Dear 2016, Please be a great year

I am ending a really pretty good day!  I got to cuddle my baby and enjoy a quiet house with Hudson and Tessa at school.  The kids ALL played together this evening while I was making dinner, which is rare.  Hudson was much better today than he was yesterday.  So that was a win!  I think my favorite days are the days when I don't have to go anywhere.  I LOVE being at home.  And I am so thankful for my home.  I feel so blessed to live here in Cache Valley and the home that we were able to buy and live in, has been such a blessing and tender mercy.  I am thankful for not only the shelter it provides, but for the spirit I feel here.  I am really trying hard to keep up on cleaning, which sometimes I feel like is nearly impossible with four kids, but I do my best!

So looking ahead to this fantastic year, here are some things I'm looking forward to!
Growing a garden, going to Cali to see family and the ocean, running a couple of half marathons, working on some personal growth: (reading the scriptures more, self control with eating, meal planning, keeping the house clean, & spending more time with my kiddos), hopefully a family vacation, and working on some financial freedom….

I am excited and hopeful that this year is going to rock!  I'm most excited to get my body back after having four sweet babies.  Here's to a good year and a more positive outlook on life.  A few of my mantras for the year,

LOOK FOR THE GOOD 

and

COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT

and

I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN WITH WHAT I HAVE

and (in reference to exercise and fitness)

TRAIN INSANE OR REMAIN THE SAME

and

THE BODY ACHIEVES WHAT THE MIND BELIEVES

Good vibes coming my way….2016, Bring it!
