It's Been a Long Time Coming....

My first blog post for the new year! I am horrible at this (though I have the best of intentions)

January has come and gone - I've had a fabulous month with lots of great things going on and just celebrating life. I am so blessed with my friends and family, a good job that I love, a husband who treats me like gold, good health and much happiness.

Early in the month we had a house full of company for the weekend to celebrate the holidays and the new year. Fabulous. Five adults, three children, plus Bill and I made 10 and we had so much fun, good food, laughs, and games. The three children are my godsons, age 4, 2 and 6weeks so I had lots of snuggles and playtime with them. I love to have a busy, happy house full of people and thoroughly enjoy being the hostess.

Then I counted down to the middle of the month, when I was able to spend a fantastic day with a good friend. We went to the city and had sushi for lunch and then headed to the spa for a full half day of pampering. I love the spa - it was heavenly!!! Afterwards we got dolled up and headed to Celebrations to meet our hubbies for dinner and enjoyed Sexy Gals in the City before heading home.

We've also had other small visits with family and friends, for coffee or cards or Wii. It's been a nice, busy month - good busy - and I can't believe it's almost gone!

Also noteworthy this month - I have finally got into a good routine of exercise and am feeling great about it. I feel stronger, healthier, happier (and just a little slimmer). I have lots of work ahead of me but it's a good start.

Not too many pictures to share - I'm not good at grabbing the camera - this is something that I really want to try to get better at.......
