New Year

It has been awhile, and I keep meaning to write a little something, but get lazy.

Tomorrow I go back to work after a nice long week off. I really enjoyed my time and got stuff done.
So here are some updates...

Health
Doing great.  2010 was a good year for me as I was healthy all year long. Its great to start the New Year healthier, and with NO tingling. My weight is about where I want it, I just need muscle. To keep healthy I need to continue to get stronger, and balance life more.  I've signed up at a cheap gym nearby and I intend on lifting and running. I hope to stick to it.

Work
BUSY!  Though I was allowed the week off, I know I am coming back to chaos. Though I'll probably work a lot, I've tried to make a promise to at least work out.  I still love what I do, and glad that my salary is almost back to 100%.

Martial Arts
Though I am sad to not be able to help Jeff at the Eliot, what also hurts is that I probably won't be able to make it to Karate either. I'm bummed, but I'm hoping to fold it in as much as I can.  The KICK program ended strong and we reached all of our goals in 2010. I'm hoping to do some good things in this upcoming year. I will also try to continue to fold in Muay Thai. I've met an old student of Jeff's and she is willing to give me a ride on Saturdays so at least I will have that. I've also asked Jeff for us to do training every Sunday. Mostly for me to keep my Karate up to par, and just hitting stuff for Muay Thai.

I'd really like to get into the ring. I've been saying it for a long time, but I need to make it happen. This is been like a hobby that I've been in and out of. I'd like to do something with it.

2011 Stuff
I'm really excited that Jeff and I will be going to Michigan in July. The best part will be spending time with my niece. It will be so awesome. We will be spending time up at the Cabin, and maybe even spend a couple days in Grand Rapids with Krysta.  More and more Jeff and I are thinking about our future. Michigan is an option, so we'd like to see how our gut feels.  I heard this quote once "When you ask God a question you get an answer. Yes, No, and Wait."  I'm really thinking that this time next year we will know our answer. In some ways our future was so unknown during 2010, and it felt sometimes like purgatory. We want and we need to make stuff happen for us. I hope things become a little more clearer throughout this next year.

2012 seems a long way off but not so far.

My dad says 'seekers of the truth'.  I always trust my gut and my heart. I also know all things will work themselves out. Sometimes I just need patience. Sometimes I just need the confidence to make the tough decisions.

Here is to the New Year!
