Good morning, beautiful friends! Today I am OFFICIALLY back in town and man, even though vacation was a blast it is good to be home. The cruise ended on Sunday and the rest of the family headed home, but Le Husband and I decided to extend our stay in NOLA a few more days and we enjoyed our extra time away. I will say it was sooooo nice sleeping in our own bed last night, man did I miss it, haha. Vacation time is always great, but there really is no place like home, right?
Sorry for the secrecy, but I always get weirded out when I'm leaving for longer than a weekend. Luckily I was able to use the quiet time around the holidays to prep some posts, so I hope you enjoyed them if you stopped by last week. I'll be getting back to all your sweet comments today and hopefully will catch up with reading later this week.  |

resolving: to figure out my goals for 2016. I believe I have found my word, but am not sure about my fitness and personal goals yet. I don't want to set anything too lofty, but I also don't want to aim low. I'm taking my time like I did last year to make sure I get it right.
reading: lots of blogs. I'm playing catch up from my week away and it's fun seeing friends again!
anticipating: 2016 and all the big changes we have planned.
organizing: the apartment, my new planner, my work desk and my clothes. The New Year brings the organizer in me.
loving: my bed. After being gone for over a week it's nice to sleep in my own bed.
craving: fresh whole foods and homemade sugar cookies, random I know!
wanting: to kick butt teaching my first BODYPUMP class tomorrow. I'm excited and hope everyone likes me!
hoping: to find my flow for the year. I know things will rise and fall as they should, but I hope I can quickly get into a flexible routine. I also hope to be able to take on more substitution classes this month as well.

Woohoo for vacation, but I totally feel you on sleeping in your own bed!! I can't wait to hear all about your vacation!! It was so hard to try and keep up with reading blogs during the holidays so I just kind of stayed away until after and playing catch up is hard, but fun!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always sad when vacation is over, but man--coming home is the best! I am dying to try a BODYPUMP class, so I think you should come out to Hawaii and do one ;)
