2011 is here and with a fresh start came some more snow and bitter cold! Autumn and I rang in the New Year with some friends and when we left there house shortly after midnight is was a balmy 26 degrees below zero! There is a reason the Eskimos ended up in Alaska, because Chesterfield was to cold! We had a great time and we are excited to see what changes and adventures 2011 will bring our way! I have decided to enter the realm of new year resolutions and I have set a goal to be 40 lbs lighter by the end of 2011. This means that I will have to give up my addiction to sweets, maybe I can convince myself that i am allergic to Chocolate! lol Last year I decided to give up pop, I made it to July and then I gave in to temptation and had a sarsaparilla that they sale in the old log store up to the town site. It was great to know that I didn't really even crave pop after that though. Hopefully, the weight thing will be successful, I am hoping that it will help that I am playing on a city league basketball team, getting some much needed exercise running up and down the floor.
Autumn started school again this week, she enjoyed a nice 1 1/2 week vacation, but now its back to the grindstone and 35 Kindergartners! It is amazing how fast time flies, it seems like school was just starting a couple months ago and now its onto the downhill slide!
I have been working on finishing up the implementation of a large grant, now I am working on the final report due the end of January. I am excited to find out the results of three new grants that I have submitted. I should find out about them any day now!
Well, once again I hope the new year will bring all of you good things and great adventures! May God Bless each of you!
