New Projects

     So as of recently I have finished a few new projects. I have completed a cowl for a teacher friend of mine and have also finished a really fun and chunky cowl. I am in the process of re-knitting a sweater as the first time I knitted it, it was like four sizes too big for me. I am going to re-knit it and hope it fits this time around.

New chunky cowl

For my FRIEND!

 I have been focusing on eating in for dinner a lot more. I made a wonderful taco noodle bake the other night that is one that I will have to keep in. My back pocket for when I am in need of score thing quick and easy and when I have everything at home.


      For the next month I will be joining some great ladies at my home church I grew up in for a book group on the book The Wake of Forgiveness. So far so good. We are only 100 pages into it but it it quite an interesting book. I am. Trying to do better with my reading and finish a book or two a month. I finished the Hunger Game series over Christmas break but now that I am back to school i get so tired at night that all I want to do is go to bed!


     I received a great new knitting book for Christmas and plan to get the yarn I need to complete one of the projects with either my birthday money or with my tax return money. I am very. Excited to see what happens in the coming months as this is a busy time of the year for a teacher. I can't wait for Spring Break and more importantly my trip to San Diego for a family friends wedding.

NEW YEAR

So as the new year begins there are several things that I look forward to starting and completing in 2012. I have decided that this year I am going to participate in a WORD FOR THE YEAR project. I have picked the word "Sense." I picked this word because I feel as though to connect with those around me be it work or home that I would like to feel or sense what and how people are feeling around me. I would like to also one day look back on 2012 and remember how thankful I am during 2012. I have decided and loaded the app on my phone to track my 1000 gifts as I go through the year. I am starting this new adventure and am very excited to see how my 2012 turns out.

So to start off my thankful list here I go......

1) Clean clothes

2) Testing out new computers

3) Sunrise as I drive into work

I guess I will just start with 3 today and continue from there as the year goes on. My goal is to get to 1000 before December 31, 2012.
