A New Year.....

brings new changes.....one such change is that I am closing down my other blog. I just feel it's too much to keep track of....and most of it can be logged here....I have a few things that I do want to concentrate on in the new year...but I also want to Keep Things Simple ....and not overtax myself...We have enough going on in our lives right now...and really the main thing I want for this year is to be Happy...and to enjoy it...and so THAT is what I'm going to be concentrating on....living life to the fullest...and figuring out what that means for ME and our Family....I get myself torn in so many different directions...I read many different types of Blogs....I read Frugal Blogs and think yes...that is the life I want....pinching pennies and learning to do without....I read Extravagent Blogs and think no THAT is the life I want...shoes shoes shoes...LOL....I read Crafty Blogs and want to emmulate them...Martha Stewart wannabe......or Christian blogs and think yes that is what I want to be like..making homemade bread and having a perfectly organized home.....fact is I'm a little of each...and need to find a way to mesh that all together....



another change is .......voila ..................








I got my hair cut for New Years Eve.....I took this just as we were getting ready to leave....if you scroll back a few posts you can see how long my hair had gotten ...it was quite long...all the way down my back....I hadn't cut it since before DH went to sea back in Oct. of 2006...over a year.......it was just really starting to get on my nerves....I couldn't DO much with it...it kept getting caught and was starting to look a little ragged...I've been wanting to cut it for the last few months but then would chicken out....so I finally bit the bullet and just walked into the salon yesterday and got it done....I LOVE it! ....it feels so light and bouncy now.....it's still on the long side but not irritating....and it looks sooo much healthier....

Here's Brad and I at the New Years Party we went to last night...we had a REALLY good time....I felt BEAUTIFUL with my new Hair..and my fancy shiny top!...it's very rare that I feel that good about myself...but last night I did......here are more pics from the night....
