Happy New Year 2011!!!!

Celebrating New Year's in Austin, TX

Happy 2011! I can't believe that 2010 is already gone and that I am embracing  a New Year. Obviously, I am a little delayed on my New Year's Post. I finally visited Austin, TX and just didn't pass through. I love that City: beautiful scenery, laid back culture, delicious local food, and it's just cool. There were 15 friends from Dallas who ventured down I-35 to spend New Year's Eve together. We rang in the New Year over looking the City on the Slab (which is technically considered private property) and then spent all the New Year's Day at Zikel Park. And to keep to my German Roots, I did have some Black Eyed Peas. As a little girl, I have found memories of my Grandparents making Black Eyed Peas and hiding the Dime for Good Luck. I always hated the Menu but it makes me smile a little. 

Here are a few of my 2011 Goals:

Financial:

- Save More & Give More; Spend Less

- Keep to the Budget in order to Steward finances well

Spiritual:

- Read Through the Bible in a Year

Physical:

- Train & Run a Half Marathon with Kelly Summers

Creative:

- Make a Colorful Quilt 

- Start Painting Canvas's as Gifts Again 

- Finish Dress
