«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 415 Newer› Newest»My goal for Uh-leeven is to simplify & be grateful. Take what I already have (4 amazing nuggets) and focus on making them stronger, funnier, smarter & more independent istead of focusing on the things I want & don't have!!
OOOOO I love!!!

I am hoping for nothing but fun times and new adventures! :)
I'm hoping: that my family and I can travel to France this summer, that I can engage (my one word!) more fully in my life, and that I can resolve things with an old friend.
I'm hoping for a year in which my family can become even closer and that my stepson can heal from all he's been through.
I really want to have more travel time with my family. Last year was a bust in terms of vacation for us, so I am determined to be out on mini-adventures spring through summer.
Hoping to continue P90X all year!!! I'm three weeks strong :)
So so pretty! In 2011 I hope to take a huge road trip in our 1984 Westfalia Vanagon that tours the entire western US. It's just gotta happen!
