Beautifully Poor

Well it is here: 2016. Within a few hours we will all be watching the ball drop and celebrating the birth of a new year and the old year behind us. I'm not sure how your year went, but mine was full of ups and downs. From Lawrence making Supervisor at work, to us making a small community impact with the homeless to losing our third child in early pregnancy it has been full of happiness and sorrow. I am very happy to see the year end though it did come and go VERY quickly (am I the only one?). I usually don't make resolutions but due to the depressing nature of the last few months I have decided on a few things. First off, I will be making it a point to have more "me" fun. Time with friends, more time out with my husband and more fun as a family. Overall, I would love to see adventure, even if it isn't anything not worthy. The second, which I have started already, is to FINALLY finish learning the French language. I want to be able to fluently speak and read it. ...

Enter To Win! With 2015 finally here, a lot of us have resolutions to make our lives better! Many of us would like to lose weight or quit smoking. I see a lot of fitness goals as well. One of the things I would definitely like to do is have a baby in 2015! We have been trying for awhile now, so with my fingers crossed and if it's God's will, I hope that dream will come true for us this year! If it doesn't, I am going to run the Monster Dash Half Marathon on October 31st. Last year my goal was to run a 5K and I killed that with running 5 of them and a 10K. It was a great summer! Another great way to start off the new year is with my first blog giveaway! My blog is fairly new, and I have always wanted to do a giveaway for my followers, new and old! So I would like to go ahead and do so now! The prize is a $10 Gift Card to T.G.I. Fridays! YUMMO! Who doesn't love some food? The winner will be randomly chosen using www.random.org  at 9pm CT on January 10th. Good...
