2010 was a fabulous year. I started practicing law. Matt finished his Masters, got a job teaching, and we had a baby! The last three all happened within 3 weeks of each other. It was an exciting and pivotal year for us. However, I’m looking forward to a good and less eventful 2011. I finally feel like we are making headway on all the things we had wanted for our family. With all the schooling, it seemed like we were stuck in one place for so long. Our future just seems so much brighter now. Its been hard adjusting to just being. Previously there was always something coming up, a graduation, a job, a baby. Now we are able to just live, without counting down the days until ___ (fill in the blank with what ever). I've had a ticker running for so many years. It’s weird at times, but I like it.
I did not make any resolutions for 2011. However I would like to get back to feeling like Shelby. I have quite a bit of baby weight that is hanging around, and I still don’t feel quite like myself yet. I decided to kick my own butt last week on the treadmill and seriously did a whammy on my back. I’m going to have to ease back into things a little slower than I would like. Mentally I’m ready to have a good hard workout, but it seems my body isn’t quite there yet. And with my little one, I can’t afford to do that again, and be unable to bend down and pick up my sweetie. Seriously I had to call for Matt's help to get her the morning after I overdid it. Slow and steady I guess.
Here’s to a wonderful 2011!

I know what you mean, planks weren't a good thing to do less than 3 months after a c section, they made me hurt for days! I'm so ready for a good workout, too, I've still got 18 pounds left to go. I'm sure we'll both get back in the groove soon. These girls did a number on us, but so worth it! Glad things are slowing down for you guys and you have lots of time to make memories with your baby!
