2010 vs. 2011

i
came. i saw. i conquered.

“Experience: the
most brutal of teachers. But you learn. By God, you learn.” — CS.
Lewis Love that quote. 2010 was a year of epic successes and epic
failures. So grateful that I have a God that loves me and never
gives up on me and a husband who does the same. if anyone ever
prays for God to humble me again (because i know ONE of you did), i
will find you and beat you up. It seems to be a reoccurring pattern
in my life that I start to wander away and God will literally body
slam me into the ground and twist my leg until I’m crying, “UNCLE!
UNCLE!” and have completely surrendered to Him once again. NO MORE,
PLEASE, SWEET JESUS! NO MORE! Away from the negative aspect of
2010, it had some amazing accomplishments and in the last few weeks
I can say that I met every single NYR
(New Year’s Resolution) on my list! 1. Ran 1/2 marathon 2. flossed
daily. 3. did yoga/pilates a lot. 4. went on a tropical vacation.
5. ate really well (for the most part). 6. community of believers-
joined a church and became members. Goals for 2011: 1. Break up
with my big bad boyfriend, Diet Coke. Oh, baby. Oh, baby. We
took a break for awhile, but now you lured me back with your cool
carbonation and flashy can and I love you once more. We need to end
this parasitic relationship. It’s not good for either of us.
2. Run another 1/2
marathon and lure an unsuspecting victim, I mean, great friend to
do it with me! 3. Take more
time to love on people. I love my job as a nurse. I love my job as
a fitness instructor and personal trainer. I want to spend more
time loving on hurting people and less time worrying about how
they’re inconveniencing me with wanting a warm blanket, and some
cheese and crackers (and hot damn, those government cheese and
crackers are GOOD!) and more time trying to help them learn that
the emergency room is for EMERGENCIES (nicely, of course) and
figuring out where the real deficits are: education or lack of TLC?

lolcatz got
it down right.

4. become more of a
domestic goddess. cook more at home. be more organized. i want to
be more domestic and learn to cook easy healthy foods at home. i
eat healthy but i want it to be stuff i make with my own hands. or
teach josh to make for me. because he’s an amazing cook.

me. maybe. but mostly
probably josh.

5.
Force/encourage Spencer Pratt to finish all of Harry Potter
and complete our Disney collection. If you keep up with my
blogging, you can tell where this one is headed. I’ve decided that
if he doesn’t finish the series soon, that when we do have children
I’m naming the first one (boy or girl, doesn’t matter) Harry just
to remind him of the books he still needs to read.

harry ramsey. i like the
sound of that.

6. Get a new puppy to
ease the hurt from losing our best bud, Frank. Okay. Okay. We
already did. She is a 4 month old Doberman we rescued from
the doberman rescue. Her name (after MUCH deliberation and careful
consideration from family and friends) is Hello Kitty. a) because
we yell “HERE KITTY KITTY” to the cats and she actually runs to me.
and b) i love to yell, “NO,KITTY!” like Eric Cartman from South
Park. In
summary- I’m pretty ecstatic about the new year, new possibilities,
and new adventures. I am confident in my goals for this year and
can’t wait to see where I will end up in 2012 (if the world hasn’t
ended already). I have no doubt that 2011 will send 2010 crying and
screaming back to the stone age, and I will soon be blogging again
about dominating my resolutions and loving the people around me, or
attempting to. -hannah. (Also- for the five people that read my
blog. If you stop by and like what you read, please leave a
comment. it reminds me to blog more and makes me feel really
popular. haha)
