Happy 2011!

Holy hiatus, Batman!  Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year!  Did I miss anything!?

First and foremost, I am sorry for this extended vacation my blog has taken.  Lucky for all of my readers (hello?  I still have readers, right??), one of my resolutions is to take better care of my blog.  Let's take a better look at my resolutions for this new year, shall we?

-Be better -  Period.  I want to be better at everything.  A better wife, student, employee, friend, family member, BLOGGER, everything.  If I'm not trying to be better then I'm stagnant, and I don't want to be stagnant.
-Build up our savings - Mr. Vibrant and I have been working for a long time to create a better life for ourselves.  Starting this year, we are putting away a certain amount of each paycheck to our savings account.  Before the new year, we put automatic savings plans into effect to pay ourselves first.  Can't wait to see the money start adding up!  In addition to saving more money, we are also trying to spend less.  That means going out to eat less and being more frugal with our funds.  Hopefully you all will see these changes as I begin implementing new recipes and ideas for fun nights in!
-Enjoy life - With my past birthday gone, it seems like my life is flying by lately.  I want to slow down and enjoy it.  I only have one of each day, I want to cherish the moments I have instead of worrying about what's next.  Mr. Vibrant and I get to see each other very infrequently, I want to soak up what we have together in this time where it's just the two of us.

ALSO - I have put a lot of thought into this and I have decided that there are going to be some changes to this blog this year.  I originally thought that I would separate my personal life from this blog, but honestly, it's so difficult.  In lieu of that decision, A Vibrant Life will now be more involved in all aspects of my life including Mr. Vibrant and my journey to have a baby.

Trying to conceive (TTC) has taken a huge new and exciting role in Mr. Vibrant and my life and since my last post, there have been few other things I've wanted to post about.  Hopefully I will now be able to be a much better blogger this year!

What resolutions are you trying to meet this year?  What would you like to see on my blog (other than new posts)?
