Ringing in 2011

This year my family wanted to go dancing for New Years Eve - I love to dance, so I was super excited! We all went to Wild West, rented out a private room, had food catered in, and danced the night away!

With my two cousins and my sister wearing our New Years HatsThe boys! My three cousins and soon to be cousin-in-law this year!
The girls again!

My Big Fat Italian Family!!! Just some of my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.... haha and that's not even all of us! We have a very large family, and I LOVE it! My friend Cheryl came out and enjoyed the festivities!

Merry Christmas 2010

Every year my Nana throws a huge Christmas Party on Christmas Eve. It's one of my all-time favorite events of the year!

I hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas!!!

Happy NewYear!

I hope everyone had a wonderful new year!! This was my favorite New Years yet - and pictures soon to come!!

Now time for Resolutions... I have a couple that I would like to set for myself:

1 - Get back into running: I have been slacking lately... I ran a Turkey Dash 5K on Thanksgiving Day, but other than that, I have not put my running shoes back on. However, due to my super busy schedule, I do not think I will be able to start this one until next week.

2 - Get back on Weight Watchers: Over the holidays, I managed to gain a few pounds, as I am sure most of us did... however I was allowing myself to eat whatever I wanted... now it is time to kick myself back into gear, and lose my holiday weight. Luckily I didn't put on too much, so it shouldn't be that hard to get off. This resolution has started today.

3 - Listen to my gut instincts: I tend to believe and trust in people to a fault. Unfortunately, I was proven wrong one too many times, and learned how surprisingly nasty some people are. This resolution might be the most important one that I follow.

All in all, I wouldn't say that I hated 2010, but I couldn't wait for 2011!!! There are going to be some big changes in in my life this coming year, of which I am sure I will blog about. I am looking forward to this year and all the possibilities it holds!!!
