2015 Happy New Year! Starting the year off with Family, Friends, Firearms, and Fixins'!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  Can you believe it is actually 2015??

First and foremost THANK YOU SO MUCH for stopping by!  After being told by girlfriends the past couple of years I should start a blog I have decided to take a leap of faith with much encouragement and guidance from great friends and do it.  Here at Prissy Dixie I hope to share with you a little view into my world as a simple country girl living in a small town raising two young kids with my wonderful husband. (Introductions to come)  As much as I love livestock, cowboy boots, and being outside I equally love fabulous jewelry, great heels, getting dressed up for no reason at all...well Prissy Dixie fancy things in general.  (More about that to come as well)

More about my New Year celebrations and what I hope and pray 2015 will bring to me and my little family!  My wonderful sister and best friend Amanda and I decided back a few months ago we would hold a New Year's lunch for anyone who wanted to join us!

Me & Amanda

 

Here in the South family traditions tell us if we eat black eyed peas and collards it will bring us wealth in the New Year.  We also have been taught what we do on the New Year's we will do the rest of the year.  Now I am not going to hold my breath that eating my black eyed peas with cornbread and onions along with my collards is going to make my checking account swell up over night...but right after our New Year's lunch I do believe I was the wealthiest woman in Georgia!  Right after lunch my sister's driveway starting filling up with family and friends that may not of made it to lunch but was dropping by for a little skeet shooting, laughs, cheers (yes, skeet shooting does turn us ladies in cheerleaders which was cracking the guys up), coffee, and just simple good family time.  Now to me that is RICH!!!

 

 One of my goals for 2015 is to slow down and enjoy more simple family time.  We did this a little this past year, but for 2015 I honestly want to make it happen more often!!  Spending time with family and friends on purpose not just because it is a holiday or someone's birthday.  This is the type of "wealth" I prefer in the years to come!  Below are a few more of my goals for 2015.  I prefer to call them goals over resolutions, to me goals are something you work towards where resolutions have to start at midnight and you can't look back.

2015 Goals:

1. Spending more alone time focusing on my relationship with Jesus Christ and growing in His word!

2. Cleaning out clutter and living a life "less is more"!(Recently read a new friend's post on FB about this and it brought me to tears and wanting this type of lifestyle more.  Thank you again for the wonderful post you know who you are!)

3.  Making a family budget and sticking to it.(helping me reach the "less is more" lifestyle)

4.  Spending more quality with family and friends making great memories for years to come.

5.  More dates with my husband!!!(easier said than done with 2 kids)

6.  Getting back to working out on a regular schedule.(with the busy holidays I have fallen off this wagon)

What are your 2015 goals?

Thank you again for stopping by Prissy Dixie!
