Show and Tell Tuesday. Yes, I realize that I am an entire month late! In all honestly I'm not sure I will ever be on time with these topics, but my goal is to get through them in a year. It should be fun to have a few different things to talk about!
Today's topic is: tell us a little about yourself, including any resolutions you have made.
So a little about me. Which I'm sure won't be news to my lovely readers (i.e. my family!)
I am Kim....
I am second to youngest out of five children.
I grew up in a small town in Kansas (moving there from Texas when I was four). I went to our local high school, and was involved in a lot of music: band (I played clarinet through my sophomore year), choir, musicals, and our school's elite Singers group. Some of my best memories were from Singers-Variety Shows, madrigal dinners, singing valentines, and a singing competition/skiing trip to Brekenridge. I also ran cross-country my senior year. High School was a fun time and I loved being in a small town and was able to be involved in a lot of things. I also loved being a part of our church and youth group.
After high school I went to Hesston College (in the same town I was from). It is a small two-year Mennonite college, and I graduated after two awesome, HARD years with my RN degree. I made some of my best friends there and it was such a amazing time.
I lived in Wichita for two years and worked at a big hospital before getting married and moving to my husband's hometown.

| On one of our first dates |
I am a wife to Zach. We have been married for 6 awesome years. He works in town at a local business that makes various farm equipment, bale beds, mowers, etc. He does IT for them and works in the service department. He also recently started a seed business and they sell guns out of their store.
I am a mom to Lyle who is three years old (a sweet, silly, and smart little boy!)
and Mom to Aria who is one year old (a busy, ornery, and fun-loving little girl!)
We live in a small town in Kansas (population about 1,500)
I now work at the local health department. I love taking care of people, and have loved the relationships I have formed with the families we serve. I give a lot of shots, educate about nutrition, breastfeeding, and healthy pregnancies, do disease investigations, and address anything else that walks through the door.
Here are my 2016 Goals
-Make labels for the quilts I have made. I have had so much fun making quilts for my neices, nephew, and kids. I never labeled any of them, so I'd like to work something up to put on each one (who it was for, who made it, when, etc.)
-Finish Aria's quilt. Poor Aria is already a year old and I haven't finished her quilt yet. I have about three blocks done...that's better than nothing, right???
-Meal Plan and stick to our grocery budget. Meal planning helps our family eat so much healthier and cheaper!
-Fill out 365 question book with Lyle. I received this book last year for Christmas, and it is such a fun idea! Each day has a question to ask your child, and there are spots for three years, so you can see how their answers change! He was a bit young for it last year, but I'm hoping to work it into our bedtime routine.
-Make project list for our house and cross something off every month. Like put up actual blinds in our master bathroom instead of a paint drop cloth pinned up. (I do not even notice it, but it is ridiculous we haven't fixed it before now.)
-Finish thank-you note kit. The idea is to write a thank-you note every week to someone in your life. I don't count sending thank-you notes for gifts/birthdays, but try to think of other people who I would like to thank. I sent some this last year, but would like to get the rest of them sent. It's amazing what a small card and thank you can do to brighten someone's day!
-Use everydollar budget. This is a great app I have found for budgeting and it has helped a ton so far! I'm hoping to stay consistent with it this year.
-Hit 8,000 steps consistently and be able to increase my daily goal. I am not at a point in my life at the moment where I have the energy or desire to commit to a workout program. I wear a fitbit so I'm going to make hitting my steps my goal throughout the day (maybe taking a short 10 minute walk at work a time or two a day).
