New Years Resolutions

I always make New Years resolutions and never follow through with them. This year I have decided to make resolutions that I know I can keep.

1. Run a 10K (Cowtown in Febuary)
2. Raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (Required to raise $500 for Team in Training)
3. Follow a budget (Self imposed starting Jan. 1)
4. Get a stamp in my passport (Trip to Rivera Maya in March)
5. Read at least 6 new books  (This is the only one I could possibly fail at)
6. Cook my way through the Pioneer Woman cookbook

I'm excited to celebrate my first New Years with Kason. We have reservations to eat at Del Friscos and we will ring in the New Year there with champange and a kiss at midnight. The next day we are headed to San Antonio to cheer on the Red Raiders at the Alamo Bowl. What a great start to a brand new year!

Love,
Sam

Goodbye 2009

I know I have been bad keeping up with this blog. I sit down and start to write something and get stuck and give up. I had 4 blogs that I never finished so I will finish and post this one done or not. 2009 has been a great year for me. I met my boyfriend in January of 2009 and because of him I have done more this year than ever. Here is just a little of what we did this year.

Cadillac Ranch, Amarillo

Texas Tech Football

The Alamo

Tech vs. Baylor @ Cowboys Stadium

Durango, Colorado

New Orleans

2010 will hold even more memories. We already have a trip to Rivera Maya planned for Spring Break. January 2010 will also mark my 2 year anniversary of my stem cell transplant. To celebrate I have decided to train with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training to run my first 10K. My goal is to raise $500 to help promote the mission of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's of finding a cure for all blood cancers and improving the quality of life of patients and their families. I'm not a runner, but with the help of the trainers and my dedication to the Leukemia Society's mission I will be able to complete this goal I have set for myself. Please visit my Team in Training webpage if you would like to help me reach my fundrasing goal. http://pages.teamintraining.org/ntx/cow10k10/sgalpin

If there is anyone still reading this blog I wish you and your family a healthy and prosperous 2010.

Love,

Samantha
