Lindsay and I rented "Eat Pray Love" on Friday night. I had heard it wasn't that great but I enjoyed it. Maybe it's because I'm on my own mission to find balance in my life. It resonated with me. This is the Year of Nicole and I am going to eat good food, try new things, spend time with the people I love, and pray that I find the balance that I need. I want to be excited about life again, and I don't want Josh to be the reason I feel that way.

Last night I went over to Aunt Lu's for dinner and told her about my goals for the year. She asked me to include going to church with her every Sunday. I was a little reluctant at first. Sunday morning is my sleep in morning and I didn't want to give it up. But I agreed to do it. I'm doing it because I know it will make her happy, but maybe I will find that I get something out of it too.

We also decided to go out for Vietnamese food next. I told her about the movie and it inspired us to try something new. I've never had it before and I've wanted to try it. So it's part of my eat good food and try new things. I'm getting very excited about the adventures ahead this year.
