Yay I'm so excited to be caught up and for this new year, even though we are 3/4 through January already. Steven and I had a long talk about what we wanted to get out of this year and how we were going to accomplish it. Basically we are both tired of feeling like we are treading water and never getting on top of anything. This year is going to be about getting control of our lives and making it better.
1. I'm going to keep this blog caught up. I'm realizing that when I am so far behind I can't remember all the fun little things that happen not only everyday, but with the big events as well.
2. Organize the house. The basement and garage are the biggest offenders of being out of control. we've made a good start on the basement. Saturday mornings when Steven gets home from work we have been working on it for a couple of hours. I lost my scrapbooking room to Paizley so we are setting up an area in the basement for me to keep all my stuff.
3. Loose a crap ton of weight. I love eating so much and the last couple of years have really taken it's toll. I was doing pretty well before Christmas with my exercising and diet but then I lost control of it again. My goal is one pound a week throughout the year.
4. Get our temple recommends back. It's been far too long since we have been to the temple. We have been doing really well making it to church for the last two years. I think this is the year to go the rest of the way.
5. Read at least three books as a family. This was Steven's goal and has decided to start with The Little House in the Big Wood. Paizley claims that she doesn't like reading chapter books but she seems to be getting into it.
6. Get at least a three month supply of food storage and 72 hour kits. We have been working on food storage a little the last couple of years but I really want to make it a focus and get a good system going.
I feel like I'm more committed this year to accomplishing my goals then I have been in the past. I'm sure I'll be posting updates!
