2010 New Year's Resolutions

I think I told my friend Carly that
I accomplished all but two resolutions from last year.
Well, let me go ahead and correct myself.
I believe I actually only accomplished
two of the goals out of the ten.

Last Years...


1. Catch up on my family scrapbook.

I am still a year behind.
Not two years though.
So I have worked on it,
but I haven't caught up.

2. Not be a lazy mom.

This is one of those that
I can always get better at.

3. Learn how to mountain bike.

Um, no

4. Travel outside of Texas at least two times.

Arizona and Pittsburgh

5. Enjoy Bella as much as possible these next 8 months,
because she will be in school next year!! :( All day. boo.

I really did.
I loved traveling with her to see
Lily in AZ and Kirstin in PA.
Sweet Memories with my
sweet Bella (and Jane).

6. Be a supportive wife.

-Hold, let me ask Brett-
His response
"Yeah, I think so.
Especially now that you
are supporting my tats."
Hmm, not sure when I told
him that I would support that?

7. Work out at least 4 to 5 times a week.

oh please. I should have
aimed for one of two days a week.

8. Read at least five books.

no

-read half of Twilight-
-read 3/4 of The Shack-
- read the book of Esther-

9. Work on my tone.
Not my muscle tone. My tone of voice.

Again, let me ask Brett.
"I think so."
Why are all of his responses...
I think so?!

10. One random act of kindness every month.

I bought the lady her
Starbucks in the line behind me.
One out of twelve....
I failed at this one.

This Years...

1. Catch up on my Scrapbook and
transfer my VHS home videos to DVD's

- Let see if I can really do this, this year-

2. Learn to sew

- I have my mom's sewing machine in the garage,
I just need to find time.-

3. Exercise 2 to 3 times a week on average.

-Hopefully more!-Hopefully just this much.

4. Wake up before my kids 75% of the year.

-That means at 6:30am during the week.
And 7:00 on the weekend.-

5. Write 12 letters (one for every month)
to people who have been very
influential in my life.

- This could be something I do for years to come-

6. A family fun night once a month.
Themed.

- Intentional time as a family!-

7. Go on one adventure with Brett.

- I was to ride a bicycle built for two in New Mexico.-

8. Read three books.

- I really want to take my kids to the library more. -

9. Take Rowan on one outing a week...
that is for him.

- The poor guy is probably tired of being
at home all day, everyday.
-
*and go on a family vacation*

10. Get time in the word
and hearing the Lord daily!

Here's to accomplishing
more goals in twenty ten, cheers!

I think I can relate to each of those you listed. In fact, most of them are my exact thoughts. I'm going to list my ideas on my blog and I may have to "use" some of yours. Thanks for sharing.

And Creighton and I would LOVE to meet you at the library. I was just saying to my mom that I need to let him go check out books. He loves to read. Hmm. The Hewitt one?
