Tonight we were surrounded with good friends, good food, and the joyous news that our neighbor's baby had been born. The boys had such a fun time playing at our neighbor's house, and we did the whole 9 PM Happy New Year's thing. It was fun to watch the boys blow noisemakers, sip apple cider, and get really excited about the countdown. I even got three kisses at my "midnight." When I came home, I sat down and thought about this past year, all that has happened, and for the first time in a really long time, I made some New Year's resolutions. So in no particular order, just how they happened to get out on paper, here are the resolutions:
- Keep finding the joy... I learned a lot last year, but this was my most important lesson that I learned, and I am going to everything I can to keep it up.
- Finally get to my goal weight... I am just 15 pounds shy to get to a healthier me, and maybe now that my arm is on an official mend, I can finally work out this year and get to my goal.
- Get a dog-it's time.
- Visit friends I said I would last year... but then last year happened lol.
- Take five to ten minutes a day per child to read or just sit and play. I realize that that may be a pathetic resolution, but in this day and age of crazy busy, I think it's good to have a goal of ten minutes of alone mommy time.
- Appreciate my husband more. I'm working hard to let the little things go, but I need to improve more.
- Go to the temple at least two times per month. I really hope I can achieve this goal because going to the temple brings so many happy moments and brings me peace.
- Get back up on the horse that threw me off... This is not a crazy resolution, I do not have some sort of brain damage, there is the saying to literally "get back up on the horse," and I intend to do so. Something I need to do for me.
- Redo my bedroom and have some "me space." I work really hard on keeping the kids' toys out of my room, but I think once we redo the bedroom it will be a little easier.
- Remember all that 2011 taught me, appreciate it, and go forth as a changed person to help others in THEIR "2011" years.
