On to 2013......

I am a little behind this year in planning my year - at least setting some goals and thinking about what I want to accomplish this year. A lot of my goals remain the same each year and so I won't bore you with those - they are redundant and I hope to accomplish them but to keep repeating myself makes me feel like a failure and above all else this year I want to live in joy! No matter what!

One of my biggest goals this year is so begin to memorize more scripture. And to make my bible study homework a top priority. I'm off to a bad start so far but I'm not going to get discouraged this year (another one of my goals) I just need to pick myself up and start!

I want to spend less time on the computer and more time playing with my kids. It seems that when I have a few extra minutes I prefer to spend them at the computer checking my websites. Not good if I want to be the kind of parent that I need to be.

And here are a few more - just a list of things that I want to do this year - and blog about!

1. Try at least one new pinterest recipe a month
2. Do at least one new pinterest craft a month
3. Have at least one coffee/friend date a month
4. Truly listen to people - truly!
5. Be a better parent, wife, friend, daughter, sister and teacher
6. Learn to live with the fact that I can't accomplish everything that I want to do - less is more!
7. Take pictures - lots of pictures
8. Eat healthier
9. Hopefully find a wonderful place to relocate our family - south of Nampa
10. Read more and often!
11. Enjoy my new nephew - so excited to meet him! Will definitely be a highlight of 2013 for sure!
12. Put together shutterfly books for each year that we've been married. My goals is to do one a month and then purchase them when there is a good sale. Also would like to keep my 2014 calendars updated so I can be more prepared come Christmas time when I want to order them.
13. Get our family pictures taken (kids in the spring, family in the late summer or early fall)

I know there are a lot more but less is more right?

Cheers to 2013 and all that it holds!
