Its 2013!!! How in the world have we made it 2013. I remember when it went from 1999 to 2000 and I thought "Wow. It 2000. I cant imagine when we get to 2010." Now its 2013!
So last year I made New Years Resolutions. You can read them here if you want to see what they were. I was going to update monthly and updated 1 time. Ha! So much for doing that. So Ill update on how I did now.
1) Get closer to God! This is the most important to me! I do feel like I got closer to God this year. I have learned to trust more and worry less. Still working on it - but better!
2) Read the whole Bible. I have tried doing this several times but have not succeeded - I hope to this year! Sadly, I did not accomplish this. I am really disappointed in myself. I am going to try again!
3) Go on 1 date a month with my husband and be intentional about growing our relationship. We did really well with this this year and did it monthly! I hope to keep this up. Love that time with him!
4) Run a 5K without stopping - I am doing Couch to 5K to try and accomplish this! Nope - thats all Im going to say about this one.
5) Get more organized and stay organized!!! I feel like I have always been somewhat organized. Since Brody has come we just have so MUCH stuff. I want to get rid of a lot and declutter and organize. I mean like labeled tubs the works! This will be a slow work in progress but I will get there! I have gotten better at this but still working on organizing. It is a work in progress! :)
6) Lose the last 7-9 pounds of baby weight. This is hard since I am breastfeeding but I hope to! I have lost all but 3 pounds of baby weight. Now, either my scale is wrong or Arkansas makes me a few pounds heavier :). Every time I go home to Killeen I am a few pounds lighter in like 12 hours - I know thats not possible haha.
7) Encourage at least 1 person a week. I have dont pretty well with this. I hope to keep doing it and get better!!
8) Send more mail. Fail
9) Save as much money as possible! Working on it. With the move and new salaries expenses etc its been harder but we are trying!!!
10) Read 10 books. I usually read 4-5, so I am doubling it this year! I did ok. I think i read 6-7.
11) Be more open and honest about my feelings. I tend to keep them to myself sometimes. I have done much better. Too much sometimes.
12) Pray more and listen more when I pray!!! I am more! I can still do more and am working on that!!
13) Worry less! Better - but I still want to improve!
14) Keep track of Brody's growth and changes in pictures. I feel like I have done this well.
15) Journal to Brody more. I journaled alot to him via his blog but not as much in his journal. I want to more in his journal this year!
Well, there you have it. My 2012 resolutions disected! So what are my resolutions this year?!
I am not officially setting any. I feel like setting them but this extra pressure on me and therefore I tend to not do it. I am setting to live out a healthy, spiritual, fun filled year with lots of treasured time with friends and family. A lot of goals will fall into place if I do this. For example, worry less and read my Bible in a year. If I am living a deeply spiritual life I will want to read my Bible more and trust God more and worry less. See, just falls into place. :)
I am excited for this year and to see what God has in store for me! Anyone want to share their resolutions this year?!
