2015 Goals

I always like a new year. It always feels like a fresh start...the perfect time to make changes and be the person you want to be. Here are the things that I am going to be working on in 2015.

*I really want to continue to help Sally grow in her relationship with God. We are constantly talking about right/wrong and talking about stories from the bible but I am excited to start these daily devotionals with her.

*I really want to make sure that I put Joe first...even before Sally which is hard to do. I truly believe that your husband should come before your kids...even though its hard sometimes. Think about it, he was the love of your life until your kids came...that shouldn't change. We are going to attempt at least one date night a month and at least 2 small trips...just the two of us.

*I am already planning the next trip to Disney. We are going in September!!

*Learn to shoot the gun...this is something that I really need to do.

*Make an emergency binder and start collection supplies.

*Work on my meal planning

*Get a facial and a blowout...can you believe I have never gone in for a blowout?!

*Get myself to the gym 4-5 times a week

*Learn how to decorate cookies. Although I consider myself to be a really good baker, I want to master the art of cookie decorating. 

*Get our will made

*Continue to work on my sewing skills

*Work on my meal planning. I think it will make weeknights less stressful and more healthy....maybe it will also cut down my daily trips to the grocery store!

New Year, Fresh Start

2013 was an amazing year. We had so much fun with Sally, went to the beach and did several projects around the house. I quit my job and have been the happiest I have ever been.

I dont know what it is about the new year. I guess its the feeling of a fresh start. It always makes me want to reevaluate my life and see things that I want to do differently. Call them "goals" if you will. This year I want to make some goals that I can keep. 

{1} Get Healthier and Loose Weight

This is probably the most common goal that people seem to have in the new year. I do not have a set amount that I want to loose. I plan to follow this guide and hopefully "shock" my body a bit. I also want to try to eat "cleaner". I eat a ton of fresh fruits and veggies already, but I really need to cut down on my sweets and snacking.

{2} Drink More Water

I am not a big soda/tea drinker. I drink water and Crystal Light during the day and at meals but I want to try and drink more throughout the day just to keep myself hydrated.

{3} Worry Less and Laugh More

Since quitting my job in the spring, I have been so happy. Being home with Sally has been so fun and I honestly have NO stress in my life..which is super nice. I want to continue to feel like this in 2014 and just live in the moment everyday.

{4} Enjoy Life Everyday

{5} Step Away From Technology A Bit

I have a bad habit of checking my phone or playing on Pinterest in front of Sally. I am going to try and not do it at all when I am around her. I need to try and wait until she goes to bed and then I can crack out the laptop. Time with her is just too precious and I don't want to be caught up playing online when I should be playing with her.

{6} Travel More

Our traveling has slowed down a bit since having Sally...besides the twice yearly trip to Minnesota or the beach. This year I want to try and get out more and try out some new spots.

{7} Exercise at least 4 days a week and push my body

I have been pretty good about going to the gym this year. I have my weeks where I have slacked though. I want to try and get there more and also try some new classes that I have been too scared to try.
