Happy New Year, 2012!!!



First post of the year!

Another year has come & gone!

New Years mean new beginnings and I am just over joyed to see what lies ahead.

I hope it's just as wonderful as 2011 , however I would love for it to slow down just a little. 2011 was insanely busy and went by WAY.TO.FAST!

New Years always makes me think of the phrase Out with the Old, in with the New - which brings us to the topic of my new years

I'll be honest with you. Don't take my new years resolution serious because

really... I never follow through. In fact, I had to look up my resolution from last year if that tells ya anything.  But what's exciting is a lot of those did happen to come true. We paid off debt to where we are almost debt free {almost meaning extremely close} & I got healthier... for the wedding however I've managed to pack a few of those horrible pounds back on. My third resolution was to shop less.. BAH! I don't know how it's possible to shop less when you plan a wedding and have a trillion events to attend. Impossible. BUT - at least I did that AND paid debt off! Yippie!

I'm getting side tracked - A.D.D. I'm getting to it. I swear.

I have a whole new outlook on my 

 this year & by golly I'm pretty excited about it. The things I have on my list this year are  more of a resolution for how I want the rest of the years to look ahead.

♥ Start making weekly dinner menu's & grocery shop by the week.

This is something I REALLY want. I think it'll help a lot and I won't feel so overwhelmed when I get home. Routine.Routine.Routine!

♥  Get up before Aaron gets up to start our day of right.

This was something I wanted to do as a "WIFE" and I mastered it for a total of two weeks.

Which happened to be a really great two weeks - I loved it. So this too, is something I REALLY want to work on.

♥ Organize my house. My gosh - I am the messiest person ever.

Every day I appreciate my mother more and more. I'm a clean person however I'm pretty messy. I've realized I'm almost I don't want to admit it a hoarder. Labels, baskets, whatever it takes for e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g in our home to have a spot. If I don't use it... get rid of it.

♥  Exercise. HA! {like make it a routine. not just one day}

This happens to be on my list every year, every month & everyday. However I never commit to it. I don't want to become a freak about it but I really want to do this for me.

Goal - Run a 5K this year.

♥  Keep my car cleaned.

Whoa! This is going to be a tough one. I'm not sure how, what, or WHY this seems so hard for me but really it is. My car isn't dirty - it's just a mess. I have this thing where I never take anything back into the house I just leave it in the car which leads to a mess. It drives me crazy, really.

♥ Shave my legs every day. 

Period.

♥ last but no where near least - pray more.

I pray a lot but shamefully I'll admit I'm the one who prays the most when things aren't always how I want them. I want to pray because life is good & because we are living.

So. Whadja think? Think I can do it? Of course! What's YOUR resolution{s}?
