New Years Resolutions

New Years Resolutions

Every year I make resolutions.  They are really more like goals.  They are attainable goals and for the past few years I usually accomplish them.  In 2014 I did not accomplish all my goals.  I don't feel let down or upset -- the year changed in ways unexpected and so did my goals.  But it is time again to make resolutions and goals.

 

* Connect with Sawyer.  I am not sure how I am going to accomplish this or where this will lead me.  All I know is that I need to create a way that our family stays connected with Sawyer.  It should be easy since the boys are all the same age but it is harder than meets the eye.  This isn't measurable but once I make a game plan...I will accomplish it.  The point is to make the game plan. 

* Clear out backyard.  This was on the list last year.  It will FOR SURE be accomplished this year.  Early into the season. 

* Go to a beach.  Really any beach will do. ....well almost any beach. 

* Ride 100 bike miles with the boys.  This will be hard to accomplish.  Cameron doesn't love riding his bike but hopefully the training wheels come off this spring and then we can take longer rides as a family.

* I want to do a half iron man.  I don't want to put it on the list for this year.  BUT I do know that there are some things that would need to get in order before I could accomplish this task...such as my swim stroke.  holy moly it is terrible.  Anyways, this is also not a measurable goal but I hope by the end of next year I am closer to accomplishing my iron man race.  Half.  half iron man.

* Take a trip with Mike.  This could be to the beach...not sure...but I want to go somewhere with just him.  With the new baby on the way it could be hard this year with PTO but even if it just a weekend trip that will make my soul happy.

 

 

2015

I must be honest, I have mixed feelings about the past year.  A lot of wonderful things happened and at the same time a lot of TERRIBLE things happened.  I am a completely changed person from who I was 365 days ago.  I think that many people who have had a rough year in 2014 are eager to begin a new year.  I am a bit different, I am a little nervous to see what is ahead.  I am not scared for 2015 but I just know that life could be just as crazy.  I tried to start 2015 on a productive foot.  The boys were in Chicago with Greg and Mike was in South Bend for work so I ordered sushi (the cooked kind) and went to bed early.  My meal was a bit of a tease...anxious to have a lot more sushi options soon!

 

 On New Years Day I cooked some meals and made a TON of oatmeal balls for when Jack is born.  I also started on my yearly shutterfly book which takes FOREVER.  Grateful to have Mike home tonight so I can have a New Years Kiss.
