I don’t do resolutions.
But here are some goals for 2012:
-be a better friend. Write more letters, send more cards, make more phone calls, listen more.
-go on more dates with my husband. At least once a month. We have our first one schedule for Saturday.
-read more adult books. I love reading books and then recommending them to my students. Their response is beautiful. But I need to read some adult books. I started Bossypants by Tina Fey yesterday and I’m loving it.
-write a marriage and family plan/constitution (maybe something like this?)
-pray more as family
-play more
-be more transparent
-save more than we did last year
-by the end of the year be rid of all debt except our mortgage and my student loans (but we’re coming after you next student loans!)
-do more with less
-get more sleep
-wear out the gym membership we got last month
-be more patient
-finally start that couples bible study book with Chris. We’ve only had the book for six months.
-no wrecking the car (or van)
-be more patient with my mother
Well, the bad news is I’ve already not done some of this stuff and it’s just the first day of the year. That means I can only improve!
Here’s to an awesome 2012!
I love the one about transparency . . . sometimes it is truly uncomfortable . . . that is how you know it’s right, right? I have really learned about the importance of this this past year in my new job . . . I sleep really well at night . . .
I think sometimes through blogging (and in real life), things seem better than what they really are because of what I share or don’t share. Not purposefully, but who wants to write or talk about the rough stuff? So more of that–sounds exciting, huh?!
i like this post.
todd and i need to pray more too…and a couples bible study book is good too.
maybe one day our house will sell and we will make it over to that side of town and we should start something up. that is if we are cool enough to hang out with you cool cats 🙂
We have a little test you’ll have to complete and then we’ll see. I’m sure you’ll do fine though. 🙂
I really think we need to be in a small group and do life with some peeps. Let’s do it!
deal!
