2013 Resolutions

  I love the New Year. Brian and I just celebrated our 7th New Years Day together. It's been long enough that we have created our own traditions.  We always cook a turkey and we always make our general financial plan for the year. You know you are a super nerd when you look forward to making the yearly budget! 

I have come to realize that I am a goal oriented person, and that's okay. There is nothing wrong with having a plan and its easier to follow when you write it down or share it. I doubt you are interested in our 2013 budget, or maybe you are lol, but I do want to share my resolutions.

#1. Do the dishes more often. I hate doing the dishes, but I am the dishwasher and they can stand to be washed a bit quicker and a bit more often!

#2.  Finish reading the Bible. Since I was a teenager I have tried many attempts at reading straight through the Bible. I have quit every time, except this time. I started in 2012 and I am not stopping until I am done. I don't care if it is December, I WILL read the ENTIRE book. I have been a believer for WAY too long to have never done this.

#3. Exercise. One of the 2012 resolutions was to run a 5k. It was awesome. Brian and I ran the Rt 66 5k in Tulsa with Lee and Leah and we had a blast. 

Not only was it fun, but my body felt so much better because of the training. I love running. No one can get me. I dont have to wipe any bottoms or get anyone water or pick up toys. I am all alone and free for that short amount of time. 

We haven't exercised a bit since the pre-Thanksgiving race...l and I can feel it. So, I want to feel better and get my heart rate up. 

I think our times were like Lee 32:03, Brian 29:45, and myself 26:45? I don't know, I am bad with numbers. I hope we do it again!

#4. Slow down on the Dr. Pepper. 

#5. Memorize two verses a month, bc if you don't plan it, it doesn't happen. Memorizing is not an accident, unless it's a Taylor Swift or JB song and then you wonder how ever did I learn these words? 

#6. And there's one more, but it's not really blog material.......

So these are pretty general here.... More, less, slow down, but that's okay. They are down and although I am certain only 1 reader can hold me accountable to all of the above, I am going to try! Happy New Year
