Resolutions...

So I took a look back at my past years of blogging to my last 2 year's New Year's Resolutions...

This was 2008 and 2009.

2009
1- (The old reliable almost everyone picks) exercise more (I did- in spurts :)
2- Work on being more organized (have ya seen my house- fail)
3-Making time for dates with my sweetie pie (hmmm- again spotty results)
4- Laugh more! (well I definitely had some good laughs! :)
5- Take more good pictures of my kids.... (Again spotty results but I have some good ones up on my wall)

2008
1- Learn how to take decent pics of my kids (I'm taking a photography class at UVSC) . (I made a valiant effort)
2- I'm going to run the SLC half marathon in September (hopefully- it's a lofty goal but I'm motivated!) (I ran the Spanish Fork 1/2- I'm counting it...)
3- Get Brock potty trained by his 3rd birthday. (I have almost a year for this one and won't even start until probably summer or end of summer... but we'll see.) (Check)
4- Get Scott to stop sucking his thumb before Kindergarten! (Check)
5- Lose 15 pounds (I can't be sure but if i didn't I bet it was dang close)


OK- so goals for 2010... I have a ton!! But most are definitely do-able...

1- Lose most of this baby weight.
2- Run a half marathon again.
3- Get my house more organized than it is today (which really shouldn't be hard- it's thrashed!)
4- Paint and semi-decorate my new house.
5- Be better at reading scriptures/ensign.
6- Yell at my kids less(Yup I'm a yeller...)and get down on the floor and play with them more.
7- Not to let the baby make me a horrible wife... (I get awful cranky when I don't get sleep and Dan catches the brunt of it- poor thing)
8- Take more pictures of my kids (and get out my nice camera more often)


And to go along with number 8 I started a 365 day photo blog. I think I did this last year or the year before and didn't even make it out of Jan. And I'm going into this knowing there will be huge blocks of time that I will completely miss but just trying to make an effort will get me getting out my camera more and playing in photoshop more often... So it's linked on the side or you can click here... Don't expect to see a post every day but I'm sure gonna try... It'll most likely be updated more often than this blog...

Anyways- here's to a great 2010!!!

I just got a new camera, so I'm doing a 365 blog too. Only I don't have the USB cord for said camera, but it is in the mail and I should get it any day. Mine is private, due to semi-naked pictures of my children, but if you're interested (and when I get pictures up on it), I'll send you an invite. Only, don't expect much. I'm not really a good photographer (yet-that's what it's supposed to help me with, right?). I'll keep checking yours. Anytime you want to throw photography hints on there, feel free :)

Wow. GREAT goals. I'm scared to even try to attempt that. I think I might just fail everyone. :) I'll stick with picking a word for the year. It's easier. :)
