I usually fail miserably at New Year's Resolutions, but being it is a new year and all that jazz, here I am resolving to do better this year.
You can see 2010's and 2011's here.
1. This is the same as last year; I just want to continue to grow in my relationship with God. This goes hand in hand with getting involved more in our church. I want to be on fire in my faith again. I want to build a solid foundation in my faith so that BG has something to look to. This is by far my most important resolution.
2. Work on financial freedom. I want everything paid down and get us back on track with budgets and saving and all that jazz. Economy sucks. Money sucks. Budget needed. Enough said.
3. Get healthy. I lost most of the weight that I wanted to lose in 2011, but I now want to lose some more. And get back out on the pavement. I feel so much better when I'm running and being active. I've got to get back out there. I'm also not a big fast food eater anyway, but I want to cut it out for good. And diet soda. That might kill me. I just want to make better food and lifestyle decisions. BG is at the point where she watches you like a hawk and I want her to see me making good decisions. So I should probably start doing that...
4. Find a sitter here in town and go on date nights. I would love to say weekly date nights, but that will never happen with our schedule. So maybe twice a month? At least. Is that sad? That's about twice a month more than we're doing now so there's that.
5. Figure out what I want to do with my life (career wise) and make it happen. I'm making that decision this year. To be continued..
They aren't much but they're all things I need to work towards. I know it's a total cliche to make these resolutions, but I like the idea of a new year bringing a clean slate. So here we go 2012. Please be nicer than 2011 was.

Great resolutions! I hope 2012 is your best year yet!
I love these resolution because they are all things I can aspire to do. I have wrote some semi-resolutions similar to these.
And I agree; sooo happy 2011 is over and ready for the positive changes and blessings in 2012. Hope this is the best year for us yet!!!
Those are great resolutions. Practical, but ones that can make a huge difference. Here's to a great 2012!
Awesome resolutions!!! I am hoping for some of the same! Happy 2012!
I found myself nodding in agreement with many of these, particularly the date night one and getting healthy(ier). I think having a kid is one of the best motivations for being fit and making good choices that there is. And I had to laugh about the "2 date nights a month" thing, because that is exactly what I was thinking! I'd love to do more than that, but I don't think it's possible with our schedules right now. Oh well - here's to resolutions!
I wish I lived close by so I could be your sitter:(
I love your blog! :) I can't wait to read more! :) Erin
I think we should add to our lists.. Have a play date in Atlanta and let E and B play :)
Hope 2012 is the best yet!
These sound exactly like my resolutions! Maybe I should post on my blog to hold me more accountable....
These are great resolutions! Hi! Stopping by after a really long break from the blog world. Happy to see things going so well! xo
I wish you guys a wonderful year!!!! and you can even do date night at home if that makes it easier :) You look fab and I can't wait to hear what you decide on your career...you will be good at anything I'm quite certain!
Best wishes with your goals! I agree with Megan, it is so hard to get out of the house (and expensive)-have some date nights at home!
