resolutions

We had a really fun New Year's Eve!! Our friends Casey and Ashley came over and I cooked for everyone in my new crock pot! We then played games and ate some amazing cheese dip that Ashley made. We had such a fun time! The thing I'm the most proud of is the way Max acted. He was an angel, even while we were playing games in the middle of the floor. He's growing up!! Now onto my new year's resolutions. I make resolutions every year and, like most people, I don't really follow through with them. I keep them up for maybe a month and then life gets the best of me. Well, I'm trying to start a-new this year. I'm telling myself that it's okay if I mess up on my resolutions, just as long as I get back on track after I get off. Hopefully if I share my goals on here, I'll be more likely to keep them. Here they are: 1. Drink more water. I need to drink a bottle of water for every diet coke I have. (That's gonna be lots of water!!). 2. Work out. At least four times a week. Can include walking Max, doing my new Tae Bo videos, or going to the gym. 3. Cook more. I'm going to really try to cook an actual meal at least twice a week. I plan to use my new crock pot!! 4. Read the Bible/pray more. This is on my list every year. 5. Find a church. Matthew and I are still looking for a church that's right for us and where we can get involved. A new year is not the only time for making goals, but it's easier for me to start over if I feel like I have a clean slate. I hope you are successful in your resolutions!
