New Year Resolutions!!

Before I jump into the New Year Resolutions, I wanted to give you all a quick update on Randy's surgery. We have a date set for him to get it done!! He will be having surgery February 4th :) ok on to the resolutions!

It's that time of year again!! The time where we all make resolutions that we all end up failing at lol :)  I usually don't make any but this year I had a friend tell me her and her husbands system when they set the resolutions or goals for the year and I loved it!! So I told Randy about it and we decided to set some goals for ourselves :)

To make it easy on myself, I will be B, Randy will be R, and together will be T. Sounds confusing right now but you'll understand in a moment!

Personal

B- be a better housekeeper. For those who know me really well they know that I'm not the best at keeping up on the housework. So my goal is to keep up better than I currently do. I still may not be perfect but hey at least I'm trying right?

R- be more positive and less grouchy. For those of you who work retail, this will make complete sense. After dealing with grumpy customers all day it's hard to stay positive. Randy set his personal goal to be better.

Educational

B- learn more quilting techniques. I love to quilt and I'm always wanting to learn more!

R- figure out the best time to return to school. We know the sooner he gets back the better. We just have to decide whether it would be best for him to return to school this summer or next spring.

Financial

T- pay off personal debt consolidation loan. Yes we have debt. I know very few people who don't. Our goal is to get all or most of our loan payed off. We got this loan to pay off some credit card debt that seemed like no matter how much we paid on it it never seemed to go down.

Physical

B- get outside more. I don't need to lose weight I'm perfectly fine where I am. But I do need to get outside more. This I believe will help me get fit, meaning more muscle :) getting outside more means to me that I walk more, or garden, or play with my dogs. Maybe even hike. I don't really know, just getting my butt off the couch lol

R- more muscle! Randy would like to gain some muscle this year :)

T- drink less soda. Randy and I LOVE Dr Pepper and our goal this year is to drink less. So far we aren't doing so great with this one ;) but we are trying.

Spiritual

B & R- work on personal scripture study. We both had the same goal with this one :) we do really great at family scripture study but our personal is lacking quite a bit! So we want to be better about taking the time personally to read the scriptures.

T- be better about saying our family and personal prayers. This is another area we've been lacking in. For the first few years of our marriage we did really well with this. Rarely missing a night, then we slowly stopped with personal prayers. Saying them some nights but not others and then the same thing happened with our family prayers. So we made a goal to get back on track with saying them every day.

Hopefully these inspired you :) and maybe you can help keep us on track! Also a quick apology for not blogging for so long. Christmas and New Years kinda threw me off. Maybe I should make a goal to actually get my blogs up on time lol ;) anyways, I wish you all a happy new year!

Til next time!
