The New Year

I am not good at making and keeping New Year's resolutions.  It just doesn't end well for me.

However, there are a few things I would like to do in the new year.  So without further ado...

My 13 New Year's Goals for 2013!

1. Eat better - More specifically... Snack less.  
2. Lose weight - Neil & I talked recently about signing and committing to Weight Watchers again.
3. Be a good/better wife - Speaking of Neil. This past year we brought home a cute little newborn.. who sucked up a bunch of our time and energy.  We survived next to each other.  This year I want to be both a wife and a mom. 
4. Live more in the moment - Be more present.  Not worry about the messy floor or the kitchen counter all the time.  But spend more time with Reid & Neil. 
5. Take a family vacation - 'nough said.
6. Run again - I had a love hate relationship with running.  I loved that I was running and how I felt after.  I hated running.  But I miss it also.  I miss the time spent alone with my own thoughts. 
7. Ride again - I loved riding bikes with Neil.  I miss it.  We will ride again this spring. 
8. Try more recipes - I enjoy cooking.  This past year it seems like we eat the same rotation of meals each week.   This coming year I will try more recipes.  
9. Start family traditions -Reid has been too little to really take and try new things with this past year.  However, this year there will be family traditions started.
10. Make family memories - Spend more time together.  Have fun together.  Enjoy each other.
11. Become a better photographer - I am getting better.  Not good but better.  Take more pictures.  Take better pictures.
12. Learn something new - Anything really. 
13. Take a risk - Heck, I am writing this on the day the world was supposed to end.  12/21/12.  We are still here.  2013 calls for some excitement.
