hello 2014

Happy New Year!  I love the feeling of the start of a new year.  It feels like a fresh start, another chance to set new goals and improve yourself and make it a better year than the last.  It was fun to look back at this post and cross off some 2013 resolutions that I feel I achieved, or mostly achieved.  I am excited to see what 2014 brings.  Dustin will be graduating!  We will have a {somewhat} normal Utah summer.  We will both be busy working and our sisters will both be coming home from their missions!  Can't wait. :)

2014 resolutions:
-Read the Book of Mormon.  (I am following bofm365 on instagram - everyday they post the scriptures you should be reading to finish it in a year.  It's only about 15-20 verses a day - totally doable!  So far I am on track!)
-Create a harp website.
-Build muscle, lose fat.
-Pay off my car.
-Save money.
-Do good - find more ways to serve daily.
-Attend the temple twice a month (once with Dustin, once on my own).
-Take a trip to Europe!
-Cook 3 {healthy} meals a week.
-Be more proactive and make things happen.

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.

hello 2013

I can't believe we're already well into the new year!  2012 was a good year for us - we had lots of adventures, and lots of changes.  I'm excited to see what this new year has in store for us; it feels like a lot of things are still up in the air right now, but I'm not going to worry about it, and just focus on enjoying the ride.

Some of my resolutions for 2013:
-Get to work on time.  (I live literally 4 minutes away from work, and yet every day I struggle getting there by 9am.  It's pathetic really haha.)
-Create a harp business website.
-Eat more whole foods and at least one piece of fruit a day.
-Pray more.
-Get a cat.  We got a hedgehog instead!
-Be less casual about visiting teaching.
-Save money.
-Take a trip to Hawaii.
