Things coming up this year...

My sister and hubby's brother will both get married (within a week of each other on opposite sides of the country... of course!)

We are moving into a townhouse to give us more room and the ability to pay off debt at a faster rate.

We will be debt free by fall!

I pray we are able to host a Haitian baby for a surgical procedure from Angel Ministries Haiti.

My mom turns 50!

Hopefully at least 2 trips back home to visit family.

Now... I am not really one to make New Year's Resolutions (since they almost NEVER happen if I "resolve" to do them)... but here are some personal goals for this year:

1. I would like to lose a few lbs before my sister's wedding - I am the matron of honor and I would prefer to look a little less matron-ly around the middle.

2. I want to get more consistent with my devotional time in the mornings.

3. I want to institute a family time for us to talk about things, pray together, and just enjoy being a family... on a weekly basis.

4. Plan and prepare ACTUAL meals for my family. This will take a HUGE effort on my part since I am on a "special" diet and I prefer to just fix whatever they will eat and make myself a snack. We all need to be eating healthy foods on a regular basis and I have become lazy with the whole process.

5. Work at becoming more consistent with the Fly Lady daily chores. I was doing pretty well until we moved into such a cramped space... I am hoping that the new place will be just roomy enough for us to spread out a little and I can organize our areas better.

I think that's enough!! We can all sit around and name hundreds of things we would like to change, but then we just feel bad about ourselves afterwards!  Instead, I think I will try to focus on those things that are really important to me and my family and once THOSE things are habitual... add something else.

Happy New Year!
