2012

I kind of feel like this is it.  2012 is the year 

that I'm really going to be better.

I'm finally to the point in my life where I can

 focus on all those things I want to master.

This year I have a lot of resolutions.  

I know that's usually a bad thing.  People say that you 

should just choose one or two things to really focus on that 

way its easier to actually accomplish them. 

But I'm that personality that needs a lot going on to get stuff done.  

Otherwise I feel like I have all the time in the world 

to get something done and I just keep procrastinating. 

 I need organized chaos.

So here are my 2012 New Years Resolutions

Be Happy!
 Following these resolutions will help you become the happy person you want to be! 

Be spiritual
Personal and Family scripture study daily
 Make Family Home Evening happen

Go to the Temple once a week
Strive daily to become more like Christ
Look at all people as the children of God they are. 

Look for ways to serve others – including strangers. 

Be productive
Start the Morning out right: Get up early, Make the bed, Exercise,

 Make a healthy breakfast each day, Shower
   Get jobs done early each day

Make a conscious effort to be appreciative and encouraging
No computer when Jeremy is free
Find things to do together other than tv (i.e. puzzle, game, talking)

Spend time each day helping her learn and grow
Make sure she knows you love her

I know this is kind of a lot of resolutions, but as we talked about what we wanted to change this year, there wasn't really anything I felt I could take off this list.  So here's to an organized chaos of resolutions!  Happy New Year! A week late....
