I try to keep certain aspects of my life out of this blog so that they can remain personal to me and that others that I know read this may or may not... well, know those certain things and ridicule me about them. When I want them to know, I'll tell them personally. That being said, there's more to my resolutions than just what I wrote in my last post and I want to list those things here, mainly for my own reference.
Real quickly now:
-grow closer with Spencer and continue to strengthen our marriage.
-return to school and make studies a priority.
-make additional budgets for school and home life, including putting away a percentage of my personal allowance to put back into savings.
-finish ALL crafts projects started in 2008 (including clothing alterations and quilts)
-no more cardboard boxes storing random things, especially if they're not in a closet.
-15 minute clean up everyday.
-----this one I've been trying right after I get home from work, before I sit down or when I wake up on weekends before I shower or eat and it's amazing the difference it makes when I go by time and not task because so much more gets put away and picked up than I thought could happen.
-restrain my diet. this mostly means financially, we eat out SO OFTEN it's almost tragic.
-pick it up on FHE
-volunteer more, and/or donate more often.
-strive to complete my weekly work hours. For a couple months before Christmas I was getting really good at this but I've let myself get lazy around Christmas and New Years and scheduling myself a couple hours less week after week but now is the time to be making habits of saving and budgeting whatever we have and by giving myself those extra 3 or 4 hours a week I'm making a bigger difference financially than I remember sometimes for Spencer and I.
-write Rachel and McKay at least once every two or three weeks. I need to remember that Sunday is the best day to write them because they're p-day is Monday.
-take more pictures. (i.e. find our camera, lol)
-be better at keeping a personal journal.
-visit my brother more often
-help my mother at her home more often
-pray for my dad and aubrey
-visit my kuefner-relatives on holidays. the longer I wait to make a habit of this I realize the more devastating it could be in the future. especially when Spencer and I decide to have kids and I'm still somewhat estranged from most of them. I don't want that.
-grow closer to Spencer more. And then some more.
And that's about as personal as I get so enjoy it!

This is a really nice post. I love you and what you're trying to do.
Definitely admirable goals! I wish I was as brave as you; I always secretly write up goals, and then chicken out on them and feel terrible.
