DECEMBER!





Are you serious?! How is it ALREADY December?!?!?!? <heart racing wildly> Time. Is. Going. Too. Quickly.

Okay, so I guess I need to face the fact that Christmas is quickly approaching, 2013 is almost over, and it's time to take a look at how we did this year.

These were my resolutions for the year:

1. To be more modest around the kids (i.e. covering up after a shower and not leaving the bathroom door open)
2. To continue healthy living by working out at least 5 days a week and eating as much organic and whole foods as possible.
3. To set aside more time for Nick
4. To use my skin care stuff DAILY so I don't end up all wrinkly before my time
5. To read the Bible in one year, using a program I found online.


And here's how I did:

1. To be more modest around the kids (i.e. covering up after a shower and not leaving the bathroom door open)

SUCCESS! I stopped letting my kids come into the bathroom and bedroom while I am showering, changing my clothes, etc.

2. To continue healthy living by working out at least 5 days a week and eating as much organic and whole foods as possible.

I'd say I did pretty well on this one. I still love my sugar though and even though I don't eat it as much as I used to, I haven't cut it out completely. And as for working out, I've been doing 5 days a week consistently. Yay me.

3. To set aside more time for Nick 

This year, we definitely had more date nights (and even a few weekends away) than in previous years. I decided to stop being afraid to ask my parents to watch our kids and as it turns out, they LOVE it. If I could do the same thing with my in laws, that would be great but I'm not pushing my luck. *wink*

4. To use my skin care stuff DAILY so I don't end up all wrinkly before my time

Whoops! I totally stopped doing this at some point during the year and actually forgot it was on my list of resolutions. Looks like I'll have to add that one to this year's list....

5. To read the Bible in one year, using a program I found online. 

Ummmmmm, nope. Didn't happen. I made it about a month in and got to some REALLY boring and very dry stuff (think lists of names who begat other names) and pretty much just quit. I won't be adding this back in but I will have a different religious goal this year.

So, 3/5. That's not bad, right?
