New Year= resolutions!

      Okay, I'll admit that I honestly thought it was a little funny that people made new year resolutions. I've always thought of resolutions as something you always work on.  I remember as a little girl sitting down with my parents every so often and laying out goals: spiritual, physical, mental, etc. The thought of a special time of year to set a resolution hasn't made much sense for me. 
       But this year is different and I am kind of excited for the new year.  I'm not sure what it will bring.  I hope it brings a loss of weight, maturing children, and a new (higher paying) job for my husband!  For the first time in almost six and a half years I am not breastfeeding or pregnant; so this is totally my year where I can focus a little more on what I want for me instead of being sick, or huge, or sleep-deprived. 
      I am making goals for two things in particular.  Over the years my quality scripture study has seriously decreased while my weight has seriously increased.  I am not exactly sure how I am going to squeeze exercise and scripture study into my chaotic day, but I will!  I know it sounds way cheesey, but I am going to do it and I am excited.  Hopefully these goals will get me through the January and February blues I get every year (I SWEAR those are the LONGEST months of the year)!
