2014 Personal Goals

For my New Years Resolution this year, I'd like to have a baby.  That's what I was tempted to write, but there are so many other things that are going on besides having a baby that might be harder for me to get through. 

So, I've actually taken a lot of thought and contemplation, and I plan on writing all my goals down and putting them up by my bedside table to remind me of the goals that I've made myself this year.

1)  Put Heavenly Father first
--Morning and evening prayers
--Daily scripture study
--Magnify my calling (which I just got---assistant secretary in the Primary)
--Go more often to the temple, even if I can't do a full session.
--Write in my journal at least once a week

2)  Focus on my family and marriage
--FHE every Monday---we were getting really good at this in Maryland, and not so much anymore.  We'll get it...sometime.
--Eat dinner together as a family as often as possible
--Family prayer at least once a day (usually at night before the boys go to bed)
--Family dates once a pay period, where we take the boys somewhere fun, even if it's just to play at Chick-fil-a
--Research, pray and ponder about homeschooling.  I've been having so many vibes about homeschooling recently, it's not even funny.  I really don't want to pull Evan from preschool yet though, because he's doing so well right now and LOVES school.

3) Personal Health/Wellness/Talents
--Cut back on sugar---this is going to be really hard for me because I love sweets, but I've done it before and I know I can do it again.
--Eat at home at least 90% of the time.
--Drink more water
--Work out at least 4-5 days a week
--Track Weight Watchers points (starting when I come home from the hospital after having baby girl)
--Practice my sewing skills by doing a project once a month
--Prioritize my time better, to include one on one time with kids and husband, time for chores, and for personal growth.

And that's it.  I know it's a lot, but a lot of it I've already started doing, and the more kids (and the older they get) the more I realize that I have to prioritize and organize my time a lot better.
