1. Read the Book of Mormon twice. I'm only halfway through with reading it for last year (FAIL) so I might just end up finishing this round and reading it again. The important thing to me is to at least finish it one full time. I've never done that and I really have no excuse.
2. Lose 10 pounds. In 2009, I was able to get down to 140 (from 160) and that means I'm 5 lbs away from being at my pre-married weight. This year, I think another 10 lbs is realistic and it would be great! Honestly, I don't have a "goal weight" .. I just want to get down to where I feel better about myself. I can't believe my mother was 105 when she was married! I could never be that small, but it doesn't hurt to just be healthy. Even if I don't lose those 10 lbs, I'd be happy to just be more physically active and feel good.
3. Read Harry Potter 1 & 2. I tried to read HP back in Jr. High and I just couldn't handle the fantasy. But now that I've had a chance to broaden my horizons, I think I'm up to the challenge. I've enjoyed the movies, so I hope I can do it!
4. Do 10 paintings. I took up the acrylics two years ago, painted a few times, and then they just faded into the background. I recently sat down and painted something that was really fun, and I think it would be great to do 10 of them this year! I've always wanted to have more hobbies, so this is one I want to work on.
5. Learn to round-brush my hair. I had my sister-in-law Heidi do this for me back in high school and I absolutely loved the end result. It's so pretty! I would love to be able to do that by myself..
6. Write in my journal at least once a week. When I was little, I wrote in my journal religiously everyday. Even though most of the time I had nothing to talk about, I wrote everyday. Since then, I've gotten too busy and I miss it! I'd like to eventually write everyday, but I think it's more realistic to at least write once a week, maybe every Sunday to catch up on the last week.
7. Go to church every week. I did it when I was growing up, so what's wrong with doing it now? It would be great for us, even if it's just me.
That's all I've got for now. Cody and I went snowmobiling with Jason and Kim today. Even though I am enormously sore, it was a success for sure. OH! We also bought the new Nikon D3000 and have been enjoying it's excellence. I feel so bad that I don't know how to use it to it's full potential yet, but my day will come. Thanks for reading, photos will be up eventually :)
I love your resolutions and they are definitely all something that I seriously need to work on. I used to round brush my hair all the time in high school and it's easy to pick up, but you have to practice, because it was a little hard at first. You can do it! I love your goals though and I hope you achieve all of them!
