I can't believe that another year has come and gone! It seems that we just started 2011 and now it is already 2012. And the first month of the year is almost over! (I'm not off to a good start at blogging this year).
When a new year starts I always think about the changes that I would like to make in my life. Of course there are always the normal ones - exercise more and eat better. This year I would also like to learn more about healthy foods and whole foods. I really don't know much about nutrition, but I would like to learn. I might have to start looking at people's blogs about it! But you will still see some unhealthy recipes on my blog :)
A big goal for me this year is to finish my BSN in December. This will require me taking 9 credit hours this spring, summer, and fall, but it will be worth it. I started the spring semester last week and so far it is going okay. I just keep telling myself that this semester will be over the end of April and I can do anything until then :) If I am able to graduate in December I will be graduating with Clay. It will be so nice if we are both able to be done with school at the same time.
I also have been thinking about changes I need to make in my spiritual life. I always need to read my Bible and pray more regularly. I would like to start a prayer journal but I'm not sure how to do it. I talked to my friend, Kim House, about it and she wasn't sure exactly how to do it either. We weren't sure whether to do it by request or date or something completely different. If anyone has ideas please let me know!
Another goal is to be a better wife. I did a Bible study this year with the girls in our Sunday school class called For Women Only. It was a great study and I learned a lot, but I think I need to read it again :) Thankfully I have a very patient, loving husband!
One of the biggest things that I need to do this year is remember my goals and not forget about them by February!
