Resolutions?

Every year I read others' resolutions and wonder how many keep them through the year.  I can't imagine many make it the whole year doing what they envisioned on January 1st.  I hope I never stick with one focus for a whole year.  Every day and every year, my life changes so much for a true resolution.  So, this year like many others, I resolve to not make a resolution.  Especially this year!  If I learned nothing else from 2012, I learned to live in the moment and go with it.  Tomorrow will be a new day.  And, the best moments are spent with those that you love.

I decided to set some personal goals....that can change as need be.

First one....more dates with Chris.  We have a great time together and never seem to spend time with just the two of us.  This past year our time together was always focused on our children or work, so in 2013, I want to enjoy each other.  Even if we end up talking about the kids or work over dinner.

Second one....more fun family time.  2012 revolved around too many hospital beds for the mom and baby brother.  So, 2013 needs to focus on fun times.  Mackenzie and Carson deserve our focus.  And, they are gonna get fun times.  I hope for one fun family night each month.  And, with this goal, I wanna focus on each child more.  I want Mackenzie and Carson to realize how important they are as individuals to our family.  I will be writing letters to them soon.  All three of my babies will get mommy notes.  I will write a disclaimer on Will's.

Third one....more time at home.  Last year was such a blur that I wanna focus on getting my house back.  We have never completed so many things because Chris worked out of town or I have been pregnant and puking.  And, yes, for me, they go hand in hand pregnant and puking.  So, I want to organize like crazy. Many may forget that there is definitely some OCD in me.  After all, my closet is color coded and organized by long and short sleeve shirts, etc.  So, watch out 841 S. Poplar.....I'm back!

Fourth one....more time for church.  Our Grace Community Fellowship family is amazing.  They have shown us so much love and provided a home for worship in recent years.  I have always been active in the church, but this year I wanna do more.  So, youth group and teen girls, watch out.  Here come the Cunninghams.
