So a blog I frequently read has listed specific topics to blog about each Friday. Since I am just starting to actually blog, this sounded like a perfect idea. Although I don't really make New Years Resolutions, that is todays topic. I have thought about the things I would like to accomplish and get better at in the next year, so here goes in no particular order...

1. Become a teacher. I graduate in May with my Elementary Education degree from NSU, so it will happen. I guess my real goal would be to actually find a job. With all of the budget cuts and freezes this is not looking super promising. But I will try.

2. Be a better friend. I have some awesome friends! However, I feel like the only time I get to see them is on Sundays at church and then Sunday nights for small groups. There are reasons for this since they both have children under the age of 3 and I have been crazy busy with school. But in the next year and coming months I need to make more time to just be with them!

3. Be a better Christian. I don't know exactly what this looks like yet. I know I need to become more regular in spending time with God. And with my new schedule that is happening, and it needs to continue. I think it also includes spending time with God and my husband at the same time... things like praying together and doing some quiet times together. This leads me to the next one...

4. Be a better wife. Since we moved back to Oklahoma our schedules have been crazy... seemingly opposite. But we need to do better at spending time with each other- without the TV on and computers on our laps.

5. Lose 30 pounds. Okay. I don't think I have actually told anyone that one before. The main reason for this is to be at a healthy weight for my height. Also, I know that in the next year or two we will start trying to have kids. I would like to be at a healthy weight before getting pregnant so that I am more likely to stay that way throughout.

I think that covers everything. I guess that wasn't so bad. I might be able to do this blogging thing after all.
