2012 will be here before we know it. I've made some New Year Resolutions - an act which I think is becoming more of a stereotypical cliche than long-term goal to attain. However, I've sat down and written a few ideas out just-the-same. I don't like setting myself up for failure by setting unattainable or unmeasurable goals. For example: "To become a better person"is an unmeasurable goal. My goal "To become a Big Sister" is measurable, attainable, and specifically fits my plan to...(drum roll, please)... be a better person. I hope that makes sense. Anyhow, here's the list (in no particular order):
1. Become a Big Sister
2. Improve my Sewing Skills
3. Grow a Vegetable Garden
4. Make a monthly donation to Sandy in Romania
5. Host at least 4 brunch/dinner gatherings
That's all I've got, but here is what each represents:
1. (Strengthen my Character)
2. (Challenge Myself)
3. (Build Self-Sufficiency)
4. (Give to the Lord's Work)
5. (Become more Social)
The year 2011 wasn't all the bad to us. A few of our highlights include:
1. Katelyn Rene
2. Having Emilia till June
3. Meeting Maria, Donna, Trevor - and several other people from other countries
4. Two Amazing vacations together - Orlando, New Orleans
5. Chris went to Germany - Lara went to Tennessee with mom and dad to see family
6. Colts games
7. Meeting Nicholas Sparks (lara) Josh Turner (Chris)
8. Learning lacrosse and canning
9. Two new cars
10. More than 10 billion smiles and laughs!
It was good to know 2011, but here's to 2012! *Raise Glass*
