New Year's Resolutions....

I have many hopes and dreams for this year and it will be a milestone in many ways :) These are my goals, in no particular order I might add.


1. Get Fit!! Who doesn't make this goal every year. I think everyone does even if they don't want to admit it.

2. Be more of an outdoor photographer. I am always taking pictures of people. I love it. But, I want to try and take trips/drives up into the beautiful scenery around us and take some pictures of what is around us more :)

3. Paint our walls. I have wanted to put a stain rub on our walls in our living room/dining room/kitchen since we got married. I'm hoping to do that in the next few months. I have also wanted to puts some color on the walls of some of the bedrooms as well.

4. Read more books. This I will be able to accomplish more thanks to my loving husband. One of my Christmas presents from him was a Kindle. I love it!

5. Turning 30 in style. I have been dreading this birthday since I turned 25. I am going to try and not make it as miserable as I have made it out to be in my mind.

6. I am going to try and do a scrapbook or 2 this year and actually finish the whole thing.

7. Plant a garden. We were fortunate enough this summer to enjoy the fruits of my father-in-laws amazing garden and it was delicious!!! I want to have a garden in my backyard this year. It won't be nearly as spectacular as his but hopefully it will produce something at least.

8. Blog more. I know I'm a slacker. But I want to do better. Hopefully I will.

9. Learn to cook a new recipe a week. I love the gift my sister-in-law Stacey gave us for our wedding I need to renew the subscription to Food Network Magazine. I made some "Twiced Backed Potatoes" that are so yummy and I found the recipe in this magazine.

10. Start up on my drawing again. I haven't really done this for years. But I have missed it.

11. Deep clean my house, carpets, tile, walls, bathrooms. All the nooks and crannies. I clean every day/week but not deeply so I want to do this monthly.

12. more to come.....

Have a fabulous freezing Sunday!!!


Happy 2011!!!!!!
