A NEW YEAR A NEW ME!!!

2012 brings much excitement and new experiences and I want to make the best of it. A whole year of not working to care for my Macie can bring on a whole year of doing nothing and being lazy, or doing everything and being amazing.

My 2012 goals:

Spiritual- read the whole Ensign every month

Physical- run a half marathon and a tri-athalon

Mental- read 6 books this year, with 3 of them being church books and one parenting book

Health- eat 8 servings of fruits and veggies daily and drink 8 cups of water

Financial- save enough money to pay of our truck by the end of the year

a couple extras:

-nurture Macie in the Spiritual, mental, Physical and Health.
-study the Book of Mormon with Mark and prepare for the Sunday school lesson by reading in the study book at night.
-Save for a 3 week summer vacation (can't wait)
-learn a bunch of crock pot meals and freezer meals

MY FIRST 20 MINUTES!!

Last night I decided it was my turn to take the puppies for a walk, it was so gorgeous outside and I needed the fresh air and moment for myself. And what do you think I thought about that whole entire 20 minutes, Macie of course. I think there was one moment that I didn't when I was dreaming about running instead of walking. This little girl of mine is on my mind pretty much 24/7. Motherly instincts really do kick in. At night time the smallest noise out of her wakes me up, when she is sleeping during the day I always feel the urge to go check on her and make sure she is okay, and I do about two times each nap. When others are holding her I have a hard time not watching them like a hawk to make sure they don't drop her and her cry breaks my heart if I can't mend it right away.


Her first Sunday outfit, and yes the thumb has already meet the mouth.
