2014 is coming early

So we always start thinking about our New Years resolutions around this time. What we need to work on in life, perfect in life, lose in our life and then near the end of December or beginning of January we write them down and start working towards them. Well this year it is going to be different for me. I need to start making some changes in my life right now so right now is when it is going to start, except for my work out goals as I still have a couple more weeks of healing. 

1. The most important goal for me this year is to work at putting away the technology. Really live in the moment and don't let my cell phone get in the way of playing with Macie, snuggling with Wade or spending time with Mark. 
2. Start reading more again. I was getting so good at reading a book a month plus my scriptures and since getting pregnant I have put relaxing in bed watching Netflix above that. 
3. Take more pictures of our family with our good camera and not just the cell phone. It is so much better quality and takes much better pictures, yes it is more annoying to lug around but I will be much happier with the outcome of the pics in the end. As well get professional family pictures taken this year. 
4. My work out goals are huge this year and I am bursting with excitement to get back at working out. It is taking all my will power to not get on the treadmill right now as I am feeling so good and be patient and wait the full 12 weeks. I am without a doubt doing another half marathon this year, actually make that 2. As well an Olympic distance triathlon. I am so pumped and can't wait to start training for them. 
5. To eat clean. I have made huge changes in my eating habits over the past couple of years and I want to up my game this year and perfect them even more. 
And last but not least prepare financially mentally and our home for me to go back to school in September and finish my contact lens course. ( this goal however is still being pondered and prayed about but if when the time comes it still feels right we need to be ready for that so we got to start preparing now)

I am so excited for this new year and watching our family grow. I know it is going to be a great year and I am so excited to make the most of it.
