goals...

goals??? ugh...

this look pretty much sums up how i have felt about goals in the past!

i never set resolutions at the start of the year, because more than likely i am not going to follow through with them. there are things i would like to do this year, but every time i set a goal for myself, i get lazy and fail. but, i am done with the laziness. it is affecting every aspect of my life, and i am tired of it.

so, a few goals for 2011...

lose 14-19 pounds (14 i would be happy, and 19 i would be thrilled:) )

run the okc memorial 5k

drastically lower our debt, including vehicles

grow my relationship with Jesus

open up and really have relationships with new girlfriends

the first 2 i have already started on, and even though it's only been one day, i feel ready for this challenge. last year i had decided to run the same 5k, and it came and went without me even thinking about it, and then i was kicking myself for not doing it. so, this year it is happening, and i am running the entire thing. honestly, shouldn't be that hard! and losing weight isn't an option because i REFUSE to buy bigger pants, and i am going to need them soon!!!

cody and i already have a spreadsheet with a plan for our finances, but we were thrown a couple of curve balls (of course, never fails), so this week we are reworking our plan. we don't have much debt, but it's enough to me be tired of looking at every month, so we are getting serious and paying it off. not setting a date for this one...again, curve balls!

i would like to read through my bible this year, and really start praying, and listening to what God has in store for my life. i have been getting up an hour early every morning for about 3 months now and having a quiet time, and i really have gotten to where i need it now. it starts my day off right, and i really enjoy the quiet of the morning before anyone else is up and needing my attention!

i have a really hard time with having relationships with other women. why is this so hard for women once we get older? the few close friends i do have either don't live close by, or everyone just seems too busy. i have made a couple of new really wonderful friends and am going to work hard at growing relationships with them. having girl time is important, and i haven't allowed myself enough of it lately. it's time to change that!

ok, sorry for the boring post, but i wanted to get some goals in writing, and hopefully i will follow through :)

there will be a whole other post about christmas and lots of hannah pics soon!

happy new year!
