Happy New Year

At this time of year it seems as if everyone is thinking of what they are leaving behind in 2009 and what they hope to accomplish in 2010. I am no different, I know that 2009 was the last year I got with my grad father Papa Joe, we lost friends, our friends lost babies, and overall we just did not have the best year. I realize that my family is not above suffering, but sometimes you are ready for a new beginning. I feel like 2010 is my family's new beginning and I am excited for the clock to roll around to midnight. My wonderful husband has to work tonight so chances are I will go to sleep long before the clock strikes 12 (and chances are my husband wont get to sleep at all, because new years eve is job security for a fire fighter..) I thought that I would share a few of my new years resolutions for 2010.

1. This one is always the same be a better wife and mother. I want to be a more patient mother this coming year and spend more time in scripture with my children. I want to be a better supporter of my husband this year and not take everything out on him. My husband deserves praise and not nagging.

2. I want to get back in church consistently, join a small group and get involved.

3. I want to be a better Christian. I want to spend more time in his word, and make sure that I spend quiet time with him every morning before my house turns to chaos.

4. I want to spend my year volunteering and serving. I need to set a better example to my children to be better servants to the Lord. With this also comes random acts of kindness I want to make sure I do a better job with this in the upcoming year.

5. I want to keep my home clean, organized and always ready for someone to stop by.

6. Start and complete project 365. I think this will be an awesome way to remember how our family spent the year.


What are your goals for 2010?
