New Year's Resolutions

As I reflected on this year, we have had ups and downs. I have learned about God's humor, God's sovereignty, God's forgiveness, and God's love for me.  Who would have ever thought that the couple that struggled to get pregnant for years would have their second child the first time they tried?! However, that child has taught me more than I can even express in words. God also used a terrible mistake to renew and strengthen my marriage. I never thought I could make it through something like that! Being a parent and attending NewSpring Church, has taught me so much about God's love. I cannot wait to see what 2014 has in store. These are few ideas that I have for the upcoming year:

1. Be a better momma.  I want to put the iPhone down and spend more time with my babies. They're growing so quickly, and I don't want to miss a thing! I want to give them a pure and memorable childhood.

2. Get out of debt. Jordan and I have buckled down and have been working hard to pay off all of our bad choices. We WILL be out of debt this year!

3. Sell our house and buy a new home. This small house has been a nice place to live for the past five years, but we need a place to make a home for our babies. I want a house that the babes can play outside without me worrying about them being hit by a speeding car. I want a house with a play room, so I don't have to look at toys all the time. I want a house with a dining room so I can have my entire family over and we don't have to sit all over the house. I want a house to make memories in.

4. Exercise. I know that's so cliche', but I want to do yoga or barre. I want to get my pre-Maggie body back! And I've heard that exercise helps with stress! ;)

5. Journal. I need to keep up with life better.  I want to journal or blog more than I have. Time is flying by and so many memories are being made, but I forget them! Too many great things are happening for me to forget!

6. Study the Bible. I NEED this in my life. I always say I'm too busy, but how terrible is that! I cannot be too busy to learn about and grow closer to my Savior! I MUST make time!
