New Years Goals

I don't normally do New Years resolutions, but this year I have some goals that I would like to accomplish before the end of the year.

• I really want to spend more time alone with God this year. I always get so busy trying to clean, cook dinner, wash clothes, all the necessary things that I don't take any real time with God. Who cares if the house doesn't get clean, who cares if the dishes don't get done that night...it won't matter when I get to Heaven. God could care less what my home looks like, He cares about my heart.

• I really want to get our house organized. Sadly we have never really organized in the 2.5 years we have lived in our house. Last weekend we did clean and organize our storage room so we have started.
  

• I want to get my guest room presentable. It looked nice for a while (I use the term nice loosely though because it was never decorated.) After we got pregnant we turned the office into Jude's room so the guest room became the free for all room. We don't ever have guests that often, but I am tired of constantly tired of shutting that door when guests come over because of how horrible it looks. Honestly if I accomplish my goal of organizing my house then my guest room would naturally stay nice.
  

• I want to get new flooring throughout the house. Our dog has really destroyed the carpet in the guest room so it definitely really needs to be replaced before we could even think about selling. I love the look of hardwoods, but I am afraid my dogs claws would destroy that. We are actually considering to rip out the carpets and stain the concrete. A friend in our church did theres in their home and it looks awesome. He even offered to help!

• I want to lose some weight this year. I know that is so cliche, but it has been 15 months since I had a baby so it is about time I got back into shape. I have started to drink more water to try and cut back on the soda I do drink. What can I say - I love Coke. I do cook dinner about 90% of the time, so fast food isn't an issue and I really don't cook a lot of fattening things, so really I am just lazy. I don't exercise like I should. I need to make some time to go running or walking. I have a desk job so I really should be getting some exercise in.
  

Hopefully I can look back at this in a year and say I have accomplished these things. I am looking forward to great a 2010!! (okay that is still weird to write)

An another note: Roll Tide! Yay for Alabama winning the National Championship. They deserve it.
