January 7th already??

I cannot believe it is already the 2nd week of January. I've been having so much fun reading about all your holiday adventures and new year's resolutions, I completely forgot to post my own!

I have been working on a couple of 2008 calendars (in Photoshop, of course!) for my sisters-in-law, who saw one that I made for my mother-in-law for Christmas. They both immediately requested one of their own. I FINALLY finished YESTERDAY. So I'm glad about that!

Here are a couple of my NYR's:

#1: Spend more quality time with my husband. Not that we don't spend a lot of time together already, but since I travel so much for my job, I feel like we are watching a lot of TV and movies, and not really much else. So we'll try and change that. :)

#2: Keep a journal. OK, so I've probably started a journal 10 times over the course of my life, and I have never kept one longer than 6 months. Most, actually, fizzled after just a few weeks...even days. This time, I am determined. Plus, I have inspiration: Dan's missionary journals! We dug these out when we were in Salt Lake for Christmas, and I started to read them on our drive back home. I figure, if he could do it, I can do it! Even if my life is boring, my goal is to write *something* every day. So far, I'm at 100%. :)

#3: Read the Bible. I got a link to Read the Scriptures in my email a while ago, and finally decided to put it to the test. You can make a goal of which book of scripture you want to read, and the date you want to finish it, and then they email you your assignment every day. Sounds like a plan, right? My first goal: the OLD TESTAMENT -- to be completed by July 1st. That is 172 verses per day, in case you're wondering. Once again, I am at 100% on this goal, so far. Wish me luck!!

Well, that's about all for now. More fun stuff to come, though, so keep checking back!! Happy 2008!

Alee, Well, I didn't save the calendar pages. I just printed them as I finished them. I'll take some pictures and post them, how's that? I should figure out a way to post my LOs like you have them on your blog. :) Thanks for the comment!

Happy New Year!! You have some wonderful goals for the new year - all of which it looks like we share (although I don't think I'll tackle the OT ... something easier)!! BTW - you are already doing a GREAT job on keeping a journal ... your blog looks fantastic! Love the new look :) I am in the process of copying and pasting all of mine into word so I can put them in a binder for a "hard copy." Good luck to you on your goals!
