Here goes nothing!

This year I am getting a little bit of a late start. Only about a week but I have big plans for this year.  Here are my "New Years Resolutions" except I am not crazy about calling them that. I feel like that just means they are short term. So I will call them- "life changes".

1. Start and Keep up a blog- In this blog I will talk about our daily lives, I will keep track of workouts and home projects, funny things my sweet 2 year old Ellie does and all the new things she learns. All our travels and fun things we do with family and friends. Our life as an Army family and all that means and you may even get a few of my opinions on various things that come along.

2. Run a 5K and a 10K- I am starting Monday on Training for a 5k at the end of February- I will admit that I hate to work out and that I will not work out unless I am working toward something such as a 5K. Honestly it is the fear of making a fool out of myself in front of all those people that keeps me motivated. HAHA I know crazy isn't it.  My sweet husband is making me a training schedule. He is very athletic and works out all the time. He is great at building workout schedules, I am excited to see what he has in store for me.

3. I got this idea from a friends blog- 21 days to get organized Challenge- I will be following her blog and attempting to organize my house as well. I will be honest with you and myself it will probably take more than 21 days. :) I plan to get started next week. Here is the link-

4. Continue to paint and photograph and maybe grow my collection enough to sell them- this one is just a goal for the year. I haven't worked out the details yet.

5. Get up before Ellie and have a quiet time in the mornings; spending sometime in the word of God.

Here are my goals for the year. Of course I want to continue to teach my baby as many things as possible and spend as much time as possible with friends and family.

I hope I can keep this up and make these "life changes". Hopefully this blog will help me keep track of all our daily activities and if I am reaching my goals.
