New Year

I haven’t posted in forever. It was a little difficult going without internet for so long.

And now that it has been so long, I have less to say. But, I figure since I enjoy reading other people’s posts so much–I should return to the land of Blog and speak up!

During the break, I spent time with family and friends. I didn’t get to see everyone because Utah is incredibly cold and snowy. But I appreciated the moments where I was able to visit with people–and I wish I had more time with everyone.

While I was gone, my roommate met and fell in love with a guy. Crazy! They’re getting married. I am so happy for her. I’m really happy for her. And I’m happy about what it says for me. I’m as single as they come–but who knows when something crazy will come along and change everything.

Meanwhile, career stuff is going well. I need to be better at keeping track of everything so that I can utilize these opportunities. I am feeling confident and successful in my field. Life is good, and for the first time in my life, I’m incredibly content with who I am and what I am doing.

But, there are always things to improve–so here are a list of New Years Resolutions!

1) Go to a concert or a play once a month.

This shouldn’t be a resolution–but I find that I never make time to go to things anymore. This will change!

2) Read two chapters from the scriptures everyday.

I don’t necessarily want to study–I want the consistency. I want to fall into the habit of opening the scriptures everyday for a set amount of time. I don’t need to delve, just swim.

3) Get 3 months ahead on bills.

I think if I put away a big chunk of money into savings for a bit–I can do this. I want to pay my bills from my savings. And then use the money that comes in to pay off excess debts. It’s a new way of approaching money for me–and it might not work–but I’m sick of living hand to mouth. I would rather live hand to account to mouth. tee hee.

4) Make my bed 3 times a week.

There’s something about making my bed that makes me feel a little more in control of things–but I NEVER make my bed, so this will be a start!

5) Call family members more often.

I can’t describe how wonderful it was to spend time with family this past month. I truly love them.

6) Go to the temple at least once a month.

I gathered a bunch of family names–and I am going to make a real effort to get to the temple as often as possible.

7) Perform service everyday.

I want to do something for a friend, stranger–whether it’s small or big. Doesn’t matter–just something–everyday.

8) Get to the gym 4 times a week.

Nuff said.

9) Only eat out 2 times a week.

Saving the money!

10) Get to bed before midnight.

Not tonight–but tomorrow!

Well, this is the start. I think 2009 is going to a wonderful year!

Happy New Year everybody!
