2008, I will remember:
- Baby Landy, such a joy
- flooding my basement on what was supposed to be an INCREDIBLE birthday (I was, after all, turning 25) It was definitely memorable.
- Saying farewell to yet another brother off to serve the Lord
- Welcoming home Uncle B
- Park City, Park City, Park City (you can't forget it when that's all your daughter talks about)
- Teaching piano lessons (I'm almost becoming a professional.)
- Our 5 year anniversary
- Lots of messes
- Lots of loves
- Lots of baths (mmm, so nice)
- Saying good bye to my kidneys stones and stent (HOORAY!!)
- A blizzardy Christmas
- Home improvement projects (woot! woot! for a cute house)
- Being happy
- 10 inches of beautiful snow in October
- an amazing husband
- my little rockstar
- playing the organ (on very limited knowledge)
- yummy food
- a cancer survivor (best thing that happened all year)
- Best family pictures ever, in the history of family pictures!
- having a boy (by this I mean discovering the joy of Cooper as a two year old)
Dear 2009, I look forward to:
- waking up to a clean house every morning
- no candy and pop (oh, husband and Cooper are in for a doozy!)
- less tv, more family time
- painting my kitchen
- dwindling debt
- spending more time in the scriptures
- Kami going to school (really, not looking forward to this. I would describe the feeling more as dread. Kami, of course is super excited)
- feeling the wind in my hair, and the wild rush of freedom that comes from owning ones own WORKING vehicle. (we're looking for an alternator for a 99 Dodge Status)
- holidays: I plan to be the bees knees of holiday hoopla (love a reason to celebrate)
- Running a 5K (Gasp! Shock! I know. I also know plenty who will laugh at me for such a piddly goal, but running isn't my thing and I think a 5K sounds like a feet of incredible proportions. Sarah is my inspiration.)
- Coley's homecoming
- a bigger garden plot
- A potty trained son (at this rate, it might be Landon before it's Cooper)
- the beach
Love the list. I too am making a list of memories and things to look forward to. I am not calling mine resolutions. I am calling them evolutions. I like to think of it as myself evolving into a better being.
ReplyDeleteI'm especially impressed with the 5K, that's how we all start you know. And I hear you on the potty training - I was just jotting down goals for FHE tonight & that was one I put down for Shelby, "by the END of 2009 Shelby will be potty trained." Do you think I gave myself enough elbow room?!?
