Happy New Year!

We spent New Years Eve (and day) with our friends Tommy and Amy and their 7 month old, LT. We had a great time hanging out, playing games and getting to know the little guy. He's so awesome! Big Tommy even helped Ryan take down our Christmas tree on New Years Day so I didn't have to. Thanks Tommy! It was great to see you guys!

My friend Leah and Ryan's brother Rory inspired me to think about the things I want to accomplish throughout the next year. No losing weight this year! But here is my top ten list of things I plan to work toward for the next 12 months:

Top 10 New Years Resolutions

10. Spend less time on the computer
9. Gain more confidence in the kitchen
8. Lead a more healthy lifestyle (healthy diet, exercise and sleep more than 6 hours every night)
7. Keep plants alive (when I buy new ones in the spring...cause all mine are dead...again!)
6. Spend less money on things I don't really need
5. "If I can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"
4. Get organized
3. Be more patient
2. Attend church more regularly (with purpose)
1. Volunteer at least once a month

I hope everyone has a wonderful year ahead! Happy New Year!
