New Year's Resolutions
Ring out the old, ring in the
new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850

Another year over, and
a new one just begun… 2012 was an
exciting year for me and Jaycob!
It was our first full year in Santa Fe, and we’re enjoying our new home
here more and more now that we have a great group of friends, many favorite
restaurants and hang-out spots, and greater familiarity with the hiking trails. We celebrated several friends’ weddings
this year, and welcomed a few new babies into the world (with more to come in
2013!). We enjoyed vacations and
visits to New Orleans, Denver, Minneapolis, Aspen, Chicago, Bloomington, Boca
Raton, Virginia Beach and Miami, and we were excited to have some of our
friends and family members come visit us in the southwest. We went to Balloon Fiesta (twice), took
a ride in a hot air balloon, rode horses, explored Spanish market, stayed at
Loretto Inn and Spa… and got engaged!
It was a busy and fun year and I look forward to 2013 being even more
amazing.
I slacked on most
of my New Years Resolutions in 2012, but I did achieve my goals of
cooking/baking at least one new recipe every week (I made 66!) and keeping up
with my blog. Here are some of the
things I hope to accomplish in 2013…
Fitness Goals:
o To focus more on core strengthening to
prevent injury, and do a minimum of 25 minutes of ab work per week
o To hike Spirit Lake, Wheeler Peak, and Lake
Katherine trails
o Practice yoga at least once a week
o Start running consistently again
Relationship Goals:
o For Jaycob and I to grow stronger in our
relationship as we plan our wedding and complete our marriage preparation
classes
o To speak positively about others
o To maintain regular communication with the
people who are important to me
Financial Goals:
o Save $5,000
o Pay off credit cards
Community Goals:
o To volunteer at 1-2 nonprofit organizations
o To become actively involved in my new church
parish in Santa Fe
Personal Goals:
o To not feel obligated to say yes to
everything that others ask me to do
o To set aside more time for myself and avoid becoming
overcommitted
o To stay CALM and SANE during wedding
planning
I finally just read this. YOU CAN DO THEM ALL!
