Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's perspective, maybe it's an aging memory, or maybe it's just the half bottle of Prosecco I put away for breakfast, but I can't seem to remember one really bad thing about 2012. Even the trials and difficulties all lead - or are leading, we're sure - to something bigger and better. Jean and I had a wonderful 2012 full of fun, laughter, and accomplishments, and are looking forward to an even more joyful and fulfilling 2013.
Remember our Resolutions & Goals posts back in the beginning of 2012, outlining our New Years Resolutions? Here (and below; in photos) is a look back at just how we did:
Buy a homeMove to my parents' town- Conceive our first child
- Scrapbook our wedding
Scrapbook our honeymoon- Learn to crochet
Learn to knit socks
In like fashion, we've come up with just a few new goals and resolutions for the coming year (in addition to carrying over incomplete goals from 2012):
- Speak with gentleness, both in voice and content (both)
- Start - and get up to date on - our Christmas/New Years scrapbook album (M)
- Consistently, successfully roast a whole chicken (M)
- Go hiking at least 1x/month (both)
- Pursue leadership/reading/solo choir opportunities at church (J)
- Study Proverbs (both)
- Finish basement living area (J)
Do any of you make New Years Resolutions? What are they? Any tricks for keeping them?
Happy New Year!
