And so it begins...

It has been 2010 for almost a week and I thought I would create my official "New Year's Resolution". I know it is so cliche, but I don't care. I see it as creating realistic and obtainable goals for myself and publishing them puts the pressure on so that I will be more motivated.

This year I would like to...

1. Drink more water: I want to keep my body healthy, and I have never been one to drink nearly enough water. I figure I owe it to my body to drink up!

2. Love: I want to put in more effort to show love and give more love to others. Love makes the world go 'round. I want to focus more on the good side of people and attempt to bring joy to some people's lives. I also want to show more appreciation to all those special people in my life.

3. Get married: Mark, what do you think? I say, why not! Are you free August 7?

4. Spend less: This one I am stealing from bosom friend, Jenelle. I think spending less and saving more is a FANTASTIC plan.

5. Play the guitar: I have a bea-u-teeee-ful guitar sitting in my room begging to be played. I got it for my birthday almost 2 years ago. I was dedicated for the first few months, but life happened and school happened, so I put her down. I think Mark, Jon and my dad would all be supportive of this goal. With my school schedule as crazy as it is, I believe I will have to wait until April to get serious about this...but hey, it's on the list!

6. Buy a camera: I have been wanting a digital SLR camera for eons and I am so antsy to buy one. Mark encouraged me to wait until we have some sort of money flow... this is never going to happen, so after we get married I plan on buying one.. don't tell him!

7. Exercise: I want to continue my healthy eating and exercise regime so I can finally put on the two bikinis I own that sit on my dresser as motivation.

I think that list will keep my busy enough.
