Here are the things I am working on for the New Year!
1. (This one is easy!) I want to become a better Christian. We have struggled to find a church family in our city, and my goal is to let God show us the right church and become a part of that community. I also want to participate in a Bible study this year and maintain a strong daily practice that brings me closer to God.
2. I want to become a better wife and mom. My husband is the greatest man on Earth and I want to be the best possible companion for him. And my husband’s happiness level is pretty easy to predict: (generally) if I am happy, he is happy. So half of my challenge is remaining positive and thankful during trying times, because it would have a huge effect on him. I also want to eradicate the “scoreboard” in my mind over who has done what and how often:)
This year I want to devote more time to teaching Jackson, getting him around other kids and being “more present” with him when we are together
3. I want this pregnancy to be super healthy. With my first son, Jackson, my pregnancy was overall pretty healthy, but I was working a lot (teaching Kindergarten) and too frequently eating candy and treats. Since I am a SAHM, choosing healthier options and exercising several days a week should be easier for me to swing. I want to feel like I did the best that I could when we go to the hospital to deliver.
I know the second line is faint, but a blood test confirmed it:)
4. I want to think bigger and more positively this year. I have been monitoring a lot of my “self talk” over the past few weeks and I want to change any negative tendencies and thoughts. If you know me IRL, you might be puzzled because I am a bright and cheery person, but I would like to further refine my thoughts and eliminate limitations.
5. I want to be a better friend. Since my husband is in the Army, we have moved around quite a bit over the last few years. It has been difficult for me to maintain the same closeness with friends who are hundreds of miles away. But seriously, with cell phones, the internet, Facebook, Twitter, connecting with other on a regular basis should not be a problem!! I could be better. I will be better this year!
How about you?! What would you like to change in this electric new year?

I agree with your resolutions… many of them are the exact same ones I have! Also, we go to Manna Church. I don’t know if you’ve been there but we love it. It’s big, but we come from a large church family back home so it feels like home. I also go to a Mommies group once a week (Tues @ 10) through the church. It is my lifeline! I love having Jax around other kids and connecting with other Christian mommies. You should come check it out!
