Goals NOT Resolutions

I asked Laura if she wanted to a blog on "New Years" Resolutions.  She was really opposed to the word "Resolutions".  She suggested the word Goals and thought to myself that this was the same thing  thought this was a great substitute word  for resolutions.

It is said that you don't have a real goal till it is written down.  So I am now officially writing my goals down.

Here are Mary's Resolutions Goals for 2012:

1.  Continue to read scriptures every morning...finish the Doctrine & Covenants
2.  Continue to work out 3 times a week ie biking, running or gym
3.  Run at least 3-5K's this next year
4.  Make 1 new meal every month
5.  Make homemade bread (and master it)-please pray for me on this one
6.  Have more patience with my daughter
7.  Save $10 every 2 weeks-just to learn how to save and then spend it on something for myself or someone else at the end of the year
8.  Go to the temple at least 1 time every 3 months
9.  Read 1 Jane Austin book all the way through
10. Don't be so hard on myself about the things I didn't do


 Laura's Goals 2012
1. Catch up on my photo album
2. Work out 3 days a week and win Ken in our competition.  
3. I hate weight lose resolutions so I refuse to make one.

Couple Goal-
-We set a goal to go to the Temple more this year.

Family Goal-
Ask the family what are goal should be.
Faith said "Pick up litter"
Drew said "Be kind to one another"
Me and Ken came up with "Keep on, keeping on" Thats as good as it gets at our house.
