New Years Resolutions

1. Blogging. because I said I would keep up with this blog (which I haven't) and also because I have too many Noah stories I'm afraid I will forget if I don't write them down somewhere.

2. Loosing the rest of my baby weight. I don't think this one needs an explanation. If you disagree, you can just come and look at all my old clothes that are sitting in my closet giving me dirty looks every day. I'm ready to be friends again with all the pairs of jeans sitting in my dresser.

3. Finishing a book... any book. Well, maybe not ANY book. Just one that doesn't have cardboard pages, or pictures on every page. I have so many books next to my bed that I start and only get halfway through becasue I get excited about another book. Then I do the same with the new book where I only get halfway through... and the viscous cycle starts again.

4. Getting back into reading my one year Bible, and being diligent to read it EVERY day. I have started this, and I love it. I look forward to it everyday. After Noah wakes up from his afternoon nap, I bring him into the master bedroom and we lay on the bed as I read it out loud. It may sound weird to you, but people say that it's never to early to read to your baby. And, I feel like I remember what I read better if I read it aloud. Noah has been interrupting me alot by talking over me. But I'm sure what he has to say is VERY important and that it can't wait, I'm also sure that he wouldn't understand a lesson on manners just yet... so we can cover that later. Besides... have you seen my little dude? Any interruption from him is more like a party than a nuisance.

5. Being more domestic. I want to use my bread maker more often than I do, try new recipes, and get better at sewing.

These are big goals... but I'm ready for a challenge! Bring it on 2010.
