New Year's Resolutions

I have been trying to come up with some resolutions that will actually be realistic for this next year. It's a lot harder than it sounds. I have tried to narrow it down to a few that I think that I will actually be able to meet. Brett is taking a few categories (spiritual, temporal, physical) and making a goal for each. I'm trying to follow his example.

1. Personal daily scripture study: I am generally much better about praying than reading my scriptures. Honestly, I just forget and then kick myself once I'm already in bed. I am going to make a serious effort to make sure and study every day.
2. More exercise: I am really bad when it comes to exercise in general. Especially now that I have to work around Kennedy's schedule, and in some cases need to get a babysitter. I am a little bit (although not much) more disciplined about what I eat, so I think the physical exercise will help to make me healthier. I don't really have a specific goal here except to do more.
3. Have a more organized apartment: I am not the best about throwing things away or keeping clothes off of the floor. Our pantry isn't always completely up to date either. My goal is to organize the apartment (with Brett's help of course), and I mean the whole thing, and keep it that way 95% of the time (I have to give myself some leeway).

I think those are worthy goals. And I think that I will be able to meet them. It may take some time, but I am going to work on it. Last night we stayed home and had a great meal with a HoneyBaked ham, cheddar and bacon mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, panna cotta with blackberries, and of course, sparkling cider. Four of us stayed up until midnight and then we all had biscuits and gravy this morning. So Happy New Year to everyone! I hope that it is better than 2008 for all of you!
