I've lost a lot this year. 2011 was not as kind as I had hoped.
I moved out of my parents house.
I developed a new hobby.
I got a part time job.
I quit said part time job.
I mourned the loss of grandpa Jim, the closest to a grandpa I'll ever get.
I got in a car accident and sent someone to the ER.
I had to put my friend of 8 years to sleep. (the absolute worst.)
And yet, we have been happy. Busy, endlessly working to better ourselves and happy.
Today is our 2nd anniversary. I confess I wish it would have been easier. But I wouldn't trade all our difficulties for a the life I led before.
We have enjoyed great spiritual and mental growth. We've learned what we want to do with our lives and we're on our way to getting there.
I am presently coming to terms with the fact that I have to actively make the right choices this year. I don't want another year of unhappiness and negativity. So here is my list:
Get a puppy/dog.
Work out and figure out a diet that works with my body.
Lose 50lbs. Yeah. Or at the very least, be able to fit into all the clothes I wore when I married Zach.
Get a new job.
Create more things.
Be a better spouse. More understanding, less critical.
Spend more time with my family.
Learn how to play a song on some type of instrument.
Keep the house in a moderate state of cleanliness 90% of the time.
Save up a financial emergency fund of 1000$ so that when we blow a tire or get sick, we don't break the bank.
Go to the temple and get sealed to Zach.
Becoming more spiritually in tune.
Pray regularly.
write in my journal regularly.
Read more books.
Possibly get pregnant.
Hopefully start a business with Zach.
Have two cars in solid working conditions.
Aaaaaand, that's about it.
