A Brand New Year

I rarely make resolutions, because I don't follow through with them, but then I thought maybe I should at least think of some goals that I have. I need something to work toward.

1. Save more money and not waste it on piddly things that I don't need. I'm pretty good at telling myself no, but occasionally I buy stuff and wonder why later.

2. Save money by cutting back on fast food. That is a money sucker around here. We're both fast food addicts and even with a budget, that's the one we consistently blow each month. I think I'm going to start a cash envelope for that. I'll take the money out at the beginning of the month and once it's gone, it's gone.

3. Work on reading my Bible more consistently and growing closer to God again. It's been far too long since I've had the relationship I want. I struggle a lot in believing. I do believe...I just question a lot of things and I should probably learn to let some of that go. It's just hard sometimes. I want to be a good example for Daniel.

4. Be an even better wife and mom. I feel pretty good about my mommy skills, but I know there's always room for improvement. I KNOW I need to work on being a better wife. I want Jacob to never doubt how much I love and care for him.

5. Buy gifts through out the year so I am not stressing at Christmas time!

I know I have more, but these seem good for now. :)
