Rainy Day and the Blue Boat

I need to take time to stop and float a homemade paper boat down the gutter after a rain storm.  Sometimes I feel like I am a walking stress case and my boys help keep my perspective on what REALLY is important.  I love my boys- the big one and the two little ones.   Thank you for loving me.

Good bye stupid 2011. Hello 2012.

Basically, 2011 was not my favorite year.  Glad to see it go and I am HAPPY to welcome a new beginning.  I am going to take 2012 and make it MY YEAR to make some needed changes.  If I blog about them, then I will be more likely to keep my goals, right.  Accountability, right?  
  1. Physically
I have started running.  Yes.  Do I love it?  Not really, but I don't hate it.  I am slowing increasing my distance and speed but the the point is, I am running.  I want to do a 5K in the Spring time and I am freaked out but determined.  I run at night so if you live in the Bountiful area, you might see me huffing and puffing around town.  If ya wanna join me, get your shoes on!  Eat less.  Move more.
  1. Financially
After owning a bazillion LEMONS in the last three years, we have finally worked our way to two great vehicles that will not end up costing us THOUSANDS of dollars in repairs every three months.  Also, changing our budget and making some goals will help us attain our financial goal, hopefully.  Spend less. Make more? 
  1. Emotionally
I am trying to make some personal changes.  Criticize less, love more.   That will save my marriage, my sanity and my other relationships.  Talk less, listen more.  If you have known me for even a second, you know that I talk A LOT and most of the time, I think while I am talking rather than thinking before I talk.  It's a problem I've had for 32 years.  I also have a problem with cussing.  I love to cuss.  Not the BIG cuss words, like, well, you know but I do enjoy a good darn, heck, shiz, biotch, bastage or sometimes azz (I am trying to keep this PG rated).  My goal is to say only two cuss words a day and then I will progress to one, then none.  Wish me luck! 
  1. Spiritually 
Jared and I have not been so great at saying prayers together as a couple.  We do really well to say family prayers but we lack in the couple prayer area.  We are also going to rededicate ourselves to FHE and temple attendance.  I love my husband and I want to be with him forever, even on the bad days and I know that working on these spiritual goals will remind me of the "big picture" and I will stop sweating the small stuff.
