New Year's Resolutions

i don't believe in them. i've never kept them. but i am trying to be a little more goal-oriented (this is not one of my strong characteristic traits) this year. here are some i've come up with so far this year.

1 being intentional- i haven't quite figured out how to put this into other words, but i am pretty sure it means being sure i'm on the same page with God and taking advantage of the teachable moments with the kids

2 exercising-does this not make it onto everyone's list every year? but i'm serious. i've got the gear (thanks mom and dad) and i've tried out the path twice in a week's time, once during the day and once at night. it's well-populated, well-lit and there are crosswalks. i'm safe (that's for JP in Lubbock)

3 spending more time with Simona- this girl needs a friend

4 family nights- one every other week at each house=good times of bonding and teaching

5 blogging-now i'm not making promises of posting daily because i'm just not that ambitious, but more often. i hear that even though few people post comments, many people are reading about what's going on, so i'll try to be faithful to my fans (just kidding about that part, i really don't think that highly of myself).
