Resolutions


From our Valentine's Weekend date at the Melting Pot.
I know it's February, but someone said sometime that a goal isn't a goal until you write it down.  Well, we wrote down our resolutions but I thought I'd write it down on here so that we could be more accountable for them.  So may I present to you: The Creer Family 2013 Resolutions! aka

Making 2013 Epic!
Fortune cookies never lie.  I guess we need to do some investigating!
  • Save money.  Don't worry, we have a goal amount we want to get to.  But I'm not putting it down here.  Cuz I would feel weird.
  • Lose 50 lbs.  So far we suck at this.  We are both fat.  And could both lose 50 pounds.  We need to get busy on this one but it keeps getting hard to do when we are trying to get pregnant, then got pregnant, then weren't pregnant again.  Too many changes!  Only 10 months left to go! 5 pounds a month is totally doable.
  • Dustin pass all his classes. So far, so good.
  • Brianne read 2 books.  I enjoy reading but NEVER read anymore.  Hooray for Taking a Night Off so I can read a book!  I can't believe that I set such a low goal for how many books to read.  So we're going to change it to read a book each quarter. Sound good? 
  • Daily scripture reading.  We are working on this.  Still not great at it.  But working on it.
  • Make new friends/Hang out with our current friends.  We need some good friends.  And some of our friends here will only be here for a little while.  Couples need couples.  How I Met Your Mother was so true about that.
  • Brianne finish 2 quilts.  Again, why such a low number?  I've changed it to piece a quilt a quarter and finish 2 quilts for the year.  That sounds better, right?  I still am loving quilting and feel like I'm getting so much better at it.
  • Dustin find a new hobby.  Still working on this.  But he did start playing church basketball this week.  That's a hobby, right?
  • Go on a vacation.  We have lots of possibilities we've been contemplating.  There's the possibility of Washington DC over the 4th of July, San Francisco and the Redwoods, an Alaskan cruise (that's dreaming big), or of course there's always Utah. Which isn't a real vacation so we need something other than that.  Any other thoughts for us?  
 And that's all we got!  I feel like we've made decent progress considering it's only the 2nd month!  Despite the craziness, this year will be epic.

I love the goals, even if they aren't insanely high numbers. We kind of set resolutions but they are always the same and we continually struggle:) I vote vacation to DC!!!!!!!! Of course, I'm a little biased because we'd love to see you guys;)
