2013 will be a very different year from anything we have experienced so far in our life together. This is the year we become parents. So, keeping that in mind, I've picked some goals for myself and our family to achieve.
First of all, I want to get our daughter here safe and sound. Whatever's necessary to make that happen.
As a mother, I would like to make it my goal to try to breast feed for 12 mos. it's something I've been looking forward to since the first time I learned I was pregnant and I hope this is an attainable goal.
As a family, we are getting very close to paying off my car ( less than 1k owed!) and the sooner we pay it off the sooner we can add more to our savings each month. Hopefully this goal will be reached within six months!
For myself, I would like to do the following:
-complete 3 mos worth of my new workout (yay Jillian Michaels!)
-finally achieve my goal of completing a 5k on April 20
-complete the rest of my fitness bucket list (including getting back to my pre-prego self)
-complete a project with my sewing machine.
-come up with my very own cupcake recipe.
Also, as a family, we will have another deployment coming this year. These are unavoidable and dreaded, but my goal is to get ourselves and our daughter through it unscathed. I'm not too worried about it but I can't say I'm looking forward to it either. Thank god for supportive family and friends nearby. The holidays won't be easy on us next year.
These seem like a lot of goals and quite a variety. But for some reason, I think they are all very realistic and attainable. I just have this feeling that our family will kick 2013s ass and enjoy doing it. So bring it on!
“Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the LORD do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you."
