New Years Resolutions

This is a blog I try to write every year. Sometimes I accomplish my goals, sometimes I don't. Last year I was pretty over zealous about my goals and I don't think I was being very realistic thinking about the crazy year I was about to have in becoming a parent and taking care of a baby. 

I'm proud of this year though. I'm one week out from accomplishing my goal of breast feeding for 12 months. My daughter is happy and healthy. My marriage, despite the stress a new baby can bring, and being separated the last four months, is better than ever. I feel like if that's what I've got to show for the last 12 months then I've got my priorities right where I want them to be. 

I try to exercise when I can and take care of myself too. It's harder than I thought it would be when my mind is constantly only my daughter and my husbands needs and wants. 

This year, I want to continue doing these things. I want to document our life a bit better though. More pictures and videos. 

I also want to organize better. I have big plans for this when we get back to Texas and I hope that I can make the big jump to get us started and make it something we can easily maintain. I want to cook more. Better. 

I realize these goals sound pretty domestic and stereotypical. But this is what I want. This is the life we wanted to build and I want it to be the best it can be. We know what we want our family life to be like and we are ready to accept the challenges that come with it. Less social media time, more actual face time. I want to try to get back to the basics and never have to wish I spent more time with my family. No regrets. That's the ultimate goal I guess...for us all. 

So here's to another new year. It will be the best one yet!
