12 Goals for 2012

1.  First and foremost, my goal is to survive the rest of this pregnancy and the transition from one kid to two while I'm finishing up my semester of nursing school. 
2. Last year, especially lately, I was pretty lousy at blogging. I love the journal that it is for our family, so my goal is to post more regularly, at least twice a week. Ambitious, huh? ; ) But I'm trying to be realistic. I know there will be times when that will be a stretch. 
3. I want to be better about photographing Ryanne {and Drake}. I'd like to do an annual photo book, but that means I've got to take more pictures!
4. I'd like to read at least 2 (non-text)books during the summer. I love reading, but have put it on the back burner lately. 
5. I want to be more patient with Ryanne and Trey. 
6. I want to be better about putting away laundry. I have decided I will not wash a new load of clothes until the current one is put away. (I'm excluding this goal from the month after Drake is born. Ha!) 
7. I want to do some type of craft/project/creative thing with Ryanne at least twice a month. 
8. I will have the TV off by 10:30 unless it is the weekend and are watching a movie together or something. I need to quit wasting so much time with the tv. 
9. I want to not worry about my weight until 2013 and just enjoy this year :)
10.  By the end of January, I want everything to be better organized in the house & to keep it that way throughout the year. I put this off when we moved in, and it is long overdue.
11. I want to be a better wife. 
12. I want to remember that I'm only one me, and that me is human. I tend to be too hard on myself, so hopefully I can give myself a little break in 2012 too :) 

I mainly posted these so that I could look back at them next year & see how well I've done, and to hold myself accountable. I just like to set goals, new year or not, to try  improve myself and our family.

Hope you all have had a great New Year's Day!
