2015

As it is January 15th I totally know that I am behind the game with the whole new years resolution stuff.  What can I say, the last two months have been pretty much out of control.  But hey, my kids did get fed everyday and we made it to work most days and my house doesn't look like a nuclear explosion went off so I'm counting the past two months as a success. 


2015 is going to be nuts, I can just feel it.  I feel so unsettled and nervous and anxious for this next year.  This last fall was really calm, like way too easy and I swear its the Lord prepping you for the storm.  My mom's cancer has shaken us up in a way that I can't really describe.  She did pretty well with her first treatment but just needs a lot of help.  Between helping care for her, chasing two toddlers, a new calling at church, Matt's calling and work going nutty it is kind of a lot spinning around right now. 


And on top of those things Matt and I are talking about making a pretty big and scary change for our family.  He is jazzed, I'm terrified and the kids screaming and hollering every time we try to discuss it is only adding to my anxiety.  But that's okay, it should be a good change, just a scary one.


As I have been thinking about new years resolutions over the past two weeks the obvious goals keep coming up like don't tell your coworkers to get hit by a bus or limit panic attacks to twice a week or don't quit your job.  But then I decided I should really just focus on goals to help me get through all the changes going on this year.  I'm keeping them so basic and easy in hopes that they will actually help this year go better.  So here we go, 2015 resolutions.


  • Attend the temple four times this year.  (Don't judge, baby steps right?)
  • Read the entire Book of Mormon
  • Exercise
  • Make a Shutterfly book of our Disneyland pictures
  • Put my phone away when I'm spending time with the kids
  • Get a babysitter and go on a date with Matt at least every other month
  • Take time for myself each week
These are all things I should be doing anyway and will hopefully help me to handle all this crazy stuff we've got going down this next year.
