wow. 2011 was a rough year! It started off terribly, got worse and then came around and got much MUCH better. I'm hoping for only good things in 2012.
Everyone always starts with the resolutions, goals and "must do" things for the new year. Of course I have them too, but I'm hoping a different way of thinking will help me accomplish them instead of failing by February.
1) Have more good times then bad. Sure this doesn't seem like something we can control, but I think we can. I can not stop all bad things from happening, but we can control how we react to them and think postivly so that the "damages" aren't as severe as they may seem. Where there's a will, there's a way and I have the will. After 2011, I know that one for sure.
2) Spend more time as a family. This one is easy, we are finally going to be living on our own, just me, Dae and Aaron and hopefully, we will finally get to see Zain. Spending 2011 as a single parent, I know what my friends have gone through and I want to make sure that Dae has both his parents all the time and that we make good positive memories instead of bad ones.
3) Eat "good for us" food. We have got to lose weight and keep it off. Diets don't help you keep the weight off or teach Dae healthy eating habits. We love to cook, are good at it and with the internet available to us, there is no excuse to buy the junk pre packaged, unhealthy food. We are going to eat more fruit/veggies/good meats and less junk/candy/fast food.
Aaron works tonight, but when he gets off, we are going to spend the start of the year together with our baby boy. There are lots of old wives tales about NYE, but the one that I believe true is that family needs to be together.
Happy New Year!!!! Bring it on 2012!!!!
