Hello 2010, my soon to be friend

 

I've never really done new year's resolutions before. If I did, I automatically forgot about them by February. This year I've decided to come up with a goal list. I'm sure it will get added on over the year, but here's what I'm starting out with

1. Buy a water/fireproof safe for valuable papers. (technically I can already mark this off, because I bought one with my Christmas money. Not really a fun loving way to spend that money, but it's something I really have been looking at for a long time. I feel much better knowing my marriage certificate won't go up with a puff of smoke.)


2. Make a Will. (Now that we have Clare, I want to make sure there is no confusion with her getting all she deserves. I'm a little nervous, because I hear will's can be pricey when done with a lawyer.)


3. Update my passport. (I haven't been a Krile for years, and Kevin and I are hoping to get away for a little special vacation without the baby this year!)


4. Finish Clare's Baby book. (I never even finished our wedding book, and now I'm too senile to remember all the little details.)


5. Complete our 6 month emergency fund. (This is part of our Dave Ramsey program that we've been on forever. We are only about $4,000 away from our goal, and I am just dying to get there.)


6. Start a Pottery Class. (My mom says that you always need something you are passionate about. And while I love being a stay-at-home Mom, I've lost my passion and need some alone time to find myself again. I did pottery for about 5 years when I was young, so in February I'm hoping to pick it up again. I hope I'm not too rusty!)


7. Adopt a Compassion Child. (This is something that has been on my heart for years, but I've never gotten off my butt to do it. I'm hoping putting it on this list will make it happen this year.)


8. Update this blog every other week. (Now this is a really far fetching goal. I love this blog, but I only like to write when I've got something really good to write about. I'm hoping to be more inspired this year, so that I can post more often.)


9. Get pregnant again sometime later in the year. (Now don't get to excited out there family. I'm not pregnant now, and I hope not to be for a while longer now. But Clare will turn 2 this year, and I'm ready to throw our whole life off kilter again.)


10. Help Kevin with his 2010 goal. (Kevin's come a long way this year, and he's going to go even farther this year. I'm going to be here to support him, encourage him, and remind him how amazing he is.)

Here's to the new year!
