New Years Resolutions

Last year Paul and I wrote each of our goals for the year down on a strip of paper and put them in a jar. This year we went through and pulled out ones we completed left ones in that are on going and added new ones on a different color paper. Ones we finished include:
1. Quit caffeine - Cassie
2. Get pregnant - both
3. Work more on book - Paul
4. Make a plaid dress - Cassie
5. Make a titanic dress - Cassie
6. Spend more time with Cassie - Paul
7. Buy a car - both
These are just a few we finished, here are new ones we added:
1. Finish book - Paul
2. Have a baby - both
3.Finish Scrapbook - Paul
4. Finish T-Shirt Quilt - Cassie
5. Eat healthier - Both
6. Finish Twilight Princess - Cassie
7. Work a Craft Show - Cassie
8. Fill in gaps on Paul's Family History Tree

We have a lot of goals and things we want to accomplish this year and I feel we did a really good job last year. 

I don't like picking a resolution and giving up on it after a few weeks. Which is why I have never had "loose weight" on my list. Yes it is important to be a healthy weight but what is healthy is different for everyone. All of my doctors tell me my weight it fine and I don't need to worry about it. According to all those charts out there I am overweight by 20+ lbs.  My opinion of those charts is poor at best. 

A resolution is supposed to be a renewal of trying to be a better you. I want to feel accomplished and healthy. So I am actively making choices that fit that criteria.
