I resolve to...

1.) Be a better, more patient mommy

2.) Be a more loving, attentive wife

3.) Be a more helpful, available daughter (and daughter-in-law)

4.) Be a better, not so motherly sister and just be the cool big sis to my lil' sis

5.) Be a a better, compassionate, mindful friend

6.) Make new friends and build back old but important friendships too

7.) Travel to new places

8.) Get healthy!

9.) Spend as much time just loving and cuddling with my boys because they grow up too fast

10.) Show my family and friends I love them

11. ) Build my relationship with God and get closer to Him

12.) Have fun and not stress about the little things and enjoy the big important things

So those are just some of my New Year's resolutions. I want to do so many things and improve myself in so many ways. I think 2012 is going to be another good year for us. We have so much to look forward to.

Our New Year's Eve was spent with my family. Kyle was out of town...again...and I didn't want to be lonely so we drove the 3 minute drive to my Aunt Deb's to her annual New Year's shindig and enjoyed a buffet of finger/snack foods, movies, football, noisemakers, party hats, a round of poker (which I wasn't involved in at all because I stink at the game, and 3 noisy little boys hyped up on sugar.
Laura (my sister) is a closet poker player. Nobody knows how good she is til' she beats you! She beat my Dad, my Uncle Sport, my Uncle Jim, and my cousin Brian and got herself a cool $20...holla!!! lol!!!
I remember the one time I went out for New Year's and it was ridiculous...too many drunk people slathering themselves all over the place, not cool. I love just being with my family, talking about our plans over the next year, watching my boys get all giddy when they get to play with their cousin Kody, and taking in all the blessings that my family has in one another.

I wasn't able to kiss my hubby at midnight, but I blew him a kiss ;)
