Undone

Oh Lawdy, here we go….

Goals for 2010:

Save Money– Nope. Not really. we’d get there, and then a catastrphe would happen, and BAM, gone. So just a clean solid, No. Luckily we have a plan right now. I’m in control, and dang it, it’s going to happen.
Pay off debt (Most importantly RC Willey, and Scott’s Car) – Also No, THough we did get RC willey paid down, the car wasn’t paid more than usual. Also have a plan for this.
Have a great time at Disneyland – Heck yes! I love Disneyland> I’d live there if I could.
Give Audrey a Great Party (whoo hoo!) – Yep. Good party, we all had fun, she was adorable too!
Become a Stay at Home mom – Uh no. There was a snafu that ended up wtih Scott taking a lower paying job, due to being laid off. In any case, the high falutin’ dreams of staying at home with my kids are being put off. Should I ever win the lottery, this will come back into play. 😉
Spend more time with my kids and Scott – I know I can say Yes for the Scott one. WE have agreed on weekly date nights. They are often the highlight of my week. I do my best to spend the time ihave with my kids too. Sometimes though, I feel like they are constantly at a babysitter. I feel rotten about that.
Learn to Cook … better? More? Whichever, or both 😉 – I have to say that more of our meals this year were home made than in the past. There is still plenty of room for improvement though.
Learn and grow more in the gospel – God works in mysterious ways. I think a lot of growth was to be had this year.
Sit IN the chapel more than once a (EDIT) month. – I would say that more often than not when we did make it to church, we did sit in the chapel. Which makes me immensely happy.
Potty train Katie (if she’s ready, and I think she is. 🙂 – YES! Katie is pretty solidly potty trained, dry though the night, dry in the day, no accidents for a while. I am pleased!!! Such a big girl!

Goals for the new year? Why not. I am not disclosing all of my goals, I think some things are best worked out in private:

Debt Debt debt. I will pay off RC willey, however I will incur new debt in fixing the roof. I hope to have that paid off this year too!
Find happiness in my life.
Keep my house in order
Grow Closer to the Lord
Cook more
Attend a Concert (Out of the blue right?)
Finish some quilts

That’s all I can think of at the moment. If I think of more, I’ll come back and add them in. 😉

Derringer Meryl [Love, peace, happiness] out

isn’t this required. I think so. First of all, my goals for 2008: (courtesy of my old blog ;))

Goals for 2008
Church attendance should go up. Muchly so. – I would say in the latter part of 2008, we have been doing pretty well.
Go with my Aunt to the Temple – Uh. Sorry no. I suck
Spend more time with Scott 😉 – Yes, I always have this Goal I swear, but I don’t want to be one of those people who grows apart slowly from their spouse. I make an effort (? It’s not hard, it’s just important) to talk to Scott every day, about whatever I can think of.
Lose more weight – This will take SOME major restraint on my part. – Uh, no here too sparky. And on account of me gettin’ knocked up again– I’d have to say I’m gaining weight. Slow but sure.

Spend time with my friends (that I’ve known PRIOR to my marriage) – While this one is a failure for the most part, I have to say that at least I saw Amerlee outside of a wedding or a baby shower. Also I communicate with pre-marriage friends on facebook. I’m shameful.
Give Katie a good first birthday party – I would say her party rocked my socks.
Be supportive – I wish I had wrote down more what I had in mind here, I did my best to be supportive. I’m also working on having more faith.
Gossip less (I do have a daughter watching me now) – Yes? I try to discourage it. I admit that sometimes I vent, and the things I say aren’t nice. I should keep working on this one.
Start Family Home Evening with Katie – Better But not perfect.
Pray nightly – Still need to keep working on this.
Be less paranoid – HAHAHA! yeah right.
Show my love for my family more – I think so? I genuinely do love my family, I am pretty pathetic at showing it.
Complain less – NOPE. I’m horrible at complaining, especially when pregnant.
Finish unfinished projects (quilts, sewing, Dolls, etc) – Finished two quilts (yay) however I still have 3 quilts in the wings.
Learn how to Crochet – Nope. I tried, I’ll try again.
Stay on top of housework (weekly) – Kind of. I have to say I’m doing alright, except for on dishes.

2009 Goals:

Increased Church and Temple attendence.
Have a happy Baby in July
Attend The Specialist’s wedding
More Crocheting
more Quilt work
Get Katie’s Big girl room set up
Have a great 5th anniversary

That’s all I can think of right now, I will do my recap of the year later 😉 Keep an eye out for that. It’s time to go have fun.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
