It's a New Year!

So of course a new year has rolled around which brings “new things, new hopes, new dreams and new resolutions.” As we make our twenty-six hour road trip across the country (which we hope not to do again for a LONG TIME) we think back to last year at this time and assess whether or not we “successfully” accomplished our new years resolutions. There are several that we could proudly say we did, others, not so much. : ) Together we have made a list of new years resolutions, or maybe goals rather, that we genuinely hope to accomplish. So here goes nothin’ 2012:

1. Build a deeper relationship with Jesus individually and in our marriage
2. Be more spontaneous and committed to our “dating” relationship in our marriage.
3. Grow deeper into community within our Church and friendships
4. Get more involved with Mosaic (our Church)
5. Get more involved and serve within local organizations in Nashville (be a part of change)
6. Build more friendships
7. “Create” more often
8. Live more simply
9. Develop and be faithful to our budget
10. Stay committed to giving with our finances
11. Open our home to hospitality more often
12. Grow somewhat of a garden again : )
13. Eating healthier and exercise more often, Run the Music City half marathon April 28^th
14. Travel the surrounding areas to see more of the South and East Coast, camping style!
15. Pursue vegetarianism  (Misty :))
16. Utilize public transportation
17. Spend time in Haiti!"
18. Continue dreaming dreams and be willing to make sacrifices
19. Be innovative in, and passionate about our jobs
20. Seek God’s heart daily

Okay so some sound pretty generic but REALLY, we genuinely strive to be better at all of these things! :) HAPPY NEW YEAR!
