I can't believe it is already 2013. It seems like just last year I was ringing in 2000 with my little brother....seriously. It seems like it all happened over night. Life. Adulthood. This year, I fell asleep on the couch, waking up just after midnight to a quiet, dark, house. How old am I, right?
We never really set resolutions last year. Just a general plan: more playtime, technology free days, healthy eating, savings, etc. I am really proud of the great strides our family has made. We accomplished all of our goals last year. Hell yeah!
This year our resolutions, goals, whatever you call them are pretty awesome. Save money. We just paid off our credit card bill and will now put that money we would have been paying to debt into savings! Lose weight. We are off to a great start with our new diet, now it is time to add regular exercise. I am shopping for gyms this week if anyone in Seattle has some good recommendations! Travel. We keep saying we are going to visit family and friends but we never do. It is happening this year. I promise. I will make it happen. Kiss more. Dale and I have gotten so busy that we sometimes forget to kiss each other out the door. We also just finished reading The 5 Love Languages and I am excited to see how this pays off in our relationship. Play more. I have a hard time sitting down and just playing when I know the dishes and laundry need to be done. Truth be told, the dishes and laundry will always need to be done but the boys are only young once. So play hard! Journal. Getting in front of the computer is next to impossible, so I started a simple journal to keep track of our activities, I even let Kannon and Clark draw photos of our day!
We are going to continue on our new food journey. Dale thought I was crazy when I first mentioned trying Paleo. Now, he swears by it. Dale says he feels lighter, more energetic, and has notice a dramatic difference in his body shape. He tells everyone at work about it and loves sharing his meal ideas with others. The man can cook! I think Dale his channeling his inner caveman because his meals are just downright delicious!
Speaking of food, you may have noticed the new frequency of food-related photos on Facebook and Instagram. I have made it my personal mission to photograph every Paleo meal we eat this year with the goal of putting them together in a cookbook for our family. I will try and post recipes here but admittedly, I am busy, and it will most likely happen rarely. If you see something you want the recipe for, feel free to contact me! I am happy to share!
Happy new year!
