New Year's Resolutions

I can't believe it is 2013! It just sounds so futuristic.

I'm sad that we didn't host our yearly New Year's Brunch, but with family in town and multiple Christmas celebrations going on, it was just too much this year. However, Gary and Betsy were kind enough to babysit so Josh and I could attend a New Year's Eve party...and dominate some beer pong.

Anyway, on to the resolutions...

I'm not usually a huge resolution maker (or keeper), but the following are some of my goals for the new year... 

• Learn how to better use my camera (as well as the Photoshop I got for Christmas..what, what!). 
• Stick with the Couch to 5K plan I started, and actually run a 5K. 
• To go with the resolution above, lose those last 10 pounds of baby weight...plus another 10. I know this is super cliche, but it must be done. Seriously. 
• Plan more fun weekend outings for our family. 
• Take a sewing lesson. I would love to be able to make some cute stuff for Ava. 
• Buy a new car. It's time. And I think my Dad and Josh might send me to a shrink if I don't let go of "The Hoe" sometime soon. 
• Take a baby-free vacation. 
• Find a church that we enjoy going to (I am very picky...can't be too conservative, but can't be too modern/cheesy either). Ava needs some Sunday School in her life. 
• Cook more/eat out less. And post more of my favorite recipes on the blog. This means more weekly menu planning to make it happen. 
• Compile and order Ava's blog-based baby book. If I put it off, it will never happen. 
• Read more...in all that free time that I have ;). 
• Drink more water and less wine during the week. Is it bad that this will be the hardest to keep?!

I think that is it. Here's to hoping I accomplish at least a few of these. And here's to a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year for everyone out there!
