Bring it On 2012!!

Goals! Why? Because I want to be better.

 And now is a better time then ever to be better so the better question is "Why not?!" So I have goals. 

I have tried to set goals in the past but I have learned that I am not successful unless I plan. I also have learned that I do better with goals when I have a reason for changing. So the following is my list of goals, the reasons I want to succeed and an explanation of how I am going to complete these goals!

Spiritual: Because I want to! 

- Write in my Journal at least once a week and/or Blog. I want to remember my life. I love reading old journal entries and even though they are completely ridiculous, it shows that I have changed and it reminds me not to make the same mistakes as I did in the past.  I will make this one of my sunday activities probably after church-during my lunch time and before my nap.

- Give one Book Of Mormon away. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ Of Later Day Saints and I have never given a Book of Mormon away. I know the Church is true. And i really hope i get the opportunity to share the gospel with someone.  

School: Because I should.. 

- GET MORE SLEEP!! When I don't have enough sleep I am not a good girlfriend or room mate. My school work slacks and I fall asleep during my scripture study. As a result, my grades and attitude reflect my lack of sleep. I hate it and I need to do better. So the plan: This means not so many late nights on Pinterest and Facebook. This also means saying good bye to Adam at 11:30pm instead of midnight so I can be in bed by 12. Weekends will be my exception. 

- GRADUATE!!! The plan right now is to graduate by December 2012. I plan on working my butt off for the next year so I can graduate with a 3.5gpa. I understand that a 3.5 doesn't seem so difficult but apparently I suck at school so 3.5 is my achievable goal 

For Kicks and Giggles:  Because I Can! 

- Cook a new recipe once a week. I need to learn to be more domestic. My momma got me a new cook book and I now have my parents old Crock Pot so the plan is the utilize these and become someone who can fatten my hubby with real food and not only truffles. 

- Learn to do a backbend walk over. okay. So this has been a goal of mine since I took tumbling in 2004. A backbend walk over is where you bend backwards into a back bend and then kick your legs over and you end up standing. Pretty much a slow motion back handspring. I have always wanted to be able to do this but I am horribly inflexible. So the plan is to stretch and strengthen my core through crunches and sit ups. 

- Do Baptisms for the dead in as many temples as I can in one day.  I live in Utah. Within a 1 hour drive from my apartment I can see at least 6 temples. 6!!! No where else in the world can you do that!! I want to take advantage of this phenomenon. The plan: set a date, set appointments, wake up early and do it! I am so excited for this one. This has been a goal of mine since my friends took me to the Timp Temple in 2010. It's about time I fulfill this one!!

So these are my goals. I want my dear readers (so pretty much my momma) to check up on me with these! I am documenting on the internet so I can't throw the paper away. And so I can't just forget. 

I'm excited for this new year. I'm excited for Change and the adventures that it will bring!!
