Happy New Year

Our year has been beyond chaotic. Somehow, it seems almost impossible to stay up on house cleaning, grading, cooking and grocery shopping for my family, and playing with Levi. However, it is about to get more chaotic with number 2 arriving in ~6 weeks.

Is it really possible that he is coming already??? Eesh.... I very much feel pregnant in the fact that bending over is becoming more of a chore every day, but the reality of having another child is very hard for me to comprehend.

I love that boy. He is going to be such a wonderful big brother.

On a different note, I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions, but I have a few things that I would like to improve in my own life, so why not share and be held accountable.

#1 Goal is to read through the Bible in a year. It has been four years since I have done it, so I would love to do that again.

#2 I would like learn to cook healthier meals for my family. My mom is my hero, as she always has delicious, healthy meals.... so this year I am going to try harder and put more time into meals and not just throw the same things together at the last minute.

#3 What resolution list wouldn't be complete without a weight loss goal? My best friend in NC is getting married this summer, which means I have only 2 months after baby comes and I can actually exercise again to get in somewhat decent shape. Although I will tell you my other long-term goal is to run a half-marathon in October--I am excited for both, but I know with my sweet tooth and laziness it will be a challenge.

Those are my plans for this year. Hope your New Year was wonderful and wish you the best on fulfilling any resolutions you made! :)
