A New Year. A New Me.

This year, I'm really not feeling the whole New Year's Resolution thing.  Last year was just so amazing and I accomplished so much that I think I want to enjoy 2013.  I feel like I am sitting on top of the world right now.  I am a planner so, this is completely out of character for me.

Last year, I had it all set up that I would have a back up to take over my position as the alumnae president for my sorority alumnae association for when God blessed us with a child.  And before Eli's birth, I just happened to finish all of my Junior League for the year.  I ran two half marathons last year and while I want to continue my running journey, I am not ready to push myself to that level again just yet.   With all of these things being behind me, I feel like I can focus more on myself and my family.    

The one resolution I always have and never do has to do with cooking.  I've always said that I want to cook more and while being at home with a newborn, that goal is pretty easy to achieve.  Thank goodness for the blog world and Pinterest for ideas.

I will continue to strive to be a better mom, wife, daughter, and friend I can be, but those goals are never ending.    For 2013, I want to sit back, enjoy life and see what God has in store for me.  This is the life I have been waiting for. 

Do you have any New Year's Resolutions this year?

I don't make resolutions, I am more of a to-do list type person. I love what you have written...your goal is my main to-do this year!
