Happy New Year!

It is so hard to believe that it is already 2014! Even harder to believe that we have been back home for over a year now. Crazy how time can fly. But it has and now it's a new year! SO HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know I have talked about how I think resolutions are stupid, but the more I thought about it this year, the more I think I understand the purpose. Everyone always wants to feel like they have fresh start for things and a new year provides that! So I do understand. So I created some :D 

This year I want to:

• Complete a half marathon. I know, crazy. but I really want to do it. Not only that but the one I want to complete is in April. I know, even more crazy. I have started a training plan and hopefully I can stick to it. April 13th is the Rock and Roll Marathon and it's a pretty big deal it's coming to Raleigh this year. There will be a live band at every mile! And it is sponsoring the Jimmy V Foundation. So it's really perfect for me! I just have to be able to run it or at least most of it. haha. We will see :D Any words of encouragement are always helpful!
• I want to stop apologizing and feeling bad for EVERYTHING. If you know me, you know I do this. When I make a decision, I want to feel good about it. I know I always try to make the best decision for John and I or for just me, so if it isnt perfect for others I just need to learn to be okay with it. If it is best for us, it's best for us. This will take all year to work on. haha
• Start reading the bible more often. I dont want to say every day or anything, but a few time a week. I would really like to grow my relationship with the Lord this year. He has just provided us with so much and I want to make sure I am doing what He is asking of me. 

This past year we have been beyond blessed. I cannot wait to see what this year brings for us! Hopefully, I can be successful in my resolutions too :D
