Challenges for the Year

This year, we are setting some challenges for ourselves. We are not much of 'resoltution' people. It is too hard to keep resolutions and change things because of a new year. So, we are challenging ourselves and wondering what the coming year will hold.

Some challenges-

1. Curt would like to do a triatholon or some running event.

2. I want to become better at going to the grocery store less and getting things we can use completely over a couple of weeks instead of having to throw things out.

3. We want to travel (plans are for Texas, LA, and Washington)

4. I want to read a book a month- and a variety of books at that. Right now, I am working on the book called Captivating, definately a good read.

5. Based on my month of thankfulness, we decided that it would be nice to be thankful daily for things that happen. We are writing just one sentence or thing that happened each day that we are thankful for. At the end of 2013, we should be able to see many things that were fabulous about the year.

Some wonderings-

1. Obviously the big one- when will Cedric ___________ (insert crawl, walk, talk, look like, etc). We are so curious about our little man and what he will be like with another year!

2. Will we decide to move- it is in talking stages, but a big question.

3. With work, we wonder if tax season will be too much with our little friend and how it will effect us differently. With school, also I wonder if the quiet lifestyle of being home with Cedric will ever outweigh going to work each day (but that will NOT happen, but I wonder).

4. And we also wonder how often we will see family and friends this year. We are so lucky to be able to travel and cannot wait to have those things fall into place.

So, here we are, starting 2013 with this challenges and questions for ourselves. Let it begin!
