Our New Year's (Not-So-Resolute) Resolutions

Growing up, I always thought New Year's Resolutions were over-rated.
Mine were always completely dead by January 6th (OK, 4th).

Plus, they were boring.
And we don't do boring.

So, this year instead of the normal New Year's Resolutions, I have insisted on a new (and possibly improved - I'll let you know in a year) system. I wrote down 10 "fill-in-the-blanks" and Luke and I had to (that's right...) fill in the blanks.

And so, my 2010 New Year's Resolutions are as follows.

This Year I Will:
* Be better at: Smiling more and faking it less
* Learn how to:
Finally use my camera
*Make myself:
Not be offended
*Improve at:
Reading scriptures and saying my morning prayers
*Be:
On time to church!!
*Try harder to:
Get out of bed
*Enjoy:
The journey
*Make a habit of:
Telling my family I love them more.
*Stop:
Yelling. So loudly.
*Make:
2010 the best, happiest, and most productive year on record.

In 2010, I'm also hoping to:
-Write a book
-Finish my long-overdue scrapbooks
-Get pregnant

Watch out 2010.
Here we come.

P.S. Would anyone buy my book if I really did write one?
P.S.S. Totally kidding about getting pregnant.
TOTALLY. KIDDING.
P.S.S.S. What are your 2010 Resolutions?

I don't have time to read books but I would make time to read yours Ashley. Are you sure you were kidding? Don't you two want to see if you can do as good of a job making little boy babies as you have making darling little girls? :) Cute snow pictures! We have so enjoyed you all and will be sad to see you leave Idaho Falls tomorrow. :(
P.S. Hope you aren't too soar from the boot camp class you took with me this morning

Our 2010 New Year's Resolution is to convince you REALLY to get pregnant in 2010 ;)

Yep, you for sure will get pregnant this year after that. But, I will totally buy your book and I will buy your baby! :) (I know that is a creepy comment but we are almost like family so I figure I can pull it off).

haha I about woke up Rick from his nap just now to tell him the exciting news that you will be getting pregnant! Good one =) I would read your book for sure, afterall you are the next Martha Stewart, but only much cooler and cuter, so you could make some bank. The fill in the blank resolutions are such a good idea!
