2015 New Year's Resolutions
I know it's the holidays and the board has been slow lately, but come on NBC, you are killing me! WHERE IS EVERYONE?
Does anyone want to share their New Year's resolutions for 2015?

Re: 2015 New Year's Resolutions
I don't think I made any resolutions for 2014 and even though it started a little rough for me, it turned out to be an amazing year! I do have two goals for 2015. The first is to get smarter about our money. We are good at saving, but also really good at needlessly spending, so I want to try to get our ducks in a row a little better, cut out some (not all) of the extra spending, and get a little better with investing. The second is to make it through this parenting thing with happy, healthy parents and baby.
I didn't set a reading goal for 2014 and am going to do the same for 2015. I have no clue how much I'll be able to or want to read with everything going on, but I'm sure I will still read some even if it isn't as much as past years.

My goal for the last couple of years has been to be more green. We're recycling more than ever, trying to reduce our waste, planted a garden last year. I want to do a better garden this year, get some rain barrels maybe, and start composting. I also want to figure out smart ways to reduce our electric bill.

I was in San Diego for work, but I am back now! I couldn't have my phone or computer during the day for 2.5 months and it was a sad and lonely time. On top of that I was on the west coast and the internet is lonely out there because everyone else goes to bed and wakes up so much earlier. I felt like I was far, far away.
At least the weather and other awesomeness in Southern California makes up for the sad internet LOL

2. Use the new exercise equipment. We got free weights and a bike trainer for Christmas. We started using them last night, so I'm a bit sore today, but I want to continue to use them next year.
3. Get rid of things around the house that we don't use or need.
4. Bike as much as possible for our errands.
5. Bring romance back in our relationship. 5 years of trying for a kid has a way of killing the romance...if ya know what I mean.
6. And the hardest one, try to stress less. Find something, anything, to keep my mind off of the stress of daily life or things that I can't control.I hold onto stress too much and when it bubbles over, I get severe panic attacks. I also have really tiny but very deep knots all over my back that my husband can't even lightly massage without me crying. I'm sure that has to do with stress.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

1. Write in my journal daily
2. Maintain happiness everyday. Some days I get upset and forget to remember how blessed I truly am. With this is to be less judgmental and enjoy life.
3. Find a church that we enjoy and attend regularly
4. Be the best mom/wife I can be.
5. Actually take time for myself at least once a week.
1. Drink less wine and eat less bread. *cries*
2. Be a better friend
3. Invest more aggressively for retirement
4. Try something new once a month/find a new hobby
2) Sell our house and buy a new one.
3) Start up yoga again.
