Hello 2012

In honor of the new year I decided to give the blog a makeover. New year, new look, at least for the blog :) While I haven't sat down and officially written out my goals for this new year here are a few that will be making their way onto my list.

1. Live in the present! I want to spend less time on the computer/ in front of the TV and live in the real world, not the virtual world. I also want to enjoy the present more rather than wishing for the future. Life goes by too fast and I want to make sure I enjoy every minute of it with the people I love. 

2. Cook more! I have a lighter class load this semester and I am hoping I will be able to more things like cooking yummy meals! 

3. Sew!! My wonderful husband got me a sewing machine for Christmas and I am so excited to find time to spend sewing. I'm not very good, but I'm excited to learn and practice with my new machine!

4. Get into shape. I realize this is a goal that is made almost every new year and doesn't have a very high success rate, but cross my heart I really do want to get into shape this semester. The gym and the pool are calling my name.

5. Make a cake and use my new cake cricket to decorate it! My sister gave it to me as a wedding gift and I still haven't been able to pull it out and play with it. I will definitely be playing with it this year though!
