Happy New Year! :D I was going to post a recap of 2008 like I did for 2007 last year. But, I figure my old posts are a good enough recap of the year. I decided to weigh in on my resolutions for last year and talk about my resolutions for this year.

Last year, I wanted to:

Improve my relationship with Corey.
Read The Book of Mormon again.
Read at least 50 books!
Go back to school.

Now that 2008 has come to a close, I’ve realized that I didn’t do a very good job at meeting my resolutions, except for one. My relationship with Corey has definitely improved and that’s definitely the most important resolution I wanted to accomplish. I know our relationship can continue to improve, but honestly, I think that’s something we’ll continue to work on for our entire life.

As far as reading The Book of Mormon again, I failed miserably at this challenge. I got to 2 Nephi and just kind of quit reading. I’m not really sure what happened other than I just had a hard time getting myself to read the scriptures last year.

I didn’t quite reach 50 books, but I did read 28 books. This is the most I’ve ever read during a year so I’m still very proud of my accomplishment. I’ve read a lot of good books last year. Some of my favorites include: Twilight Saga, The Host, Dragon Prince trilogy, The Other Boleyn Girl, and Rebecca.

I wasn’t able to start school again so I didn’t accomplish that goal.

As for 2009, I have similar goals from 2008 that I want to accomplish. In fact, the first three goals are exactly the same!
