2009 New Year’s Resolutions

Happy New Year!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!

• I want to continue to improve my relationship with Corey.
• I want to read The Book of Mormon.
• I want to go back to school.
• I want to read at least 30 books.
• I want to lose 100 pounds.

I guess we’ll see what happens in another 362 days.
