Other New Year's Resolutions

I'm not usually one to think much about resolutions, but this year I decided to make a few. Here they are:

  1. Start a blog - (as earlier stated) I'm doing well so far on this one.
  2. Get organized - I've gone through the guest room closet, the hall closet, and all the clothes in our closet and both dressers. It really feels good to get rid of all that junk that was just taking up space. I made a rule: If we hadn't touched it since we moved in a year and a half ago, then we didn't need it. It was amazing how much stuff that applied to. Yesterday I took 3 trashbags and 7 boxes full of stuff to Goodwill.
  3. Learn how to decorate cakes - I realized that I really like to bake. So, I thought it would be fun to learn how to decorate all these cakes I make. It'll save me money on birthdays and other parties if I can do it myself. And, it really looks like fun. I have signed up for classes up at Hobby Lobby that start next week.
  4. Read the Bible all the way through - (Thanks, Bethany, for inspiring me to strive for this one) This is something I've never done and always wanted to do. What better time to start than the new year?

Now, I'll need some accountablity to stick with all of these things. So, I'm expecting all of you guys to help me out. Ask me about them. Don't let me slack on them.

Here is Reagan and me in the back of Jason's pick-up with all the stuff that went to Goodwill. Once I got there, I found carloads full of stuff and people unloading them everywhere. The Goodwill Donation Center was like Grand Central Station. I realized that I was not the only one who made such a resolution this year.
