New Tasks For 2013



I know I’m writing this when the month is more than halfway over, but I promise we’ve already begun to make some positive changes in our lives.

I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions, but I did set some goals for myself. I’m much more likely to continue to work at achieving a goal than to stick to a resolution for some reason.

One thing that I want to be better at this year is to increase how often I cook. The past two weeks I’ve cooked dinner more nights than we ate out and I’m proud of that.

David and I have both set out to eat healthier and to get in better shape. We’re making small changes in our diet and we’re both increasing our exercise habits. I’m sure progress will be slow, but progress is progress. :)

This year I have been given the privilege of teaching the adult women and high school girls from our congregation about God’s word. I will be teaching two ladies Bible studies and a monthly devotional to the high school and college girls. These are both firsts for me and I know that I will gain a lot of knowledge as I study and prepare my lessons. I’m really excited and I pray that what I say will be spiritually beneficial for all of the women who attend!

More exciting news to come soon!

  1. When Daniel and I moved into our house a year and a half ago, I was really motivated to cook more meals. We were TERRIBLE in our little apartment. With a nice, new big kitchen (compared to our apartment anyway) and a fresh start, I didn't have any excuses anymore, haha! And I LOVE it. It's rare now that we get on a bad kick of not cooking and eating at home. In fact we very rarely eat out at all, ever. I have really enjoyed cooking, and it's fun to find new recipes to try on Pinterest and plan things out. Pinterest makes recipes more fun for me :)

  2. CROCKPOT MEALS!!! Best things ever! Especially if you both have a busy day or you know there won't be a lot of time in the evening (i.e. Wednesday.) I think it's going to become a permanent crockpot day.

    Also, awesome about the classes!!! Super excited for you guys!

    Miss you!
