2010

I've heard it a hundred times.

Write it down. Write it down. Write it down.

A goal not written down is just a wish.

So I'm writing them down this year. 2010 is going to be a terrific year. It's already off to a great start. It's only January 3rd and we've already accomplished a few big projects around our house. I blogged about the pantry makeover. Tonight we went to Home Depot and bought a shelving system for Barrett's closet. Ryan and I installed it at 9:00 tonight and Barrett started reorganizing her room. She finally dropped off after midnight.

I've got 2 days of running under my belt (Rowan rode her bike along with me for the full 4.5 miles yesterday), 2 days of scripture reading done, both our garages cleaned out (thanks to Ryan), and I took a great photography class on lighting Saturday afternoon from Amy Fraughton. It was awesome! I can't wait to do silhouettes of my kids!

(I took this picture yesterday in my photography class!)

So...so far so good. 2010 is starting off strong.

Here are my ambitious personal goals for 2010. But what the heck? If you think you can or think you can't, you're right.

So I'm thinking I can and that's a great start. Here are my top 10, not necessarily all in order.

1) Read my scriptures every day.
2) Go to the temple every week.
3) Keep running & training at least 3 days/week.
4) Compete in at least 3 races (my first one is January 30th - London's Run).
5) Train for the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim. We're going in September!
6) Improve my photography by taking classes and doing more shoots. (I got a new lens and Photoshop CS4 for Christmas! I am so thrilled!)
7) Read more. With my kids. On my own. Always keep a book going.
8) Date my husband every week.
9) Stay caught up on my home office work.
10) Accept the "10 in 2010" challenge. (I'll post about that this week).

And there's more...all the financial stuff and such...but these are my personal ones. So I'll post about progress as the year moves along. Good books I am reading, the races I'll run, fun times with my husband, and of course pictures all along the way to document the lives of our beautiful children and the memories we are creating together. We have a great life and I never want to forget...
