2011...Here I come!

So, I was thinking that I always fail my New Year's Resolutions.  They usually have to do with weight, be nicer, spending more time in prayer.  But they also usually end up incomplete.  This year I'm going to take a different approach.  No New Year's "Resolution" per se, but a bunch of New Year's "Goals", 40 to be exact.  I figure this way, I'm BOUND to finish at least one...I hope.  Here's my list, in no particular order:

1) Take Mark to Europe for the First time
2) Read at least 2 books to benefit my career
3) Visit Lauren in Tyler, Texas
4) Run a 10K
5) Plant flowers by our Mailbox
6) Read the entire New Testament
7) Have a "girls' weekend" at the beach or somewhere fun
8) Try a new workout class
9) Host a dinner party (with food I actually cook)
10) Lose 10 lbs
11) Cook 1 new thing each day for a week
12) Find a church home

14) Have dinner at a new (to me) restaurant in Birmingham
15) Go to the dentist (I'll count Julie pre-graduation too)
