finally, on the last day of january i got my resolutions written. they've been swimming in my head since the end of december but for some reason i've been putting it off.
my theme for 2012 was yes i can and i challenged myself a lot to do things i normally would tell myself i couldn't {ran a 5k, got a promotion at work, joined a blogger book club, learned to bake bread, etc}. i still have a lot of things i want to push myself to do this year and so i'm keeping the theme yes i can for another year.
i have put a lot of things off because of where i'm living {an hour away from work & most of my friends} but i'm hoping this is our year to get back up to salt lake county and become home owners! i am completely terrified by this one - every time we've come close i become a complete mess and start stressing non-stop about how we will pay for everything. there are so many things that you don't realize you need when you buy a house! it really freaks me out. but i'm ready. i'm ready to grow up once and for all and take all the responsibility the comes with owning our own home. this year is our year!
i want to challenge myself more in the kitchen. i am really comfortable with cookies, cupcakes, and basic baking but i want to take it to another level this year, especially when it comes to cooking. when i have my own kitchen again i want to start making everything from scratch. my friend alicia is amazing at this and i want to be more like her. some specific things i want to conquer this year are french macaroons and other french pastries {have you ever had a napoleon? it's amazing and is isaac's favorite - i need to learn to make it for him}, homemade pizza dough, different types of bread, learn to frost a really pretty cake {i've never done it!}, etc. i may even try making my own yogurt?! who knows. i also still really want to start selling my treats. i'm thinking for birthday parties, work events, etc. i haven't done much of it the past year because of location issues, but once i'm back in slc i'm determined to get something going.
i have come a long way at work the past year - but i still get very nervous taking care of a specific patient population on our unit. there is a group of kids that have tracheostomies that are on ventilators and for some reason they terrify me. i took the class to take care of them in july and have taken care of a few since then, but i absolutely hate it. almost every time i have one of these patients they manage to pull their trach out and it's the worst thing ever. i feel like a new nurse again and it's a terrible feeling! i want to become more brave and get more comfortable taking care of them because if i ever want to continue moving up on my unit i need to get better at it.
and few others:
yes i can go 5 days a month without sugar {a big deal for me}! yes i can read 40 books this year. yes i can start dancing again {this has been a goal the past 2 years! i need to make it happen this year}. yes i can run a 10k! yes i can join a food co-op and figure out how to use all the produce.
it's happening people. i'm ready to accomplish some goals, both big and small. 2013 is going to be a good one, i can feel it.

There's never a perfect time for anything in life...buying a home, having a child, trying this or trying that. You just gotta do it and hope for the best. Best of luck on your 2013 goals!
Love it em.
a. cutest picture of you.
b. you are such an adult already.
c. yes you can.
Yes, you can! I think it's fabulous that you are a dancer. I would like to take some dance classes, but I will definitely have to work hard at my coordination. Two left feet when it comes to dancing a routine. Haha
Yeah for goals! I'm excited for you to get a house...it will be fabulous! and you will get to sleep a few more minutes on days that you work.
These are terrific goals and such a positive spin on it all with the "yes I can" attitude. Love it. Think I might copy and paste some of those to my list. You are an inspiration :)
