6. Finish decorating our bedroom.
Remember how LAST summer {like summer 2010} I said I would have my room complete? I totally lied. It's about 97.562% done. I've even hung drapes. I just need to hang 2 pictures and stick some vinyl up on the wall {which I can now do on my own with my new SILHOUETTE!!! Thanks mom!} I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.

7. This year, I WILL GET TO MY GOAL WEIGHT!
It wouldn't be the beginning of a new year without a weight resol goal list, right? Well, I'm really doing mine. Again, another blanket goal, BUT let me assure you that I have my smaller, more attainable and specific goals written out. I just won't make you read them. I just might do an update now and again.

8. I will start mentally preparing to become a mother.
Nope, not an announcement of any kind, nor am I saying that we are going to start trying for babies this coming year. I've just noticed that it is outside the realm of my mind to even imagine myself pregnant. I don't think my mind has even recognized that fact that I will eventually be an actual parent, with an actual baby. I find this kind of sad, considering we're running out of decent excuses AND I'm starting to really like babies. So, I shall start preparing...how I'm supposed to do that, I do not know. Tips and advice always welcome.

9. Continue my education and increase my knowledge.
As I'm sure most of you know, I'm a huge advocate for education. I feel guilty almost every day for not starting a Master's program this fall semester, but after lots of discussion, prayer, and tears, I now know that it's not the right time for me or my family. However, there is a psychology certificate that's caught my eye -- it's all online, only 7 classes, and I can take 1 class per semester. So, by the end of the year, I'd like to be enrolled or have taken at least one of those courses. Plus, I have half off tuition right now, I'd be crazy not too, right?
