2010 Goals

• Read my scriptures everyday
• Exercise 5 times a week for at least an hour (this is once Emma comes out (and I get clearance from doctor) the swelling is gone and I can walk again without the accompanying constant pain in my legs and feet I have been experiencing this last month)
• Spend time with Jeff and continue to put him first and our relationship
• Learn how to be a great Mom to Emma and spend quality time with her
• Continue to learn everything I can about baking and cooking
• Pace myself and live a simplified lifestyle (stop trying to do so much)

Here is to another great year, I am excited to see what 28 holds for me!

Thanks for being my friend and loving me despite my imperfections and faults! I sure love all of you :)
