goals and such

during the winter i have to admit, sometimes i get in a funk. i miss the sun, i don't work as much, i seem to get really hungry (which means my pants get tight), and i get a little down on myself for all the things i'm not and probably never will be. but as we turned to 2009 i listed out some goals that have helped me focus on things that can be attained. our friend jeff said he was listing his new years resolutions out in a very public way to keep him accountable. so i'm shamelessly stealing his idea and doing the same.

i broke my list into mind, body, spirit, and soul

- read 20 books in 2009. easy when i was in college, harder with a 2 year old
- do at least 1 triathlon. i plan on doing one the weekend of my 30th (gasp) birthday
- 1/2 marathon. i hate running, hate it, but sometimes you find good things when you do what you don't want to
- join a small group as a couple so we can grow together in our faith
- spend a weekend by myself, in silence. i have a hard time with quiet but for some reason feel i'm suppose to do this
- do a devotion with deacon on a regular basis
-eat at least 3 meals together a week as a family. (hard with brandon in law school and when i work week nights)
-at least 5 probono photography projects for charities i love

so what about you? do you have any goals, resolutions, etc? leave a comment, send me an email, there's power in telling someone else what you want.
