Simple Update for the New Year

The beginning of the year always warrants a little update on my life.  I have to say I didn’t really make any New Year’s resolutions last year, and I haven’t really felt the need to make any resolutions this year either.  I guess it’s not that I don’t feel that resolutions aren’t a good thing, I have just set goals throughout the whole year and continue to set goals to better myself as a person, as a child of God, as a fiance, as a daughter and sister, as a friend, as a teacher and coach.  There are always so many things that I’m striving for and that means that I’m constantly failing and constantly picking myself back up and trying again.  I’m never all put together and I’m never a finished product.

Some of the more recent goals I’ve been working toward can serve as an  update.

Lance- Our wedding is July 13.  There are obvious goals here that we’ve got to get accomplished and honestly we are off to a good start.  I guess my more subtle goal related to this would be to enjoy this journey and enjoy this time.  It’s easy to be sad that we live 3 hours apart, it’s easy to be disappointed that we don’t get to spend much time together and it’s easy to wish for July 13 to be here as quickly as possible.  All those things are so hard for me to put aside because I cannot wait to be Lance’s wife, but I know that this time in our relationship is just as important as the time that we get after we are married and I would like to enjoy this time too.

Insanity- Ugh…fitness goal are to simply be healthy. :)

Teaching- Some of you may know that I’ve had the challenge of putting together a curriculum that aligns to the Iowa Core.  It’s not a small task and very time consuming, but my goal is to make Math relevant for my 7th graders.

This is one of my less inspired post, I hope it serves as a simple update.
