You Say You want a Resolution.....

Here we are again. That magical time of year when everyone decides that their New Year's resolution will be to lose _____ lbs and be healthier. Last year I had several resolutions. First off, I wanted to be more 'green', so I decided to change one thing a month to a more 'green' option. Well, I think I made it to July or August, some changes stuck around, others did not. I also wanted to lose weight in 2012, and kick PCOS's ass.... Well, I lost 30lbs, started ovulating, and got pregnant (though the pregnancy ended early on). So overall, I think I rocked that resolution. Lastly, I wanted to be a better wife, as far as the domestic duties are concerned and well... I got BETTER, but I think that is still a work in progress.

As I look back at 2012, I have a lot to reflect on and a lot to give thanks for. Though we come out of it without a baby in our arm or even growing in my belly, we were blessed in many other ways through out the year. Now I need to focus on what we can do to make 2013 even better than 2012.
So these are my resolutions for 2013, they may or may not bring a baby into our lives, but it definitely should make life a little better:

First a foremost, I want to continue to lose weight, be healthy, and kick PCOS's ass. I think I gave PCOS a hell of a fight last year, but I am pretty determined to knock her out this year.

Also, I want to find a place to volunteer throughout the year. Anyone that knows me knows I just a big bleeding heart. When I pass a homeless person on the street, I am the kind of person that will give them money or food. Once I even gave one homeless man my flip-flops because he was walking down the street  barefoot. I love knowing I made someone else's day just a little bit better. So I would like to be able to do some sort of volunteer work to help others out once every few months or so.

Lastly, I want to be a better wife. Eric is a kind, loving, a patient man at heart. However, the last 2 years of infertility has definitely put a strain on our relationship and sometimes we are not as loving as we should be. We both need to start being more loving, patient, and kind to each other. I need to work on my temper, and try to remember that name-calling is not OK, even in a fight. And since our IF has been a test of faith, to say the least, I hope this year we can pray & grow in our faith together.

Well that's what is going to happen in 2013... well that and a baby (fingers crossed)!
