Drum roll, please...

Happy New Year!  I still have a few more "Missed Moments of 2012" posts, but guess what... We all survived the end of the world and because you are no longer worried about dodging zombies, I know you have been on the edge of your seat wondering if I kept all of my resolutions for 2012, right?

Resolution Check-In for 2012

1. Cross something else off of my Life List - I did!  I crossed off # 8 and #32 at the Train concert.  I also crossed off #33 and haven't looked back!
2. Reach my goal weight and maintain it (within 2½ lbs.) throughout the year - Turning 30 has not been kind to my body!  I did NOT reach this goal... ugh...
3. Sell my house and move into our dream home - See #1... I know, this is cheating (kind of).  It's ok though. The whole process was exhausting and totally deserves to get two spots on my list!
4. Read 40 books... including a re-read from high school! - I DID IT, YOU GUYS!!  I am so proud of myself for sticking to this!  This year-long challenge is definitely in need of it's own post.
5. Get caught up on the girls' birthday scrapbooks and our wedding scrapbook (finally!) - And this, my friends, is where I set myself up to fail.  Why on earth did I think I should cram THREE books into one number when I also had #3 and #4 to tackle?!  I met 1/3 of this goal by getting our wedding book completed... after our 6th year of marriage.
6. Live one day at a time - I'm really proud of myself for this.  This goal kind of goes with #7.  I have tried really hard to be more easy-going.  I have tried to leave bad work days at work and take a deep breath when I get home.  I feel that I have definitely met this goal.
7. Don't sweat the small stuff - Like I said, I'm trying really hard!  Little things can get to me sometimes, but if I try to take a step back and look at those little things as part of the big picture, they don't seem so big :o)
8. Make someone's day :o) - I'm very unsure on this one, but I'd like to think that I have succeeded.  I like to do nice things for people just because. I don't expect any thing in return.  I also don't expect praise or thanks.  It just makes me feel good as a person to do little things to help out other people.
9. Do what I love! - Every single day I do things I love and I do things I don't love.  This is a very vague resolution, but I feel like I'm working toward a life with more LOVES than not.  Actually, I really do feel like I'm there!
10. Draw something again. - I really want to put pencil to paper again.  The closest I came was painting Mike's cornhole boards.  That was so relaxing and fun!  I need to make time for myself to create more art.

So, because I did so well last year, I have upped the ante and created my list for the new year.
