new year...

i have so many other things to do right now. but here i am updating my blog... hahah . i would love to go through 2007 and really reflect on it.. but now is not the time. ALSO i will be adding TONS of pics in the next few days of the new apartment and from over break. yay! it will be great....

i need to pack for school/new apartment. we are leaving early morning but i am so tired and exhausted from everything that I don't even want to start. i know once i do it wont take long, but that first step.
until then i will let you in on some goals for this year.
1. create a budget. and stick to it. at least for spring. for this month or like two weeks i am going to track my spending and then see where my money goes, because with my new apartment i know that i will have so many unexpected expenses...
2. not be negative. my mom says i am so negative, but i am not sure when that is, but i danno it offended me that she said that, but then again is that me be negative again? i danno, but i am wearing a negative hairtie. every time i am negative i have to switch wrists. so far i haven't been able to go one day. studies prove that it takes 21 days to form a habit, my goal is not to switch the band for 21 days. this one might take all year but i am willing. my grandma is doing it with me. we are keeping each other accountable.
3. read more. of everything. one of the seminars at indy christmas conference talked about reading the same passage in the bible every day for a month. so i have picked Psalms 84 for the month of january. i cant wait to see how god opens up my eyes through this passage. who knows what february will bring.
4. write more. like love letters, faraway friends letters, letters to everyone and about everything.
5. not put people.god.myself.life. in a box. there is so much god can do without us putting him in a box.
6. cook!
i think thats it. oh yeah loose 45 lbs. haha no i am just kidding. but i am going to work out but its not going to be a resolution or anything just to get healthy.

anyways. this christmas break has been surprising less awkward that i was expecting. again i am putting my family in a box. i danno i have been lots of things happen and people growing.

update in a few with PICTURES... be excited!
