Let's focus on the positive though and talk about the goals I did achieve in 2016:
1. I did become a certified teacher in Utah. I passed the praxis! (I can't believe this was in 2016, it feels like forever ago.)
2. I did limit social media. I specifically said no more than 10 minutes a day on Facebook. I did not achieve this specific goal, however I am improving. In fact, the Facebook app is no longer on my phone and hasn't been for several weeks.
3. I did blog at least twice a month, if you count that I cheated. I only blogged once in July, but I made up for it by blogging 3 times in August.
4. Andrew and I did attend the temple at least twice a month. Again, we cheated. We only went once in November (I had a nasty cold), but we did go three times in December.
5. Andrew and I did go on a trip together with just the two of us not involving extended family. Vegas!
I tried to be extremely realistic with my goals for 2017:
Physical
- Run a 5k (after recovering from birthing a child of course)
- Find a class to attend regularly at the gym that I like
- Read the Book of Mormon
- Read the New Testament
- Read/listen to a conference talk daily
- Read at least 20 books
- Learn/find a new hobby
- Blog at least twice a month
- Floss more (I hate it, but apparently pregnancy ruins teeth)
- Go to the temple twice a month (until the baby comes) and after that once a month.
- Read 2 books together. I still have fond memories of reading "The Help" together a long time ago. Andrew can pull out quite the accents.
- Find a hobby we enjoy doing together. (Besides playing games and watching Netflix)
- Do/plan something special for our 5 year anniversary!
