2012 New Year's Resolutions

It is time to post the 2012 New Year's Resolutions for the Beeson Family. There are a few that are specific just to me but otherwise they apply to the whole family. I will list them and then in a year we will see how we do.

1) Visit someplace new with the children. This is always be a New Year's Resolution. The world is big so it needs to be added every year.

2) Save xxx amount of money and pay extra down on the house at least once.

3) Lose 15 pounds. This is just for me because my husband could actually stand to gain 15 pounds. I figure two more years of this goal will get me to my wedding weight. Three years of this goal would get me back to my drivers license!

4) Invite more people over to the house. We are overall, homebodies. So why not bring friends to us! We love to entertain. Now we just need to make it a habit.

5) Go on a date night at least once a month.

6) Do not get a speeding ticket. I have added this every year for the past 7 years and so far it has worked well for me. I think I need to think about it more and more now that I am driving the kids to school.

7) Give back to someone or to a charity. We do small things like buy a family snacks on vacations, or pay for the persons drinks or food behind us in a drive thru. However, it is time to do more. I feel we are very fortunate to live the life we have and we need to remember that. Do not take it for granted. Give back.
