Happy New Year everyone! I hope y'all had a fabulous evening with those you love! I know Taft and I did. We spend the evening with both sets of parents at dinner then we got together afterwards and played some really fun games! We had our New Years kiss around 11:30 and then went to sleep! It was a great night with awesome people! I wouldn't have had it any different!
I have been thinking more and more about what I want to cross off my list in 2014. It may not seem like a huge deal to anyone but these are things I really want to accomplish in this new year. Throughout the year after I accomplish each goal I will write a short post about how I accomplished my goal. I'm also going to post a few goals that Taft and I have set together as a couple. Things we can work on every single day with each other.
My Personal Goals for 2014:
Get fit and STAY fit!
I have this serious problem...I work out for a month or two then I just suddenly stop. I just quit working out or motivating myself to keep working out. We are doing a Hansen family workout challenge, so hopefully that will keep me motivated to stay fit!
Get an A in my Anatomy Class....and all other classes of course!
Yep, I am one of those people who makes getting good grades a goal for the upcoming year. This class is supposed to be one of the hardest science classes you can take.... And guess what I am going to get an A! Taft and I are taking this class together so I have an advantage of having a live-in study buddy! Woohoo! My hubby already has a 4.0...proud wife moment :)... so it is just extra motivation for us to get an A in the class! I am really excited for this next semester!
Keep Calm and Graduate
Eeek! Graduation is in May! I couldn't be more thrilled! I am so proud of myself to have worked hard in school to graduate with my Associates within two years. I can't wait to see where this journey on education will take Taft and I next. BYU, NMSU, UVU, UofU.... the options are just pouring in.
Use Social Media to share my Testimony
I am going to try and post once a week on this blog about my beliefs as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I was really inspired by Al Fox and how she uses the media only for good. Not to bash or to hate on anything. But to spread love, joy and happiness to her followers. I LOVE that idea. I want to inspire and share with others the happiness that I have in my life!
The Hansen Duo's Goals for 2014:
Read Scriptures Every Night
Taft and I have been slacking lately about reading our scriptures. And it shows. We have noticed this difference in our relationship when we are not seeking the words of our scriptures. This year and from now on we will not miss a night of reading and writing in our journals.
NO Technology until after Scripture Study
I know you are thinking, "you guys are NUTS!" but no we really aren't. We will be able to use our laptops to do our school work but that is it. No Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Instagram or Etsy until after we read our scriptures! (This goal of ours is because of my AWFUL addiction to Social Media) Our relationship between us is ten times more important than what Susie Q has to say about Tommy. This year we will focus on us.
Workout 5 days a week
Taft and I have a goal to get fit and stay fit, together. We have really let ourselves go since we have gotten married. It is pretty pathetic. It will be easier to stay fit when you have a workout partner who motivates you! I am really excited!
Eat, drink and be healthy
No more junk! No more soda! We are going to start implementing a healthier diet into our new and upcoming year!
I just can't wait to see what new adventures our new year is going to take us on! It is going to be a great year full of opportunity and adventure! I am so thrilled to start 2014 with the man of my dreams!
