A Year in Review.

So I found a list that I made at the beginning of the year and I just thought since its almost time for new resolutions I would do a quick year in review.

1. Cook 52 new things this year.... Yea I totally fell off on this. I started off the year pretty good with some new soups and during my Daniel Fast I came up with some new awesome vegetarian recipies but after the spring faded so did my time. This is something I would like to try again for 2011 with a renewed dedication I WILL do it this time around.

2. Loose 20 Pounds By Dec.... I am proud to say I lost 10. I am aiming for 20 again this coming year though!

3. Read 3 Harry Potter Books.... OK In my defense I decided to Read the Lovely Bones before I started on Harry Potter because everyone insisted that it was so wonderful....I didnt really like it at all. I understand the supposed Hype but it really just didnt do it for me. It took me FOREVER to get through it which is not typical for me. Then insert School Books. But Im 2/3 Done with HP 1 now and i should be starting HP 2 by tomorrow. Actually this is still a feasible goal for me One more week to go!

4. Read the New Testament...... This swiched into reading the entire Bible I read Genesis-Judges. SMH. Not happy about that. This year I will stick to the New Testament, Like I orginally planned (PS Whoever is looking for AWESOME reading plans go to www.youversion.com its amazing and they have BBerry and Iphone/Ipod Apps!)

5. I had a goal to pay off one of my Credit Cards this year...ACCOMPLISHED! and to raise my Credit Score to a certain range... ACCOMPLISHED!!

6. Start School full time by August ACCOMPLISHED!

7. Quit Hyatt by August for school ACCOMPLISHED!

8. Tithe Now I really shouldnt be proud of having to even add this but I rarely tithed in 2009. 2010 I would say I tithed about 60-70% of the time. The difference with this year is I decided to keep track of money made, so when I get my report from the church I can catch up. BC I think its crazy that we will play catch up with our bills or time worked at a job but not with God's Money So I promised to pay Him back.

9. I had a promise to work on certain things with the person I was seeing at the time the year turned. I can honestly say I worked on those things and became better at those said things but he is no longer in my life. So even though he isnt doesnt mean I didnt do the work to be a better Girlfriend and Potential Wife one day. So for that I will say. ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!!!!

Hope you guys enjoyed this little glimpse into my life. I would love comments from you guys.
What did you resolve to do or not do? Did you accomplish it? What would you change for this year around?

All my love
