my desires for 2013

today is one of those days where i need an extra extra dose of caffeine. which may be odd considering i've been able to spend the morning in bed. our church time has changed to 1. lets be honest, it is not our most favorite time.


however.... i've been putting a lot of thought into the new year and some of the things i am hoping to accomplish. however you wish to call them - resolutions, goals, wishes.... here is a list of things i hope to check of during 2013.

-practice yoga regularly
-cook more {i'm very focused on what i am eating and the health benefits. home cooked meals is my goal even if it requires more effort and time. i honestly feel that it will be worth it.}
-manage my personal garden better {i'm determined to grow primarily if not 100% heirloom varieties. being able to harvest and preserve my harvest for the winter months = canning. and learn recipes to correlate with what is being grown in my garden.}
-gather fresh eggs from the chickens at work. {i haven't been able to convince mitch of raising chickens here at home... until i do at least i will be able to take advantages of grandpa's chickens}
-continue to nurture my marriage
-learn photoshop elements. {along with learning the program, i plant to improve my photography skills}
-continue to read more
-sew curtains for my office
-make homemade biscuits for the boys
-minimize caffeine {everyone needs  lofty goal....}
-become more happy
-be more grateful
-visit pack trials in california in april {plant show for new varieties}
-compete in the tough mudder or spartan race
-vacation to disneyland with mitch, nanna and we will be taking hope along too.

i'm sure as the year continues so will my list of goals/wishes will too.
