Day 1: New Year Resolutions
I don't really like the word "resolutions". Instead, I prefer goals, so that is what I am going with. I have several goals for 2011 (check out the top bar on my blog under 2011 Goals for a complete list), but I will just list some of the most important ones here.
*Lose weight and become healthier. This one is my most important. I have been carrying a lot of extra weight since I had my son (over 2 year ago...) and it's time to do something about it.
*Study the Bible more. I really want to make sure that I study the Bible everyday. Plus, I want to schedule more frequent family studies.
*Complete teacher certification and find a full-time teaching position. Anyone who is a frequent reader of my blog knows that I am about to begin student teaching after 6 1/2 years as a stay at home mommy. This is the last step until I am fully certified to teach elementary school in the state of Texas. I hadn't planned on working outside of the home until both of my children were in school, but I finished a lot sooner than I thought and have to do the student teaching now. (I'll hold off on finding a full-time job if it is just too traumatic for my children) It is both exciting and scary all at the same time. It will be, without a doubt, a huge change for my entire family. Please keep us in your prayers while we transition through this new chapter in our lives.
*Find and keep balance in life. Since I will have a lot more on my plate this year, I want to ensure that I make time for what is really important to me in life: God and my family. We are a busy family with a lot of obligations, so I want to scale down where we can so we can spend time together.
These are the things that I am working on this year. Hope you meet all of your goals for 2011 too!

I'm a new-ish teacher and had a great time with student teaching. Its a ton of work, but so worth it!! Can't wait to come back and read more about your teaching experiences.
Thanks for linking up :)
Happy New Year!!
Thanks for participating :)
Good luck with your teaching this year. I know that you will be such an awesome teacher. My husband is a teacher and I really admire the patience that it takes to be a teacher.
Have a great New Year!
Best of luck you can accomplish all of them!
Great list. Best wishes in the new year,
Great list! I especially like your last point of finding and keeping balance in life. That is something I for sure need to work on! Good luck!
