Last week for FHE, Dustin and I sat down and wrote down some "Goals" we have for the year. Like most people, I don't like setting "New Year Resolutions" because you are expected to change overnight and like most people, I only stick to it for a day. So we decided on some Goals that we are going to work on through out the year. This was a great way to look back at 08 and evaluate our lives and lifestyle to decide what we need to work on. I told Dustin I was going to print and frame our list to remind us every day but I wanted to post it here too. I feel that if I put it where others can see, I will be held more accountable. We set both individual goals and family goals.
Family:
Study scriptures together each morning.
Attend the Temple at least once monthly.
Have weekly meaningful FHE.
Pay all debts off no later than December (not including car and mortgage).
Volunteer for service at least every 3 months.
Julia:
Lose 5 lbs a month until I hit my goal weight (Includes no soda, candy and going to gym 3-4 x's weekly).
Learn & Practice the Piano 1 hour weekly minumum.
Make time for Personal Prayer and Scripture study.
Get Scuba Certified.
Build up personal bank account.
Dustin:
Practice the Recorder 2 hours weekly minumum.
Practice the Piano 2-3 x’s weekly minumum.
Go to the gym/workout 3-4 x’s weekly.
Make time for Personal Prayer and Personal Scripture study.
Get Scuba Certified.
If you're not setting resolutions, I recommend you at least think of something you want to set as a realistic goal. If you achieve it sooner than later, set another one. I am a firm believer that it's healthy to have realistic goals. It gives you something to work towards and helps you feel better about yourself once you reach them. What are some goals or resolutions you have??

Good job Jules.
Those are some good ones...scuba certified...are you going somewhere this year?? I did a goal thing a couple of months ago, but I like the idea of putting them somewhere you can see them on a regular basis. I'm going to have to open up my journal and see how we've done so far...
good goals guys. keep at it.
love ya
So far I haven't kept to any of our goals. I need to find the motivation to do it. I don't do so well at the whole goals thing. I don't know why. Way to go on making them. Are you guys sticking to them?
