January 1, 2013

2012 was a great year.

&

2013 is a year of great promise.

2012 - The Highlights.

• Performed in my first Jive show.
• Attended All-State for the second and last time.
• Had the best EFY group ever.
• Fell in love with my girls as a YCL at Girls' Camp.
• Went to Disneyland.
• Transferred to Twin Falls High School
• Met many new, amazing people.
• Improved myself physically, mentally, and spiritually.

2013 - What to expect.

• Become an official adult.
• Perform in my senior recital/senior project.
• Have my last Jive show.
• Graduate.
• Welcome Matt home.
• Go to Europe with the Utah Ambassadors of Music.
• Attend BYU.

That is what happened and what is going to happen.

But here are my resolutions, or what I hope to happen.

2013 - Resolutions.

• Read my scriptures and pray every day, in order to help grow my testimony and spiritually prepare me for a mission.
• Attend the temple as often as possible, every Wednesday morning when it's open, and while I'm there, pray and ponder spiritual things.
• Receive my patriarchal blessing to help guide me in my post-graduation decisions.
• Run or swim at least once a week, hopefully more, and eat healthier to help me lose weight and become more fit physically for a mission.
• Play my instruments more often to improve as much as I can in case I decide to become a music major.
• Procrastinate a lot less.  I won't be able to completely rid myself of procrastination, but I can try to rid myself of most of it.
• Along with blogging as often as I do, write in my journal at least once a week with more personal and spiritual things to remember.
• Be kinder and less sarcastic.
• Always remember who I am and that I am loved.  I am a daughter of God.  Don't get down on myself and be negative and depressed.

I think these resolutions are reasonable and reachable.

And you may have noticed that for the past couple years I have had the resolution of having my first kiss, but this year, that isn't one... you know what that means? ;)  Haha, just kidding.  I'm still kiss-less.  I'm just thinking that since I have little to no control over when my first kiss is, it's a stupid resolution.  It will come when it comes.  And if it comes this year, then all the better. :)

Semi-Resolutions (things that I hope to happen this year, but may not):

-First kiss

-CALL JOSHUA FINCH.  Just do it.  Like today or tomorrow.

-Apply/audition to be a Nauvoo performing missionary.

-Audition for the X Factor online.

-Go on lots of dates down at BYU.

-Become only overweight (no longer obese) by Wii Fit standards.
