New Years Resolutions

So I haven't really told anyone about my New Year resolutions. But just so you all I know I do have a few. I didn't think I'd have any but then I started thinking about how I would like to improve and I came up with these...

1. I want to be more like my dad

2. I want to cook more and better

3. I want to keep to my budget and save more money

and 

4. I want to pay off our truck and get out of debt

Most are not to specific, and that's because if I make it specific I might actually have to do something. lol jk. the real reason is because I might need to interpret things differently during the year, so that I can continually work on them. The only real specific one is the last one, and that's cause well both Ricky and I want to get the truck paid off this year and to over all just be debt free like the prophets have encouraged us to. 

Now because I feel like it, and because I'm really enjoying typing right now, I'm going to tell you the background for where I came up with these. :) So if you don't care or don't wanna know, you can stop reading......

NOW!

Starting with the first one, I thought of that one, because of a conversation I had with a few of my siblings. We were talking about my dad, and how much he's still apart of our lives, and just who was the most like him. I'm not going to say who we thought was, I'm just going to say that it wasn't be but seeing dad in this sibling made me want to be more like him too, so that I could have him in my daily life still, even though he's gone. 

Moving on to number two.

I got to spend alot of time with my little brother, who is planning on becoming a chef, and opening his own bakery. So he is almost always making something, and I was definitely spoiled while I was home, so I got a few of his recipes and decided I would try them out and really just expand my cooking skills to include more variety and to get better at cooking in general.

The third one comes from me read a blog written, not really by my friend per-say, cause I've only met her once, but I really enjoy her blog because, well she let's me read it, she updates it regularly, and the whole point of her blog is to help others learn new ways to save money. She's writing about her and her families experiences in trying to make it through vet school without going into debt. It's pretty amazing at how well she is able to do it and just how much she saves in such easy ways. If you want to see it for your self's click here on  The coupon basics to see the site.

 The forth and final resolution I've already kind of explained so I wont say too much about it, except that it's one Ricky and I are sharing and working toward together. Not that he isn't for helping me on the other 3, but this is one he's really adamant about making the 4th one happen. So I know we're going to get that one done!
