Ok, well, seeing as how it's the third of January and I still haven't done a review, I'd better do one.
Here's the rundown on the list of resolutions and results of 2010:
1) Prayer & Scriptures Daily ~ I did really well on the Prayer aspect, however, I need to seriously rededicate myself to Scriptures daily.
2) Temple attendance twice a month ~ Yeah, sadly, I didn't do this well at all. I think I maybe made it to the temple two or three times this year. Must do better.
3) Attend all Church meetings and fulfill callings ~ This one I did much better at and I plan to improve!
4) More Service ~ While I did this, I don't think I fulfilled what I set as my goal, so I will try harder.
5) Get to the gym and eat healthier ~ Right....Um....yeah, moving on....
6) Go back to school ~ See answer to #5
7) Date ~ I did this!....sort of...
8) Be possitive, confident & trust ~ I think I did better with all three of these, but again, I would have liked to do better
9) Try new things (even if I suck at them) ~ I did more of this during the year. It was hard, but I feel like I did accomplish this.
10) Travel more ~ I didn't get around to this. :( I did go to Colorado in December, but considering I have been there so often, I don't count it.
11) Stop caring what others think ~ I feel pretty good about my progress on this one
So...as you can see...sadly 2010 was not a brilliant star in my list of resolution accomplishments. BUT...I can start again fresh with the New Year!!
So what did 2010 bring for Yours Truly?
Well, on the top of my list, I passed the one year mark of Trevor being on his mission, which I know I mentioned before, so that will tell you how big a thing it was for me!
I went Snowboarding for the first time and didn't kill myself, which was a bonus! Plus, scarily enough, I want to go more and get good at it.
I had my first 29th birthday. It was probably the lowest point for me in the year. I don't deal well with birthday's for some reason, and since this was the last of the 20's, I think I got really depressed. Anyway...I got better.
I went to two concerts, Muse & Blue October! Awesome times had at both with seriously cool friends!
I did a LOT of dancing! In addition to continuing to dancing as part of the Desert Gypsy Dance Company, I took a couple of classes from a fellow dancer and pretty much danced from January through November. I was exhausted! It was great fun though!
I went on a one-day road trip with Mark, Rocio & Jeff to Moab. I thought I would die. I mean really...who looks at the equation of pigment challenged girl out in the red rocks in the sun all day long and think THAT works out well?? But with a little effort, I maintained my stunningly white palor AND made it up the hike to one of the Arches (with Rocio's help!)! Who knew I had it in me??!
I spent great times with Jeff and Emily for the Harry Potter Book Club and we finished all seven books in the series in under a year! Lots of good reading and great conversation! Definitely a highlight!
In addition to the HPBC, I did make it to some of Jeff's movie nights and The Office Thursdays, however, usually due to my dancing schedule, I had to pull back on my attendance considerably.
I said goodbye to Jeff when he moved to Texas and lost touch with a couple of good friends, but I made new awesome friends too! (*Winking at Shaun*)
Instead of dressing up for Halloween in a costume, I dressed up and went to the ballet with Shaun instead and had a great time! I look forward to more ballet with my ballet buddy!
I spent time with Chris & Stacie & the kids when they stopped in UT on their travels to AZ their new home! I had an awesome shopping date with Eliza & Lucas and Gabe was my favorite movie date! I LOVE all my kids!!
I traveled to Colorado for Christmas. It was fabulous! I was surrounded by my loved ones, reconnected with a cousin I hadn't seen in nine years and grew closer to another cousin and her daughter. And to top it off and my grandfather told us he'd like to be re-baptized by my brother when he gets home. Tender mercies of the Lord...
I was able to speak with Trevor on Christmas, which was wonderful! And I about cried when I got the email with his return flight information from Mexico!! Jan 28th!!! (it can't come soon enough!)
I did a lot more crocheting! I love to have yarn in my hands!
I didn't go see Eclipse when it came out. It took me a week or more to actually go see it.
I regretted the blond punk stripe. Lol. Actually, I don't regret doing it, but it really sucks the life out of the red color I now dye my hair, so after a while, the blond comes back without any effort. Awesome. Somethings will just haunt you for awhile....
Ok...so 2010 was a pretty good year! I can't cover everything, but it was pretty awesome!
What's up for 2011??
I have no idea really. If my New Year's celebration is any indication though...it's going to be pretty chillax! (I slept through the new year. I was great!)
I plan on picking up my bro from the airport in 24 days!! Hooray!! He's coming home!!!
I am going to travel with friends! It WILL happen!
I am going to be more positive and THINK more positively! I am going to use more assertive words like WILL, to help myself realize that anything is possible with the right attitude and the help of the Lord!
I am going to do better on my last year's resolutions. I think I am going to just go mainly off of last years list, however, I am going to add a goal to reduce the amount of time I spend watching TV. I watch too much. AND...I am going to try harder to enjoy and understand more about sports.
I'm going to dance! I'm going to celebrate turning the big 3-0!! I will take every opportunity to LIVE!
I WILL love 2011!
Here's hoping your New Year will be awesome!!! :)
