Resolutions--It's update time!

So quick update on my New Years' Resolutions. Take a look at what I did last Thursday/Friday:

That's right! After 2 days of classes, one multiple choice test and a skill pass off, I have my TNCC Certification! So check that off the list! Still working on the others...stay tuned!

Resolutions

So I mentioned in a previous post that I would be making some New Years' Resolutions. I've been trying to think of 5 that are attainable....for me that seems to be key. No more lofty resolutions, only those that I can accomplish and those that are actually something that I want to achieve. Here's what I have come up with!

1. Run a half marathon
2. Learn how to use Photoshop-- I got it for Christmas and I am thoroughly overwhelmed! So much to know!
3. Get my TNCC (Trauma Nurse Critical Care) certification
4. Be better at documenting events--blogging, taking pictures, video, etc.
5. Travel. I'm going to leave this one open for interpretation...I have a few ideas though :)

Speaking of resolutions and New Years, here are some pictures of how Heath and I celebrated. It was a quiet New Years for us since I had to work New Years Day--holiday pay. It pays. Literally.

So we tried out Heath's new deep fryer--yum, right? Absolutely. We fried cheese, zucchini, sweet potatoes, and green bell peppers. Plus the ever traditional sparkling cider!

We had a good time, Heath even woke me up for midnight--as requested! Here's to 2011!

Hello 2009!

So, a friend of mine did this. She made goals (her's was 22 by 22) seeing as I am about to turn 23 (January 18th for those of you who care or forgot) I've decided to do 24 by 24. I even have a head start, so no excuses, right? So here they are:

1. Go running twice a week, every week.
2. graduate from BYU
3. participate in a 5K--preferably for a foundation, i have my eye on the Susan G. Komen Foundation on May 10th here in SLC.
4. Post on this blog more, like at least once a month--ill try not to bore you...
5. Get my first real job!
6. floss my teeth like once a week at least--sorry if that grosses you out.
7. Go to the temple at LEAST once a month
8. actually hang pictures on the wall and finish decorating my apartment
9. make a study plan for the NCLEX
10. Take the NCLEX and rock it.
    
11. Call people more...family, joanna, taylor, beka...there are too many people I keep too little of contact with....
12. Read a book for leisure. I am taking suggestions...
13. Make some ground on my genealogy.
14. Learn how to make family names temple ready and finishing their temple work.
15. Go to Lake Tahoe...let's face it, its beautiful and it would be fun :)
16. Go to Guatemala. Heath says Lake Atitlan is even prettier than Lake Tahoe, plus it would be cool to see his old mission stomping grounds.
17. See Tiffany after she gets home from her mission!!! (MAY!)
18. Do my visiting teaching EVERY month.
19. Take my car to get a tune up (oil, breaks, ya know)
20. plan at least one other meal a week, besides Sunday dinner :)
21. be able to do 10 push-ups without my arms being so sore its ridiculous....it really is pathetic
22. Get more sleep (at least approach 8-9 hours a night...)
23. Learn how to use photoshop better
24. enjoy the outdoors more--hiking, bike riding, skiing, etc.

So there you go! My plans over the next year and 18 days! I'll keep you updated as to how I am doing.

I also saw this link on another blog. It was kind of interesting, hope you enjoy!

Oh, and Happy New Year!
