I realize its February 10th, but I'd like to share our New Year's Resolutions with the world. We set the goals pretty high!
- Get out of debt fast! Using the Dave Ramsey idea, of course. Josh has a minor obsession with Dave. Luckily for us, there is a workshop starting at the beginning of March here at Ft. Hood. I think Josh was the first person to sign up!
- Finish school! This one is strictly for me, Amanda. Two more semesters, that's all. I can do this, I can do this!
- Get back in shape, and stay in shape! With Josh being in Command, and myself working all day and going to school all night, we had a hard time finding time to exercise last year. As a result we were not happy with the way we looked. This year will be different. Since January 2nd, I have been working out six days a week and am loving the results. Doing a mix of cardio and weight lifting. My serious obsession is RPM. We love going to the gym together too, I feel like its a date sometimes. Its nice having Josh beside me cheering me on and vice versa.
- Have a better relationship with God! We usually do pretty good at attending church every Sunday, but if we miss one week, its easy to miss the next week, and the next, and so on. I don't feel like its necessary to attend church to have a relationship with God, but it definitely helps me get in a better place. I've been trying to read a little from the Bible each day and pray more and harder.
- Spend more time together! Not just time, quality time. Sitting beside each other watching Netflix does not really count as quality time, to us. The gym feels like quality time, as does cooking together, date nights, and even riding in the care together. This one is easy, for now, but when the deployment comes finding a minute to sit down and talk will be hard on both sides.
That's all for now. Not a bad first blog. -- Amanda
