a review of last year's resolutions

I thought posting my resolutions on the internet would hold me more accountable and I figured I should at least review them and see how I did.

1. Be a nicer person - this one is kind of hard to judge. I tried to be nice and I know I'm not always. I think this can always be a work in progress.
2. Have more patience - another super difficult one. I am not a patient person. I will continue to try to let the small things go.
3. Drink more water - depends on the day. 
4. Read more with Lukey - success! He LOVES books and being read to. I think if he had his way he would sit in my lap all day and read book after book. I have many memorized at this point. I would say I probably read him 10-20 books a day (often the same book over and over and over again). 
5. Start baking regularly again (and possibly even blogging about it) - total fail.
6. Spend more one on one time with Pete - not so much. It is hard when you have a little one. Babysitters aren't cheap and it is way easy to put everyone else first. I'll have to keep working on this one.
7. Run a 5K - success! Ran a 5K in June the See Jane Run 5K with Lucas in the stroller. I then ran a 6 mile mud run in August, two half-marathons and another 5K. 
8. More frequent walks with Willa and Lukey - we walk or run together almost every day.
9. Keep in contact with family and friends - working on it. 
10. Write more letters (at least once a month to Mom and Oma and Opa) - working on it. I've been calling more and writing less.
11. Keep both blogs going - fail and success. This blog not so much. Lucas' blog totally although I ran out of steam after posting every day for a year. I would like to continue to post on his blog.   
12. Meet new friends/join some Mommy groups - success. I have found quite a few new friends here in Idaho and still have my friends back in California. Lucas is making friends too and we have fun on playdates.
13. Spend less money and save more - been a really tough year and we are hoping that 2012 will be a bit kinder to us.
14. Do a yoga class/swimming class with Lukey - we tried one of each plus a music class. 
15. Be supportive and helpful to Pete - I'm going to say I have been.
16. Continue breastfeeding - we just stopped. 17 months. I would say success!
17. More sewing projects and get better at crocheting - made some pillows and I've been crocheting hats and blankets.
18. Read more books - success!
19. Start a garden - had my first garden this past summer. Lots and lots of tomatoes and zucchini. Built two more garden boxes so this next year I will have an even better garden. I can't wait.
20. Feel confident in a bikini again - lots of running equals success!

I need to come up with some new ones for this coming year. I feel pretty good with what I have accomplished this past year and I am so looking forward to what this new year brings.
