10 Years from now!

In fashion with Shannon from Fort Cox, I, too, am making a 10 year down the road entry. In ten years, I will be 29 years old, about to turn the big 3-0 in 2 months and 20 days. Sigh. But to make becoming this old a little bearable, I will have an 18 year old son about to graduate! Wow, that will make me feel really young being only 30 when he graduates! Probably stressing about paying for college and raising our other children ages 9, 7, and 5. My baby will have been in school for two years at this point and I will be a homeschooling mama. Jon will be 35 (haha!) and be in the United States Army for 16 years! Hopefully a W3 at this time at least, and we will have seen some amazing places! I will have a strong holding blog, a nice clean house, and a homecooked meal on the table nightly. I will be going strong with my handsome Warrant Officer loving and living life. We will more than likely live on post, in officer housing! I will be an active member in my church attending every Sunday and my kids will love the Lord with all their hearts! :) Griffon will be an old dog of 10 years and Bella will be 12. I can see me now...pulling freshly baked cookies out of the oven, supper in the crockpot, kids running around in the back yard with the dog and their dad, while I finish up the cleaning and soon go out with them to enjoy this August day. Ahhh, I can't wait.

New Year Resolutions.

I have never been one big on New Year Resolutions, mainly for the fact that I can never last past the first week, and that is a bit depressing lol. But this year, being a wife and all, I have decided to start making them...only to change me into the person I want to be when Jon and I have our own family. Here it goes.

1. Stereotypically, lose weight. Not too much though. Tone I would like to say. I like having a more "full" figure than skinny, but I do NOT like having pudge hanging over my jeans. That is a basic no-no and that NEEDS to be fixed.
2. Be better at blogging. I started this blog to give time to recording Jon and I's first years and years to come of marriage and such, so I need to start.
3. No more cursing. Its a horid habit that I really need to cut. There is no reason for any of that to come out of my mouth when there are perfectly more acceptable things to say.
4. More quiet time and making Church a priority. I have found an AWESOME church and it has the BEST people. You can totally tell God is there when you walk through the doors, but lately I have been really 'lax about getting through those doors. I am going to be spending quiet time with God everyday and praying. Along with church. I am making it my mission to not miss church at ALL this year. We'll have to see how I do. I could use some prayers ;)
5. Be a better wife. In the few months Jon and I have been married, I have learned so much about myself and he and I together, as a unit, than I could have ever imagined. I plan on growing on those findings and developing a beautiful realtionship with my husband.
6. Keep a better house. I do not want to let my house get out of control like it so often does. I have had times when I seriously sit in the middle of the room and cry because I do not know where to start! I have developed a plan for this and it WILL work!
7. Eat more at home. I gained SO much weight from eating out it is ridiculous. Also, what is a more comforting way to say I love you to your husband than to cook him an amazing dinner, right? I started the New Year with my Chicken and Dumplings in the slow cooker. Yummm.
8. Be a wiser spender. Being the wife, and eventually the SAHW, I will be in charge of finances and making sure things are bought when needed and bills are paid. In order to do that, I need to actually have the money to do it with!

Wow, I think eight is quit enough!
Happy New Years!!
