the beginning of a new beginning

Happy New Year's!  Isn't is exciting!  We are now on to 2011!  It seems so crazy to me.  Five years ago I was starting my second semester at college.  Last year I was starting my last semester of my undergrad.  This year I'm starting my second semester as a grad student, I have a husband, I have wonderful family, and Dan and I have a new car! And things couldn't get better.  It amazes me every day when I wake up to realize how far I've come over the last few years since I've been out on my own.  I feel like my life is really starting to change and I'm truly becoming a grown up.  And it doesn't scare me nearly as much as I thought it would.

Dan and I have been talking about some of our goals for the next while and what we are going to accomplish.  I think its important to share your goals with other people so they can help you achieve them.  So here goes:
-Get in better shape.  (Which includes getting lower BMIs for both of us.)  We are already putting good use to our Wii Fit but we're gonna step it up.
-Do better in school this semester.  Not that we did that bad last semester, but I know both of us could have done better than we did.
-Finish reading the Book of Mormon together.  We're really close so we just need to finish it!
-Read the New Testament together. 
-Pay off our new car ASAP! :-)

There are a few more but those are the most important ones right now.  Now to make my blog a little more interesting than a bunch of words, I'll add some pictures!
