Goals and plans for 2011

I'm not big on making New Year's Resolutions. Typically because I break them before Valentine's Day. Around this time each year I dream, vision, plan, and make goals for the coming year. Last year I put my mind towards getting in shape. I dropped about 15 pounds, increased my activity, and drink water like a fish. Jarrod and I made goals of one date night per month, less TV, more new recipes, making new friends, and paying off debt.

Some of the goals we achieved with incredible success - we paid off all but one debt, had some awesome and creative date nights, and made delicious food all year long. We didn't cut back on TV as much as I'd like, but we did become more conscious of when it is on. This year we have new goals and dreams for 2011.

• Spend more time with family - being far from our friends and family in Dallas makes it challenging to see everyone we love more than once a year. Seeing our favorite children once a year simply doesn't work for me. Last year we went to Dallas 5 times, but they were all between the end of September and the end of December. This year I hope to spread them out some.
• Love our jobs - we love our jobs and our church so much. We plan to continue loving what we do in 2011. 
•  Expand our family - That's all I'm going to say about that right now. 
• Continue doing what works - paying off debt, budgeting, eating dinner together at the table every night, praying together, and maintaining open communication. 

I'll post some pictures from our Christmas vacation soon. What are your goals for 2011? Do you make formal resolutions?
