Changes are good!

I know I'm a little late but HAPPY NEW YEARS to you all :) I still can't believe its 2012!! Geez.. time flies, its crazy. My family and I spent the New Years at home with the rest of the family. It wasn't as crazy as last years cause fireworks are banned or you need a permit to buy/pop fireworks. SMH..it kinda sucked, but there were still fireworks going off here and there, it just wasn't as noisy as last years. lol. But all in all we had a great time with the family. We had dinner, then we just sat around and talk stories and played games until 12. When the clock hit 12, we all went out on our balcony and watch everyone pop fireworks and watch the fireworks in the sky. lol. Yes we don't pop fireworks, we never really cared for it and we never have money to buy because we would still be in recovery from the Christmas shopping. HA! So we enjoy watching others pop fireworks..lol. New years day my little family and I spent it with my in-laws. We spent the whole day in Waianae just chillin with the family. Nahleah enjoyed herself, because they have little kids she played with. She didn't want to leave, when it came time for us to leave. lol. But that's how our New years eve and day was spent. :) 

Since its a New Year, my hubby and I made a list of goals we need to IMPROVE&ACCOMPLISH :) We've got a white board in our room, and I love it, cause we wrote our goals on there, and its nice to have it right there, to where we wake up and see it every single day to remind us. Our number 1 goal is to make it ETERNITY, so far we are on the right track and getting very close. :) The second would be to BE ON TIME TO CHURCH, last year our church started at 8 am, so we were always late to church, this year there's no excuse because church now starts at 10 am :) Third is to pay our TITHING, something we struggled to do last year. When we get paid, we get so caught up with the BILLS and  LIFES NECESSITIES that we forget to pull out our tithing..I know so TERRIBLE! So this year the first thing we do when we get paid is to pull out our TITHING. I have a very strong testimony and faith in paying our tithing, so I will be reminding the hubby constantly every pay check. :) Fourth is GETTING INTO SHAPE..but on our board it says EAT HEALTHY&EXERCISE lol. My hubby and I made a deal to workout together to Insanity Asylum. It looks so hard but we are both determined to "Get Healthy" again. lol I'm excited and a little nervous to start. And last but not least, our last goal is "LOVE MORE and FIGHT LESS". This is for us three (hubby, nahleah and I) lol. Last year we would argue over the smallest thing and it would escalate into something really big. We gotten a lot better now, but before it was just too crazy. I'm telling you ever since we got closer to go to the Temple, things got a little more harder. We argued more then anything. I didn't realize it until it got closer to Christmas. One night I told my husband "You know we argue a lot now, its kinda sad and depressing. I think Satan is working extra hard to keep us from reaching Eternity." And he agreed. We talked that night about trying to change, cause sometimes our daughter would be right there when we argue, and that's not good. Plus she also needs to learn how to control her anger tantrums. I swear she's hard headed just like her Grandma (My mom) hahaha. SMH...she drives me crazy...lol. But yess that's what we will be working on this year, to better our family and our future!! I hope you all have a PROSPEROUS New Year :)
