New Year's Resolutions?

Are you a fan of these or not?  I make them every year, even though I most likely will not look at them after January, because it gives me something to look forward to and a focus for my life, at least for a while.  I've been thinking about what I want out of 2012 all week...I guess my mind is just focused on the future at the moment. 

In 2012, I want to recertify in CPR/First Aid and then get a real, grown-up teaching job.  (And sub in the meantime.)  I'm so, so, so very sick of sitting at home, even doing good things with my time.  I've applied to be a sub in the two most local school districts but there's a month-long processing time and I can't take it anymore!  :)  I miss teaching and working with kids and I just might actually explode if I don't find something soon to occupy my time in a way that actually MEANS something and CONTRIBUTES to the world.  And we could certainly use the extra income.

I also want to do Project 365.  I already have all 52 weeks' digiscrapping layouts made up, so all I have to do is take a photo each day and plop it into the layout using my image editing software.  Then we'll print it off at the end of the year.  Easy, right?  I can't wait to have this book in our ever-growing collection of photo memories.  If you want to do this, too, I can privately send you my quick pages.  I can even direct you to free software to use if you don't want to pay for Photoshop.  :)  Just leave your email in the comments section and I'll do that.

And I'd love to have the in-laws visit and actually show them a good time!  :)  Rest their worries about our lives and show them we have plenty of good things to do here, that I can in fact keep a clean home and feed Paul properly, and that we really are working towards a big move in the near future to Chicago for Paul to finish his degree and me to get my dream job.
Those are the three things I know for SURE.  Everything else is very much up in the air at the moment.  I imagine that 2012 will find us still here in West Lafayette, probably still in this apartment since we love it so much.  I'm sure my struggle to healthier living will have as many forward and backward movements as 2011 has.  I'd love to have a few personal prayers answered, but that's not really up to me. :)  I'd love to focus on dating my husband more...I've got lots of ideas but haven't put most of them into practice yet.  And I'd love to actually complete several projects found via pinterest, start up my craft club, etc...but nothing set in stone.  Yet.

So that's where I'm at right now.  Looks like 2012 will be a busy one!  :)

What about you?  What do you want for yourself and your family in the upcoming year?
