New Year's Goals

I was looking over some of our goals from last year and wanted to report back on them and write down some of the goals we're working towards for 2013.

Goals from 2012:

1. Steve to finish his Bachelor's Degree at the University of Utah---DONE!!! He just finished a couple weeks ago but will officially walk in the Spring when they have the commencement.

Yeah, all done w/ that portion of his education!

2. Steve to also start taking prereqs to get prepared for PA school--Working towards now

3. Me to finish my MBA--DONE!!! Graduation was June 30, 2012

4. Me to get a promotion at work--We decided to hold off on this after getting pregnant since I was finishing my Master's Degree and after having the baby I didn't want to spend more time in the office, I'd rather come home and be w/ Nyles and Steve.

5. Go on a family trip, most likely Hawaii--Done!!! Went to Hawaii in May 2012

Diamond Head hike overlooking Waikii

Luau at Polynesian Cultural Center

Personal Tour of Kauai Island

Hula Pie, so very yummy!

6. Continue to serve faithfully in our callings--Definitely still striving towards this. Steve is still a branch missionary and I'm the Relief Society President. Though we've had lots of people move in and out over the past 3 1/2 yrs, at least our callings have been consistent ;)

7. Continue to save and add to our emergency funds--Still working on this, not doing too bad but can always improve

8. To enjoy more time with family--Hopefully did this last year and are still working to do this for this year. We actually get together w/ Steve's family at least once a month, which is nice (unfortunately we haven't had a family pic in a while though).

My side of the family except Rose and girls

9. And one more, Start a family--Done!!! Nyles joined our family on August 12, 2012. We feel so blessed to have him in our family. We love his soooo much!
