Big Little Moment #23-4 Year Wedding Anniversary June 29

On June 29th, it will mark 4 years of marriage for me and B!  Wow, 4 years doesn't seem like that long, but boy did a lot happen in 4 years.





We have been so blessed with wonderful friends and family who have continued to support us. 

Here's to many more years of adventures and milestones.  Thank you B for all that you do and all that you are.  There is no one else I'd rather be beside. To my first, only, and forever love, Happy Anniversary!

Big Little Moment #22-2012 Goals

I can't believe how fast time flies!  It's 2012 already and that means....I'll be leaving my twenties behind.  Yes, I'll be turning 30!  Haha, I never thought this day will come.  But I'm super excited now.  There's a lot of change coming up in my 30th year.  So much so that I feel like I'm starting all over again.  It's scary at times because I really don't know what lies ahead of me.  One thing is for sure, I have to have faith in the plan God has set forth for me.  So here goes, my goals for 2012.

Health
  • Lose 15 pounds at get back to my pre pregnancy weight.
  • Eat a better diet.  I feel like my pregnancy cravings never went away even after giving birth.  I love junk food.  I want to eat more natural foods, veggies, and fruits.
  • Sleep earlier.
  • Take more vitamins.
  • Not get sick as much.  I get sick a lot from the kids.  This really puts a damper in my training. 
Fitness
  • Complete the Warrior Dash in March.
  • Set a personal record of 1:10 for the Great Aloha Run (8.1 mile run).
  • Set a personal record of a sub 4:30 Honolulu Marathon.
  • At least try to get the ball rolling on running a Boston Marathon qualifying time.
Spiritual
  • Try to start my day with devotions at least 3 days out of the week.
  • Attend life group more regularly.  Maybe even start one of my own for working moms or teachers.
  • Get baptized with B.
  • Do a baby/children's dedication for the girls.
  • Strengthen my faith in God's plan.
  • Serve in a ministry with Bernard.
  • Pray more for those I feel that have wronged me.
Emotional
  • Set clear boundaries for myself.
  • Reach out more to friends/family in times of need.  I'm not alone.
  • Not be afraid of bothering people, just pick up the phone and call. 
  • Make at least 5 new friends.
  • Join a running/training group.
  • Look for the positive in things no matter what the circumstances.
  • Better time management.
Relationships
  • Carve out more quality time with B.
  • Date nights regularly.
  • Be more patient with B.
  • Spend more time with those I cherish.
Professional
  • Grow in my career as an educator.
  • Get the ball rolling on my Master's Degree and National Certification.
  • Take more PD courses to fine tune my teaching craft.
  • Have a healthy balance of work and family.
