This Happy Place

This is the start of 2013, hopefully this year will be great, even better than last year.  There is, after all, always room for improvement.  I know that most people think that 2012 wasn't the greatest, however my family welcomed a second bundle of joy and we were fortunate enough to go to Disneyland, which our 5 year old really enjoyed as well as go on a family road trip to Wisconsin.  So I'm going to say improvement.

I'm sure you're wondering who I am.  I'm Rachel, mother to two beautiful and energtic little boys, ages 5 years and 8 months.  I'm currently a full time student, but I'll be graduating in May, Lord willing and otherwise I'm a homemaker.  My husband is in the Air Force, thus making me a military wife.  I love this crazy life, and believe me, it's crazy.  Lately I'm occupying my time becoming a better cook, so I'm sure I'll be sharing those experiences on here, but my main reason for beginning this blog is to better document my children's lives.

I typically don't make New Years Resolutions because I know I won't keep them, however this year I am determined to better myself and I figured if I'm going to make one I should make a few.  So I decided on 5! Go big or go home, right?  I typed them up and put them in my new binder, part of the resolutions, and now I'll share them on here.

2013 Resolutions

1. Get, and stay, organized

2.  Maintain a meal plan and try at least 1 new recipe a month

3.  Workout at least 3 times a week

4.  Start a blog and post daily

5.  Keep the house tidy

Most of these are going to be really difficult for me, but I have a feeling blogging and working out 3 times a week will be the easiest (not easy, just easier than the others).  Mainly because I have a lot of things to document, since I have an infant, and I recently got a membership to the YMCA and I have 3 workout buddies and we've been pretty good about going to the gym multiple times a week.  

Anyway, thanks for visiting Our Happy Place!
