Two...

Me- 

- new schedule. Making sure I survive my days by making my life NOT all Genny centric. it's tough... 

- Read two books for me. i did it January, but January also had 2 extra days AND didn't have any visits from Lucas... Maybe i'll choose 2 short books. :) 

- Friendships. i need to work on this. My three closest friends live nowhere near here... I miss them. I need to focus on building closer friendships. 

- Small Academy awards get together... I'm excited. 

- personal writing... this has got to improve. since it's a matter of days before Lucas arrives, i figure i'm going to exhibit grace on myself for this... I once heard that if you truly want to be writing, you will be. While I believe it, i also know i TRULY want/need to be- and I'm not. 

- smash book... 

- start working through the Writer's Book of Days again... I need the diving board.

Us- 

- Lucas is coming home for leave. CAN NOT WAIT... 

- GREAT movies coming out this month. {!!!}

- good conversations, with friends... good conversations with our family... 

- celebrating the twelfth birthday of my beautiful niece. 

- board games. Our lives need more board games. 

- Electronicless evenings. 

- cell phone less dinners. 

Heart- 

- I've found I am getting easily frustrated with my mom and my sister. i really need to work on that without tearing down the vitally constructed boundaries that are there for my sanity. 

- Getting more involved in our church. 

- continuing to volunteer in our community. 

- patience... it's good for my heart, I hear. And though my physical heart is fine, my soul-heart needs more patience... and a slower acceleration rate to anger. 

Home- 

- there is a bad sort of stressful, hurtful unrest that settled down over our home. For a few reasons the past week has seen a release in that but i am going to work towards making sure that this pattern continues. 

- we have a cool entry way project that i'm hoping we'll get done this month. SUPER excited about it! 

- entertain once or twice. 

Health-

- our quest to eat whole has been a good one. It's amazing how much better we feel, in various ways. Less headaches, more consistent energy. The one thing that is really interesting is that we hungry a lot more... I'm guessing that's a good thing. 

- water. loving water being a part of our time together. Swimming, play... It's been great. 

- more tea. 

- yoga. Not just talking about yoga. 

- dancing... the Ellen kind. Whenever possible. 

- speaking of dancing- learn the shuffle... 

Love- 

- we don't do the romantic Valentines thing. i think it's ridiculous actually. But, we will have a date night in February and i'm excited for that. 

- we're currently reading through the Sacred Marriage devotional, and I love it. 

- In January life circumstances led us to a lot of quality conversations... I'm grateful to see this pattern continuing. 

- truly kiss, daily. 

- continue finding ways to respect him.
