The Future

As I was reminded by my wife that I haven't submitted a blog to my site in forever, I noticed the past posts that I had on here including those regarding my new year's resolutions for 2009. I must say that as we have moved on to 2010, I failed miserably. There were a couple of key things that I put in my 2009 resolutions which included:

1. More dedication and attention to my family
2. Attention to personal health
3. Semi-annual vacations
4. Personal Savings
5. Completion of construction projects.

I have failed to spend more time with my family, in fact there was a lot of times that I was away working multiple jobs, so I am going to continue working on the family dedication which was wonderful tonight as we turned off the lights, the tv, the computers, and ate by candles and played for hours with just toys and each other. Tonight was a great night to be with family as we look outside at the white of the previous nights snow.

2. I think that I spent much of my time overlooking my health in an attempt to learn more about others health and how to fix it. I am going to work on my weight and health on a regular basis, but do it in a manner that will not overtake my life or discourage me so that I stay on track.

3. Had a great vacation with our family this year as we were able to get away from everything including the United States. Didn't make it on a second vacation, but working on it. And this goes with number 4 as well. Going to work on being debt free as quick as possible. My wonderful wife, my only current subscriber to this blog, bought me a wonderful series of text from Dave Ramsey to work on eliminating our debt to be able to do more of the stuff that we want to do. I'm in. Gotta work through the budgeting and start saving the money.

5. Got some projects done, damaged others and committed to some more. We are going to make it though.

2010 is going to be a good year at the Blevins home. Hope it will be good with you as well.
