Hey friends and family! Everything is going well with us. Me and Rosemarie are doing fine. We have been busy with work, church, and baby. We have also been busy preparing for Estela's first birthday party. We still have alot of time, so I ain't trippin. It will be happening on Feb.21. So we have about a month left before the big shabang! It will be a good time to see my family together again.
It is the 22nd of January and we have still kept all of our new year resolutions. This is longer than last years stint. I believe I quit most of my resolutions last year by the 10th or 11th and/or stop caring....I am such a slacker. Some of the more important resolutions, from the long list of resolutions created by us, that I am super-duper focused on this current year are listed below. Here are my top 5 'B's.
1. Be a Better Father - be more actively engaged in my fatherly duties (diaper duty, reading to baby, playing with her, etc.) Make sure that I set aside Daddy/Daughter time. Quality time. Watching ESPN together doesn't count. Luckily, Estela has a wonderful mother...lol....fareal!!
2. Be a Better Husband - match my wifes passion to keep that love life burning. I need to find more creative ways to be romantic and considerate. Continue having our weekly Date Night. I also have a tendency to not appreciate all that my wife does for me. Stop being lazy. I need to lessen the arguments. Estela is watching!!!
3. Be more active in Church - we need to attend ALL of our meetings ALL the time (all 3 hours). Magnify my calling more effectively. We need to read our scriptures nightly and have FHE more often. Be more consistent in having family prayer every night. Try my best to finish my Visiting teaching list. Share the gospel to my friends. Encourage each other to be better.
4. Be better with our funds/Save that $$$ - These are tough times. We need to be better with our money and more frugal in our daily routine. Stop eating out so much and buy more food to cook at home. Stop buying shoes and other useless junk. Prepare for the future. Try to convince Rosemarie to stay home and not work. She can stay home to take care of Estela and we would save money on daycare...hint..hint...babe. Continue to move money in Estela's savings account. Improve and expand our food storage content. We can't live off of twinkies, ding dongs, water and cup of noodles....buy items of substance, like rice, tuna, corn pops, hot chocolate and ritz crackers...lol.
5. Be committed to shed the pounds - we need to eat better and exercise more often than we do. Estela needs a healthy mama and papa to raise her. We need to be more aware of our calorie intake and we need to burn it out...you know, jumping jacks, pushups, sit-ups, hot steamy sex, etc....hahahazzzz...whatever works!
We will see how this process goes. It is a Day-to-Day commitment. I hope we have the patience and fortitude to maintain during the tough times and the days that we want to quit or give up. We can do it Rosemarie....1.2.3.TEAM...lol...that was kinda wack!!!
