New year, NEW us.

Like everyone else Thomas and I sat down and made a list of New Years resolutions. Surprisingly we 70% of our resolutions were very very similar. After thinking about it we thought the best thing to do with our resolutions is to type them out and keep them someone were we look often. We decided we would post them on out blog and put another copy on the mirror in my bedroom; this way we see the list all the time.

We also broke them into 5 different lists.

• Personal Goals
• Couple Goals
• Personal “NEED to-do”
• Couple “NEED to-do”
• What we need from each other.

So.. here they are.
