New Years Resolutions for 2009

I have not met a new year with resolutions in a long, long time. This year, maybe I have gone overboard, but I have made a list of resolutions, and all of them seem very reachable. So here they are:

I resolve to find more ways to perform service for others, to make an effort to ask others if there is anything I can do, and to try and do more anticipating of opportunities to help others.

I resolve to join a gym (already done!) and work out after work a mimimum average of twice a week (which would be over 100 trips in 2009)

I resolve to take the certification test to become a "Microsoft Certified Professional" before the end of February (only 5 weeks for this one)

I resolve to give my wife at least 4 completely free weekends this year, where she can go off somewhere on her own (while I keep Mac) (This is a minimum)

I resolve to go on at least three camping trips - and at least one of those will be just Mac and me.

I resolve to learn to cook at least three different complete meals - and (gulp) try to cook at least one night a week (details to be arranged)

I resolve to lose (at least) 25 lbs this year.

I resolve to try and arrange at least two "date nights" a month with my wife. I would like to have one once a week if possible, but will try to arrange at least one every two weeks.

I resolve to try to keep my things at home tidy

I resolve to break the habit of biting my finger nails.

I resolve to try and organize some Family Home Evenings regularly.

I resolve to go to the temple at least three times (It requires a five hour drive to Switzerland)

I resolve to try and limit my intake of caffeine

I resolve to be more social at work.

And lastly, I resolve to try and be more independent emotionally, and not go pestering my wife whenever I feel insecure over a lack of communciation - to trust her love for me, and to trust her to communicate anything that needs communicating

So those are my resolutions for this year.
