…2012 has a lot to live up to. So I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about what I can do to make 2012 a good year. And I finally came up with some things. Here are a few.
- Visit 12 places I have never visited before. Yes, this is open to anything. In or out of the country. If I make it out of the country, fantastic. But if I don't, due to funding, that is okay. There are plenty of places around here or within 300 miles that I have never been to and would to see. (ie. Bryce Canyon, Cabelas)
- Make 12 new recipes. I know. Not to difficult for me. But I want a few things that are easily accomplish-able. I will add they have to be recipes that I love and want to rave about.
- Meet 12 new people. This shouldn't be too hard.
- Reconnect with 12 old people. So, if you have a random blast-from-the-past that looks a lot like me, you'll know why.
- Run 12 miles. All at one time. Maybe more than once. We’ll see.
- Learn 12 new skills. I didn't say perfect. But I will be learning.
- Learn 12 new things. Facts, events, cultures, history. The options are endless
- Read the Book of Mormon 12 times. I thought of this one today. And felt this was a challenge I really should do. Then I realized I was already 15 days behind. I need to get going.
- Read 12 books that I already own. Several times I have told myself that I am not allowed to buy any more books until I have read a few that I already own, but just like a child who goes out to play after hour of being grounded I come home with a new or used book.
- Read 12 nonfiction books. Double-dipping is completely legal. I own many unread nonfiction.
- Discover 12 new loves. For example on my mission I discovered I really like cilantro and lime. I always knew I liked football. This last year I realized it was true love.
- Learn 12 new pieces on the piano.
- Finish 12 projects. This can include projects started this year or ones I started five years ago. Twelve will be done by the end of the year.
- Find 12 names to take to the temple. Yes. Family history. It’s not just for old people.
- Look at this list at least 12 times.
There are a few others that were part of the brainstorm that I still trying to decide if I want to include, but this is a good start that covers my intellectual, social, physical, spiritual, emotional, creative, and culinary needs.

Sarah~ How have you never been to Cabelas?! Plan on going when we get back and cross that off your list! :)
Spain is a very cool place. Have you been? Maybe we will get lucky and that can be one of your 12 places. love Katie
