Resolutions 2015

If you can't tell by the title, this is going to be a post about my personal 2015 resolutions. It may be a month late, but better late than never right? I have never had any resolutions aside from being a better person and while that will always be on my list, I have put quite a bit of thought into what I want them to be this year.
1) I am sure you can guess it! Lose weight. Growing up, I have always had a fast metabolism and have always been so little (thank you mom!) but after having a baby, my body completely changed. I am amazed at how the body changes to support the life of a human being and I am glad I have had the opportunity to do so, but I want to be at a comfortable weight so that I can build more self confidence in myself. As of today, I am going to start working out and eating clean. Not just for myself, but so that I have the energy for my daughter and for my husband. I will try and post updates periodically, but I have decided that I will keep the before pictures until I can show off the after.
2) Find a relationship with god. Not many people know this about me, but I have only felt close to God one time in my whole life. I was in church and something prompted me to start reading the scriptures so I spent all of sacrament reading through the scriptures. Nothing came from it (besides reading the beginning of the bible) but I felt something there. I was baptized into the LDS religion when I was 9 years old. I attended church with my Grandma for years until I got older decided not to go with her. I attended maybe a year after that in Spanish Fork until I no longer felt comfortable. All of the judgment I felt from my peers because I never knew much about religion and I wasn't like them led me away from the church. When I met my Dylan, his mom told me that in order to date her son, I had to attend church with them. Which I did, but I never took the time to investigate or learn anything more of it. Religion has always been an important part of Dylan's life, and we have mutually decided that we want to get sealed in the temple to each other and to our family so that we can be together for eternity. So, from this year, I am going to read the Book of Mormon, cover to cover and start to study the scriptures as well as attend church so that I can build a testimony and feel the Holy Ghost.
3) Not take any relationship for granted. Many of you know that come April, Adysin, Dylan and myself will no longer be living in Utah. I have wanted nothing but to leave since I was a teenager (even though I still am) until about the last year. My relationship with my family and my in laws have come a long way. I have learned to love the small and big things about every person I cross paths with. With this move will come the struggle of feeling along, but if I keep my family relations close, I know that through their love and support we can get through everything.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this, and if you have any suggestions of how I can do any of these things, please let me know, seeing as I will need all of the help I can get.
