All I Want for Christmas

Here is my wish list for Christmas this year:

1. I want to date...and I want to find a boyfriend who will then be my husband.

2. I want to get a job, but mostly I want to write a book and I want that to become my job.

3. I want to spend more time with friends and family. I want to connect more with people.

4. I want to get healthy in 2012. Really healthy. Run a marathon healthy. Fit into my new jeans healthy.

5. I want to find ways to help other people.

6. This sort of goes along with getting a job, but I want to be a contributing member of society. This may sound strange, but I want to be paying my taxes because that will mean that I am doing something with my life. I want to be able to sponsor a family in need for Christmas next year. I want to pay forward all the kind things people have done for me this past year and a half.

7. I want a really good kiss on New Year's Eve.

8. I want a car.

9. I want to take a road trip in that car to Las Vegas so that I can visit my friends there...and then maybe head on to SoCal to see Nate, my Aunt Mary Anne and Uncle Richard, and go to Disneyland.

10. I want to be more like Christ...to love more, to be grateful more often, to serve others.
