Cliche...Perhaps

High Hopes for 2010!!!!

This year we went to a party at our friends' house (John & Susannah) to celebrate the new year. It was a blast!  We had a great time visiting, drinking a little more than normal, and just having a fun night. Thank you Susannah and John for hosting!! Being parents of a little guy, we needed to leave earlier than we would have liked in order to get C to bed, but we only left an hour before midnight. So, after getting the little guy to bed we watched the Dick Clark's New Year Countdown. I had not watched his show in years..the man has aged! He definitely looks good for his age but I can tell the difference since the last time I watched his show. I really enjoyed ending our evening cuddled up on our couch watching the ball drop together; what a wonderful night!

Not to sound too cliche but Will and I do have some New Year resolutions. I have never really been one to make resolutions each year, but Will and I decided to last year and we were pretty successful. Creating this blog and sticking to it was actually one of my resolutions from last year.  I have been able to keep up with it a lot better than I thought I would. It is "mommy's quiet time", which could be a huge part of my motivation...and it is a great way to share our life with my west coast family and friends. We have also been fairly successful at exercising and eating healthier (with the exception of the past two months - so that is back on the list). Holidays are filled with many temptations!
Here it goes:

1. To keep up this blog

2. PURGE (this will make moving easier when the time comes)

3. Exercise

4. Eat healthier...again

5. Devote time each week to our personal hobbies

6. Be better at date nights

7. Try at least one new cooking recipe every month (this may sound like a long time, but with traveling for work a month may make my failure less likely)

8. Get back into reading more non-fiction (I have been spending a lot more time with fiction lately, which isn't like me...getting lazy!)

Here is to all of our wonderful friends and family...wishing you and yours all a wonderful new year (2010 - can you believe it???) filled with love, happiness and amazing life adventures! Love you all! Best of luck in all of your endeavors throughout 2010!
