Ringing in the New Year January 3, 2012

2011 was a pretty good year for Chris and I. Ski vacation at Keystone, an anniversary trip to the Dakotas, a wedding in the Finger Lakes and visits with family in Central New York. Chris was made ‘credit card ambassador’ for his district. I finish my second (and final) year of AmeriCorps. Shortly after, I was lucky enough to find a job at Fairview High School. We brought home a puppy, and have been running around ever since. We have been lucky enough to have jobs that support us, family around us, and lives that keep us healthy and active.

At this time of year there is the delightful tradition to make resolution for the new year. I like to take the time to reflect upon the past year to think of how to improve in the new year. So here are my resolutions for 2012:

1. Restart my blog. Last year, my blog started out with a bang. It helped me to cook creative, healthy meals. The blog helps me to stay on track and gives me a creative writing outlet, which I love. After a certain puppy ( who shall remain nameless) came into out lives, the blog fell to the wayside. It’s time to put aside the excuses and start back up with the writing!

2. Keep up with Weight Watchers. I’ve had decent success this past year, and want to make sure 2012 is even better. There were a few corporate shake-ups that have left me without my favorite leader. I need to make sure I don’t let this get in my way, and continue on.

3. Create an Etsy site. I love crafts. Love them. Unfortunately, I don’t have space to keep all my finished products. The result? Set up an Etsy site to take care of the overflow of crafts and make some money on the side!

These seem like doable to me, and hopefully they will help 2012 become a great year. We’ve got some great things planned… A trip to Ireland with Chris and my brother, going back to school for me! Definitely should be a great one!
