RESOLUTIONS 2009

Another year has just flown by. This year seemed like such a different year, a growing year. As husband and wife, as a family and also with our amazing friends. We has such a great time vacationing, swimming, biking, running and just hanging out. It is really nice for the girls to be getting a bit older and be able to involve them in so much more.
I am really excited for Lance and I to start off the year with a fab trip, for another great summer full of vacations, for Ava to start her first year in pre-school and Meg in kindergarten and I guess we will have to start thinking about adding another mini to the bunch-not super excited to be preggo again. That is what we are looking forward to in the year to come and now lets see how we did last year...

Last years resolutions...
-Take at least 1 big trip without minis- We did not take a big trip but a ton of little ones and I will count the cruise that we will be going on this month. (1 point )
-Finish all major construction on house: garage and basement-NEGATIVE, have not started.
-A new car for me-YES, I did get the Acadia(minivan incognito as my fam likes to call it)
-New mattress-NEGATIVE, I still kind of like the people holes in our mattress now.
-Washer and Dryer-YES
-More patient with the girls-OK, I am pretty patient with the exception of bitch week.
-More sympathetic: with meg and lance-Failed miserably, just ask Lance.
-Learn to cook: I am pretty well on top of everything but dinner. I don't even think about it until 4:30 and we like to eat by 5-5:30. NEGATIVE, I have gotten worse.
-To play more and run errands less-OK on that. I can not run errands, Ava is to naughty.
-For my bras and panties to always match: seems to be an expensive resolution but how cute!-Definitely more conscious on that but you always fall back to your old favs.
-To always have lip gloss on: silly, I know, but cute as well.-BIG FAT NEGATIVE
-To be hair free: I just had my third laser hair removal treatment and it is fabulous and pain free, I highly recommend it!!-A few patches but pretty damn close!

I must have been more interested in the material things because I did better on those than the self help things. I guess last year I really wanted to take time for me and I can see that I did. I thoroughly enjoyed myself!!!
So this year is a bit different. Lance and I usually do have a few fun things that we want to purchase through out the year and a few goals. In our heads I am sure he will be thinking about the many toys he wants and i will be thinking about the many decorating and home projects that I would love to do but we are going to just be happy with where we are now!
I will try to redo a few of the failed goals from last year and add a few new ones.
-PATIENCE
-TO BE MORE SYMPATHETIC
-TRY TO SLOW DOWN, HANG WITH MY HONEY MORE
-TRY TO NOT PICK MY FINGERS AND TOES*******************
That's it. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
