Happy New Year everyone!!  2009 is here…hopefully it will be a more prospersous and healthy one for all.

We celebrated quietly at home last night.  The kids had fun staying up with us.  Aryanna almost didn’t make it, but once we changed the channel to show Time Square, she livened right up.  We counted down with everyone in the T.V.  Then we yelled Happy New Year!!!  The kids screamed.  Patrick and I yelled.  Everyone kissed and hugged. 

What is it about that moment that makes you forget all the wrong in the world and all the wrong with each other?  It always seems like such an emotional and exciting moment.  Maybe because we have no clue what’s to come but we all want to see what is going to happen.  Maybe we all are just full of hopes for the future that we are ready to bring it on and conquer. 

I personally love that moment and look foward to it every year because for a brief period in time nothing else matters in life but that moment of change.  Change of time.  Change of year.  Change of old ways to new and better ways.  

I’m excited to see what 2009 brings.  Bad or good, I will learn a lesson either way.

Admit it.  You totally saw this post coming.  Right? 

I haven’t posted in several days for a few reasons.  1….that seems to just be my pattern of behavior this past month.  2….I really did just want to slack and focus on family time and take a breather for myself.  3….I really wanted to put thought into what I want for the new year to come because I NEVER make New Year’s Resolutions.     So, the following is a list of my goals for 2009 with an explanation behind some.  Others, you really don’t need an explanation of.  This list is in no particular order.  I just numbered them to separate them.  So without further ado here are my goals.
