Welcome New Year and Resolutions

Many people have made New Year's Resolutions for the coming year, as they do every year. Peter and I have had a very interesting year, to say the least, and I am ready for the new year with new events. Every year we receive many Christmas cards with families writing about their year in review. I told Peter that next year, I want to be able to look back and do the same. Here is my attempt to start blogging again to be able to have something to look back on for the coming year. Today as I sit at home with my dog, Deacon, I have been able to put into writing some of my New Year's Resolutions. Here is the current list:

1. Attend church every Sunday along with getting more involved in our wonderful Sunday School class
2. Continue to budget even better than last year---goal is to put $10,000 in savings by December 2010
3. Prepare our life and finances to start our family
4. Stretch my knowledge base at work
5. Read 1 book per week---currently reading "Dear John"
6. Have daily devotions and prayer time with Peter
7. Continue working out at the gym 3-4 times a week
8. Go on a cruise in September/October with Peter and friends

This list will continue to grow, but I believe this is a good enough list for now. We have made many changes in the past year that have stretched us immensely, but all that have made us who we are today. We both are committed to tackle these resolutions full-force in hopes to better prepare us for the future. Please continue to pray for us as we proceed into the new year with many things to achieve.
