New Year, New Beginning



So in the beginning of the year we made a list of things that we wanted to do this year. I was reluctant to call them resolutions because resolutions are made to not be accomplished. Hopefully actually writing this down will remind me that I want to do this.. so DO IT! In the midst of my excitement of my list, I made Jesse make a list too.

2011 To Do:

  1. Find more volunteering opportunities
  2. Take a road trip with with no predetermined destination
  3. Exercise regularly. Get on some type of schedule.
  4. Drink 8 glasses of water a day
  5. Run a mini marathon
  6. Get a DSLR camera (And take/print more pictures)
  7. WRITE A BLOG
  8. Learn how to Sew. And SEW.
  9. Do not press Snooze.
  10. Complete at least 10 DIY projects
  11. Call a family/friend member every Sunday (I'm horrible with keeping in contact)
Jesse's List:
  1. Go to Texas
  2. Visit Florida
  3. Tile basement floor
  4. Set-up basement
  5. Power-wash/refurnish deck
  6. Be halfway done with Master's program
  7. Get the concrete in front of the driveway fixed
  8. Go to the gym 3 times per week
  9. Buy new Grill
  10. More sexy times
Oh how totally different our lists are.

On another note... today is the one year anniversary of the tragic earthquake that happened last year in Haiti. Blessedfully (sic),  none of my immediate family were hurt, but many were and are still affected by the damage. Times like these that remind me of how much I love my country, my culture, my people. We may not be the most organized of countries, but the we have heart and are strong-willed. There's not much that could keep us down and I truly believe that one day our country will be reformed.
