Ringing in the New Year

Alex and I returned home on January 3rd after being in Cleveland for almost a week. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable trip with family and friends. I enjoy myself more and more every time I'm there. The weather wasn't too bad either!

Once getting home there was lots of unpacking, Christmas clean-up, grocery trips and other things to catch up on (almost there). It's nice to start the new year fresh though. On Tuesday Alex and I went to pick up his new work car. It took all of 10 minutes which was amazing. We're sad to see the Jeep go because of it's extra space and 4 wheel drive, but so far the new car is pretty impressive. How exciting to start the new year off with a new car! (Thank you Eaton!)

I'm hoping that my new thing for the New Year will be a job! Along with finding the perfect job my New Year's Resolution List also includes: Live Healthier (with a few more specific goals underneath that) and Try My Best (and not be so hard on myself). I wrote them out with green sharpie and put them up on the fridge as a reminder (love sharpies and love signage). Alex is also on board for the Live Healthier part (with his own subgoals), which he'll have much better luck with once he gets over his cold.

I'm feeling optimistic about 2012. Life is good, but the best is yet to come.

Happy New Year!
