We rang in 2009 with a group of friends (Nikki, Alison, Raf, Alice, Betz, Lampe, Megan Brandenstein, and Mel, Ramsey, and B). That's one thing we love about being in STL--lots of different groups of friends to hang out with and bring together. We were safe--Nikki's step-dad dropped us all off; and Mike's mom picked us up. Yup, just like back in middle school for the dances. Mike's mom was even so nice as to drive us through Steak and Shake after our long night so we could load up on cheese fries and burgers. I'm sure she was quite amused with all of us!
So as we usher in 2009 it's time to think about goals, resolutions, or whatever you want to call me. I thought I was going to give up Diet Coke to see if I could, but already (on January 3rd) I'm thinking that's a silly resolution. Why was I doing it? And what's the purpose? So maybe I'll try to cut back for the sake of my teeth, but giving it up completely just isn't going to happen. So here's what I wish for/will play a role in making happen for 2009:
- Find a house and move in (the sooner the better!)
- Take care of myself--starting with getting back on South Beach and at some point during 2009 running a 5K (I hope I'll have accomplished by next winter because I hate running when it's cold outside!)
- Explore STL like we did LA. There's more to this city than I think we give it credit for.
- Take a vacation--whether this ends up being Mexico in July with friends, or something on our own to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We're going somewhere where we have to stay in a hotel (not with friends/family...not that there's anything wrong with that)
- Continue to remember birthdays and special occasions of our friends and families and send cards!
