Welcome 2010!

(Friday, January 1, 2010)
I haven't written in this blog for so long I was contemplating just closing it down, but I know I will regret it later, and I always enjoy going back and reading what life was like years later... I might catch up eventually, since I have saved a bunch of entries, so that I can fill in all those empty months between now and last year.

Slept in a really long time since I didn't go to bed until 3 a.m. I could get used to not setting my alarm in the morning... The most productive thing I did today was help my friend/landlord move a refrigerator for my neighbor and started cleaning my messy apartment. I also sat down and thought about what I would like to get done this year and how to make it happen. It is always fun to make plans, even though sometimes they don't happen for whatever reason. I am definitely a planner! Step 1 this, Step 2, that...

I joined in with most of the American population and made plans to pay down debt, eat healthier and get more exercise, become more organized, learn to cook better, be a better friend, daughter, sister etc... I want to also make more time for reading(besides school books of course), spend more time learning languages and focus on training Troy to be more obedient and learn new tricks. Nothing more exciting than that. What can I cut out to make that happen? Less movies, less internet perhaps...
I really hope I get to visit Sweden this summer, especially since ALL my sisters will be there in July. I had hoped to fly over in May, when the tickets are cheaper, but now I really want to go later so that I can meet my German sisters for the first time.

This year is a big year, with big changes in my life. My divorce will be final in a few weeks and in December I am getting my BA in Psychology, and I will have to decide what to do next. It is very exciting, but I have to admit, it has been nice to not have had to make any tough decisions the past year and a half. I was able to just enjoyed the moment...and take each day as it came...

Welcome 2010! Be kind to us...
