Year for New

I love Mondays. I don't know if I have ever mentioned it on this blog before, but I do. I love them. It is a fresh start to the week.

I suppose it helps that I don't work outside the home; so it doesn't mean that I have to be at work the next day, at a certain time, working for The Man. I'm my boss. My work is a delight anyway.

So Mondays are great. And the New Year...well that is just fantastic. A fresh start full of Mondays. The other days are great, too. New Years is the ultimate Monday, though. Then Mondays are the reset button if the previous week didn't go so well.

So resolve? I don't know. I think I did pretty well last year. It was a full year. Perhaps I'll drink more. Water.

(Did I catch you off-guard with that whole drinking thing?)

I'm going to do more Family History work. I got started into it in November and then December happened. I'm going to research more family names. Maybe one family a month.

I'm also going to write more. Not blogging, but on a Word Document. Just write. Even if it isn't my story that I started last year. I figure any writing will help.

The bigger news, not a resolve really, but a first: We are starting to look at homes to purchase our first home. This month is our ten-year anniversary, so I say it is about time.

Yesterday we talked to a friend who does mortgages and he crunched our numbers (I have excellent credit, by the way...and "immaculate (dental) home care" -the hygienists words, not mine so I'm not really bragging)and came out with our approved mortgage. We have started looking at homes. Today was our first gander. Nice home but not "the one" so a few more tomorrow and I assume a whole bunch on Saturday.

Oh, and not a first, but hopefully a third. I have hope that we will bring a third child into our home in the fall. I am finally ready for this. SO ready.

So a lot of changes this year and a lot of Mondays for those changes. 2010: here I come!
