Seasons Greetings

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

I was able to score a week off from work to drive to the 603 for some family time. I hadn't been up there for about a year and a half. I forgot how cold it can get up there in the winter time.

One of my cousins is with child. She announced it is a girl and they are naming her after my grandmother. That's pretty cool. My 99-almost-100-year-old great-grandmother wants to know when I'm going to start bringing her some great-great-grandchildren. I told her I need to find a good girl that can put up with me. Havn't been able to find any yet. Maybe in the new year.

Anyone have any New Year's Resolutions? I don't have resolutions, but I do have 2012 goals. I read somewhere that you have a higher chance of completeing goals if they are in writing. A couple months ago I wrote out 10 goals to complete in 2012. They are as follows:

2012 Goals
Complete by 12/31/2012
1. Get in shape
2. Obtain CWP (completed 11/2011 CWP card by 02/2012)
3. Complete Berlitz Spanish program
4. Pay off Car
5. Become CCEMT-P (have textbook and registered for class 3/12/2012-03/29/2012)
6. Become Dive certified
7. Start Excelsior college
8. Start relationship
9. Roll retirement to stocks
10. Get house ready to rent out

I have already completed one goal and am signed up for a CCEMT-P class already. Maybe there is something to writing your goals down.
