Resolutions

It is 12:27 am on January 1 as I sit down to write this. The rest of the house is asleep and I rang in the New Year scrapbooking. We went over to Debbie and Jonathan's tonight with a few other couples and had a nice time visiting. We didn't have a babysitter so the evening wrapped up at 10pm when Eric finally decided enough was enough. ("What's going on?! I'm normally in bed for 2.5 hours by now!") We had brought pajamas for the boys and changed them before we left. They fell asleep in the van and we just popped them into bed once we were home. Hooray for car rides!

Darrel and I actually both made resolutions this year. My easiest to keep (in some ways) is to take more pictures, which I've quantified at one a day. I'd like to have more photos of every day life and just the normal day to day routine. Our other resolutions listed here are a little more vague, basically stress less and enjoy more. Hard to quantify but very important none the less. I think it will take a very conscious effort on both our parts to let go of the little things that get to us and just learn to live in the moment. We're both Type A personalities who like to cross things off lists. I think sometimes we don't savour the moment of getting something done before we're on to the next thing. It's like we're never satsified with what we've accomplished because there's still something on the list. I summed up our new attitude to Darrel as work hard and play even harder. Or maybe it should be that we just play more. Either way, I think we are on the same page with the attitude we want to have.

Happy New Year to all, may 2008 be a great year for you!
