New Year's Resolutions

I try to stay away from New Year's resolutions, mainly because if I make a point to say my resolutions out loud or jot them down, the less likely they are to happen. Not quite sure why this is, but I am certain that I am not the only person. However, 2013 is set to be a busy, life changing year; therefore, I feel like the resolutions I put down are more likely to actually happen. 2013 is the decided year of continent hopping. By the end of this year everything will need to be in place to move to Korea. Which makes the list of resolutions a bit long this January. Usually I just have 2 or 3 resolutions.  So here they are:


  • apply for a Korean Visa
  • apply for a job in Seoul
  • become functionally proficient in Korean
  • effectively pack and ship necessary things to Korea. 
  • find new homes for Calcifer and Pippa (this one makes me super sad.) 
  • save enough money for this epic move
  • read 50 books during the course of this year
  • lose 20 pounds (gotta lose the the squishy tummy!) 
  • Get K and I both checked at the doctor, dentist and eye doctor before we leave
  • learn how to back stitch. 
  • spend more time with family members this year. 
  • get my husband and I in better health! 
  • BLOG! 

So there you have it. An ambitious list, to be sure. Stay tuned and I will attempt at keeping this blog updated more frequently as the year progresses.
