New years (a little late)

I realize that this post is a little late, but I figured that was ok. My New Years eve was actually quite different this year (like everything else about Xmas 2011). We went to my bestie's house, her boyfriend was there and my brother came along. It was a lot of fun! We played games, ate a good meal and counted down to midnight. Good times were had by all.

I've been thinking a lot lately about this new year 2012 and the plans that Cam and I have for the year. I don't really do resolutions, I have goals for myself but that's about it.

Here are a few of our plans/goals to share for 2012:
* Continue to work on making this new home feel like home. Paint the bedrooms and bathroom, get area rugs, shelving, pictures framed, a shelving unit for the living space, finish the mini projects in the kitchen, get the curtains up.
* Pay off Sadie (our car) while saving up for a down payment for a future home. Go and speak to the bank about mortgages and what we need to do to get what we want.
* The talk of pregnancy and having a baby is becoming a very frequent conversation for us. Maybe there will be a baby to join our family this year? I won't give more details on this until a test says (+).
* Stay at home and don't go traveling anywhere outside BC. Take a few camping trips this year close by.
* Send Cam to school in the coming fall to start on his horticultural degree for his landscaping career.

A few plans/goals I have for myself to share for 2012:
* Get healthy! Kick sugar from my diet, start exercising. I'm not interested in going on a diet I just want to get healthy and strive to eat healthier.
* Finish all the classes I need to complete by the end of this year so all I'll have left to complete in 2013 will be practicums and observation papers! Then I'll have my full ECE license.
* Start spending more time in prayer and with my bible. Start trying to listen to what God is saying and to not be afraid of the change that He may be making in my life.
* Make my treatment at Vancouver General Hospital a top priority. Do exactly what they say, and believe that I can achieve healing through the program.

I think that's about it! I'm really proud of Cam and I. The year 2011 was fantastic, it was really busy but we had some great changes happen. We moved into a bigger space paying less rent, I went to school and got a great full time job in my career choice. Cam decided to make landscaping his career choice over youth work. We bought a car, we did a lot in our home to make it ours. We travelled to Vegas, Harrison Hot Springs and Winnipeg. Wow! What a year.

Thanks for reading and we wish you a really great New Year 2012!

Blessings, N.
