Another Year Come

Ugh New Years Ev.......you just finish Christmas and now you have to think about what you're gonna do on New Years Eve. Most major cities have a street party with fireworks, bands and street vendors. Vancouver hasn't had anything like that in the last at least 5 years. This year was probably ruined by the riot but I feel like New Years Eve in Vancouver is extremely overrated. When you talk to people their plans usually consist of heading to a club and getting drunk till 4am, for me and Ben that just doesn't interest us. We decided that this year we would just play it by ear and not really plan anything, we wanted to just chill out and be in bed early. On Saturday my parents proposed for all of us to go for dinner and a movie together. We decided it was a good idea so we rang in the New Year with my parents and my oldest brother and his wife. It was a lot of fun and we ate A LOT! It was a really fun night and I 'm glad that's what we decided to do. The evening ended early and we were in bed by 1am.


Of course when you ring in another year making New Years resolutions come up. Ben and I every year since we've been married (4yrs) have never made resolutions that have a time line. When people make New Years resolutions they usually find themselves disappointed by March when they haven't lived up to your resolutions.

Last year instead of making resolutions I made a list of things I wanted to do and try over the year so I decided that this year I would do the same thing. Most of the things on my list are the same, I didn't get to some of the things on my list like learning how to play piano or buying a sewing machine but I'm not disappointed that I didn't get to those things because I will try to get to them this year. What are some things you'd like to try or do this year? It's proven that when you write down your goals you are more likely to complete them. So what's on your list for 2012?
