Resolutions

I was absolutely not going to post my resolutions on here. I mean, really. Aren't they the same for everyone anyway? Lose weight, work less, exercise more, lay off the (insert your vice here). But one that resonates with me today as I reflect on this year spent mastering technological wonders like blogs and facebook - is that I really want to stay better connected to all our friends and family all over the world.

We had such a fun time in NJ with Mark's childhood friend Bob and his family. I'd heard so much about him and even met him a couple of times, but we never spent that much time together until we had dinner together this summer. My face hurt from laughing at Bob's version of all the stories I'd already heard from Mark. And his family - Mary Beth, Brian and Catherine - were icing on the cake. It made me realize how special moments like these can be. I want more.

So what does that mean for 2010? Maybe learning to Skype and some airline tickets? It remains to be seen. But my 20-year high school reunion will be this summer and Connie might only be in Paris for another year or two. Girls weekends and regular GNOs. Carpe Diem! And hope to see you soon!
