Happy New Year & my Biggest New Year's Resolution

Happy New Year everyone! Well, we've made it to 2010. A new year that is full of promise and possibility. I was reflecting on where I was a year ago and the one word I could come up with was Pregnant! I was in the early stages of my pregnancy last New Year's. Amazing how fast time really flies. However 2010 is here and I'm hoping to make it the best one yet!

As for resolutions, my first one is by far the biggest and I'm hoping one that I'll be able to stick to. I made a resolution to join a gym, actually attend said gym and lose about 60 lbs. I'm actually really excited about this! I am happy to report that as of last night, Rick and I have become members of our local Sports Club! We now have access to pools, gym equipment, indoor track and countless classes (including dance and spinning) to help us achieve our weight loss goals. As I mentioned, I am EXTREMELY excited about this! I've wanted to join this club for a while and finally got the motivation to do it. Isabella is extremely excited too, as this club offers swimming lessons and she's been asking for swimming lessons for several weeks now. Yay for fitness!

My next resolution is another big one, but moreso because it's expensive! Rick and I have made a resolution to take the kids (and my dad) to Disney World. We were slated to go in two weeks, but due to financial restrictions and the holidays, we were forced to rethink that idea. We're hoping that it will only be a few months away and not another year. Things are looking good. We may be able to go as early as March! I'll keep my fingers crossed. For now, we'll just dream of Disney and all its wonders!

So of course, this post got me thinking...I wonder what other resolutions people make...I mean besides the obvious ones like losing weight and saving money?
