Happy 2009!!!!

At the end of the year I will show how close (or how far away) I actually came to achieving this goal. Some of these are silly, some are very serious, and some are really out there...I think it will be fun to see what I can accomplish and experience for the year of 2009!! BRING IT ON!!!

Happy 2009!

I'm with you, I was ready to close the book on 2008 - it was a tough one! Good riddens . . .

However, like yourself, I have plenty I want to accomplish this year! I love your list Tanya, and feel so excited for you to have so many great goals. I hope you get to *all* of them, each and every one!

Happy New Year to you my friend :) I love you lots and can't wait to hook up with you soon. I have so much to tell you!

Oh! And doesn't project 365 seem perfect?! I'm so excited to start. Hopefully my order went through okay.

big ((hugs)) for you!

I love your list. I would like us to be apart of the second goal. =) I need to make some of those goals for myself as well. Love you!

I love the idea of a list. I think deep down we all want to make goals like that and are so afraid to put them in writing for fear of defeat. I am working on writing mine now, maybe that will give me hope in accomplishment. Love you guys hope you have a wonderful 2009!!!!

You can check #12 off your list. You made me feel VERY special on my birthday when your whole family showed up with a balloon bouquet to my birthday lunch at Red Robin.

I love your list and I'm hoping to be a much bigger part of this new year with you!

Love you Cuz!!
