Hello, New Year!

Ok, I haven't exactly talked to Eric about this, but I don't think either of us are making resolutions this year. I think they are a fine idea, but I usually make the same ones everyone else makes, and I usually only succeed in reading more. I think we will be too busy this year... on the agenda:
January/Feburary- planning for the wedding, hunting with my dad, marriage counseling
March- Wedding!, move to Tallahassee, mom and my sister's birthday
April- Eric's birthday, honeymoon in Arizona
June- my cousin's HS graduation
July-  my parent's 30th wedding anniversary, Dad's state convention, hopefully we'll be moved out a Tallahassee by now
August- dad's birthday, my other cousin's Sweet 16
October- my birthday!
and then the Holidays again!

I looked over an email I sent to Eric at the beginning of this year about what was going on- all the trips, etc. and it's so funny to look at that now, at what I had planned, and then to know that there was an engagement and all the other craziness that happened this year. All the things you can't plan for but seem to manage. The list above might serve as a great- hey look at all the things we had no idea were going to happen this year- as we look back in the next.
