2013

2013. Whew...sadly, this blog has been very empty for the past year and one of my resolutions for 2013 is to get it up and going again. Although we do a yearly Shutterfly book and I feel like Facebook has some semblance of a yearly history...I would love to be able to pull this up in the decades to follow and see these years in more detail :) 

Things we would like to do in 2013 & beyond: 
I feel like if we write these goals down, they somehow become more concrete and feasible...so... 

• Although, we have been in constant house renovation mode...we would like to finally "finish" all of that up so we can just enjoy our almost-100-year-old house for the next year or two before we start thinking about our next home.
• Trying out Dave Ramsey's budgeting techniques...big goals of paying off all of Aaron's student loans in the next two years. 
• Aaron: Continue strength training, so his knees will be in amazing shape for the years to follow and we can avoid a knee replacement until he is AT LEAST 60 :). Aaron tore his ACL & meniscus for the second time and had it replaced again this past year. He has gone through extensive rehab and PT...but has not received the all-clear for ski season yet. 
• Kathleen: Continue cycling and yogaing and give some real time to organizing/crafting. I know not everyone out there likes to have their spices in alphabetical order, or their closets in color/type order...or has a love of label makers - BUT I do and I feel like when everything is in order, easily found and easily returned I have much more time to do the one thing I really love - spending time with Mason and Aaron. 
• Mason: He decided that in this next year he would like to visit Santa again and grow. Two very good and obtainable goals for a very silly three year old. 

 Happy New Year all!!!
