Happy New Year!

Not just Happy New Year, but Happy New Decade as well!

I think 2009 shaped up to be a pretty good year, lots of firsts including my first Olympic Triathlon and First Marathon!

Here is a quick list of "My year in review"

January - Superbowl party with great rockband memories
February - Went on my first hash with GLH3, the Red Dress Run on Valentines Day, and met some awsome new and crazy friends
March - Spartans kicked @ss in March Madness - Final Four!
April - Found a great gym buddy and competed in my first indoor triathlon
May - Moved into a new house and got a Blackberry :)
June - My little brother graduated high school and I competed in my first olympic tri
July - Roadtrip to Colorado and Rocky Mountain National Park, first time in the mountains and hiked 3 14ers in one day - most amazing trip ever
August - Mom came to visit for the weekend and I successfully made homemade sushi
September -First time birding, mist netting and learning to drive a motorcycle
October -Roadtrip to Minnesota for my first marathon
November - First committee meeting with PhD committee
December -hmm, should have been the Christmas Bird Count, but I was too hungover :( Oh well, there is always next year!

All in all, pretty great year, I think.

Now, resolutions...those are always tough. This year I'm actually going to document my resolutions, so I remember them and know when they're broken :)

1) Do something active every day. Walk when I would have normally driven, swim, bike, run, etc.
2) Use my camera twice a week.
3) Eat healthier: no more than 1 sweet per day, get better about eating protein, fruits and veggies
4) Keep my clothes put away - this is a HUGE problem that I've had since I was in middle school. I've bagged up a bunch of clothes to get rid of in hopes that making more room in my drawers and closets will make it easier to keep it clean.
5) Purge all the clutter in my room
6) Read 1 fun book per month

So there they are. Let's see if I make any changes or break any of them...

Happy New Year!
