So we’re settled into the new house! We still have boxes to unpack but we are getting closer to being completely settled in every day. Of course, we’ve been living here for the past month or more, and we still have junk to do, but that is mostly because with Christmas and everything we’ve been busy doing other things. Tomorrow is the day that I’ve decided to take all of the Christmas decorations down, so that’s what I’ll be doing once I get home from my volunteer stint at the Sagemont Library.
Mom came and went; we dropped her off at the airport this morning. It was really nice to have her here, we spent a lot of time just relaxing, talking over a cup of coffee and hanging out. Of course, we did our fair share of shopping too. This means I’m done shopping for the next few months! Christmas was great too, we had the family over for Christmas morning (more like noon, but you know…) and then we had dinner with the extended family that evening. Between work, Christmas functions and New Year’s Eve parties, I’m bushed. I’m actually quite looking forward to getting back to the regular routine of things. Classes don’t start up for me until Jan 20th, so I’ve got another 2 weeks to relax in between shifts at the bookstore.
Well, it’s a new year and you know what that means. Resolutions! To sum up last year, I did not lose 10 pounds but I did read a lot of books. I’m going to keep track of what books I read this year too, but I’m not doing my monthly updates anymore. You can keep track of my progress on my 2009 Books page (located on the sidebar). So that means I needed a new resolution. I think last year I was too ambitious. This year, I’m reading through the Bible in one year. I picked up a One Year Bible from work (yay employee discount!) and I’m trying to get into it every single day. It’s only 5 days in and I’ve already missed one day, but I did go to church that day so that counts for something, right? I’m blogging about the process, so if you are more interested in reading about my bible reading, lemme know and I’ll forward you the URL. The goal was to blog every single day, but considering how slack I am updating this one, you can imagine how the other is faring (re: not well). I think now that I’m getting back into my routine, though, I might be able to turn it around.
Anyways, I hope everyone had a great New Year! If there are any resolutions out there, let me know in the comments so I can pray for and encourage you.
