So my first goal for the new year is to get moved into our new house. That is a pretty big one right now, and I am really hoping that it's a short term goal. It just keeps getting pushed off, so i have my doubts now.
Goal number two is to finally lose all of my pregnancy weight and then some. Tara is going to be pregnant this summer, so it is my one chance to be skinnier than her in a bathing suit and you can bet your ass that I am not going to miss out on this extremely rare occasion. It's the opportunity of a life time for me. Now if Marissa would only eat a few cheeseburgers or something I might be on my way to looking even better this summer. That is ultimately my weight loss plan...to plump up everyone else around me creating the illusion that I am indeed "skinny" at my current weight. Ok, seriously, I plan on regularly using my free membership at the RIT gym. It's a brand new facility that is only a 5 minute walk from my office and it's free. I think I am out of excuses not to go.
Longer term, Goal #3 is to give Brynn a sibling. But, that is a ways out still and Tara needs to have her moment first. We will try again later this year. By the time we announce #2, Tara will already have her bundle of joy in her arms. It would be kind of cool for her to have a baby on her birthday. October is a good month.
Goal #4 is to get a promotion/take a new job at RIT after I hit my one year anniversary there in August. I really want to be some sort of Director or Assistant Director. Since that is a long term goal I guess I will support it with the short term goal of networking and building up my connections at RIT in the very near future. Once we get settled into the new house, we will invite the Shelley family over for dinner. Dan is always a good resource to have in my pocket, and they treated me like family while I worked with them, so I think it is about time that I bring them back into my life.
I think four goals is enough for me. I kept myself very busy last year with new jobs, new baby and new house. I think I will lay low this year and just take it all in. It's gonna be a good year.
