Re: Are you ready for 2013? (New Year's poll)
What are you doing for New Year's Eve? We waffled back and forth on this -- we wanted to go to National Harbor or Maryland Live for one of the big parties with bands and open bars, but then remembered we had to pay for a hotel room in Philly this Saturday for a wedding.
So, I think we're going to see our friends at the Delaware beach and hanging out at their house.
Do you have any resolutions or goals for 2013? I know this is so cliche, but getting healthier. I'm working on obtaining a personal training certification -- another goal for 2013 -- and I have all the knowledge to be a healthy person, but lack in the motivation to put it into motion. It's actually kind of strange. Additionally, DH and I are likely going to start trying for a baby this year and I want to be as healthy as possible for that.
What was your favorite memory of 2012? Probably our week in Jamaica in April.
What was the biggest change in your life in 2012? DH and I both got new jobs within 7 weeks of each other at the end of the year.
What are you looking forward to most in 2013? Vacation at an all-inclusive in Cancun in August!

What are you doing for New Year's Eve? We are having dinner at Melting Pot with some friends, then staying over in a hotel for an exciting night of board games, TV, no kids, and sleeping in!!
Do you have any resolutions or goals for 2013? I need to clean out our guest room which is currently a junk room (you can't even walk in there) and turn it into DS's big boy room at some point. And getting the rest of the house straightened up would be really nice too. I am messy, which I don't like.
What was your favorite memory of 2012? DS's first birthday or our beach trip.
What was the biggest change in your life in 2012? No major changes this year unless you count DS becoming a toddler.
What are you looking forward to most in 2013? Possibly adding to our family.

Do you have any resolutions or goals for 2013? I need to organize our "bill box" and get all the important documents filed. I'm going to run a 5K. And...the biggest thing of all...to be happy. This past year was incredibly stressful on me and I constantly put DH first. Not that he doesn't need the attention, but I can't continue to carry the weight for both of us. I found that I often missed out on doing things because I felt like I needed to take care of him and I can't continue to be an enabler (thank you, therapy!).
