Gary and I had about 5 or 6 invites to parties.  Some were people we knew through friends, some were close friends, and one was with my family 🙂  We had dinner at my parents, then went to our second party of the evening where we came out pretty good in “Yankee Swap” my favourite game of the New Year!  and then we swung by another set of friends’ party (new to Raleigh this new year).  Then today we went to our friends’ for a German new years lunch, and then I did a little shopping 🙂

I don’t make new years resolutions, because we all want to be happier, healthier, accomplish more, do more, travel more, and a year is a Long time!  I do think as we grow we should do things out of our comfort zone or push ourselves to do something good for ourselves and good for the world: for people, for animals, for the environment. I have a lot of thoughts, plans, and projects for 2009!  Do You?  Maybe we can do them together 🙂

Cheers to an even better 2009!
