2013

( Yes, I'm ringing in the new year on this blog a little late.  I'm trying to stay true to form and procrastinating as much as you all know I do all the other days of the year.  )

So far the new year brings:

1. A re-dedication to running. I will be doing the San Francisco 1/2 marathon on April 7th!  


2. A commitment to good causes. The aforementioned 1/2 marathon will be run as part of a charity team, Groundwork Opportunities. Check them out or wait for my video and email asking for your support. Either way it's a great cause and worthy of your attention.


3. An almost crazy, psycho search for the right school for Gi. Kindergarten applications begin in just a couple months and there are 6, that's right, 6! schools from which we may choose. That's a lot of choice and a lot of pressure. 


4.  VACATION! Our first family vacation has been set and we'll be saying Aloha to the beautiful island of Kauai this spring with extended family in tow. We are already super excited! 

And no resolutions to speak of. We found it incredibly relieving and well, FUN, to declare 2012 the "Year of Fun" but 2013 seems like we'll be seeing a lot more changes. Gi is starting school, our girls are growing up. Change is a huge part of that and putting ironclad resolutions or even themed names to the whole year seems so permanent and inflexible. At the end of the day I like the idea of making lists and checking them off for big and small goals alike, something I do every day as a mom whether it's the beginning of a new year or not. 

Here's wishing you all a very happy 2013!
