New Years Resolutions
The main resolution I made again in 2009 with Kjersti and Jay, is no more caffeine. I have been doing okay so far without it. Although, I have gotten a few headaches and there was one day I got so sick at work, I came home early and slept for 13 hours, but Kjersti says she doesn't think the two are related.
I would like to go to the gym more often and loss some weight, but I don't have a set weight I would like to lose. The number doesn't really matter to me. I just want to lose enough that I feel good about myself. I'll know where that is when I get there. I also wanted to try and get more sleep and eat better. I was thinking too, that I shoudn't buy any more candy. I mostly just buy because I want a little, and then have tons left over. I would like to cut my sweets down to the things that I make myself, but we will see how that goes. I'll just say, limited to within reason. :)
If I was going to do one thing, just for me, in 2009, I would like to start taking pole dancing classes. I loved it so much. It was so much fun. It was beautiful and empowering, and a awesome workout! They also are really expensive though, so I'm not sure if I will be able to do that this year.
I want to keep hacking away at school and work towards graduating. I would like to get some awesome camera equiopment this year too to help me do all the things I learn at school.
I want to get better at saving money and budgeting so that I don't have to live from paycheck to paycheck. Things have been really tight this year, and I would like to get back some flexability.
Top 10 most memorable things that happened in 2008: (in no particular order)
1-I got my car paid off!
2-My friends all came home from their missions this year!
3-Reagan Mackenna was born this year!
4-Allison moved back to Utah after matching in Provo and bought a new house!
5-Mom sold her house, moved into a new condo and got a new job.
6-Wesley got married!!
7-I turned 21, partied for practically a whole week, got my ears pierced and cut my hair.
8-I changed my mind and became Assistant Manger at 4th South and have keys to all six stores since I help out everywhere. (And got a raise)
9-I renewed my lease for my apartment. I have been living on my own for a year and a half.
10- I declared my major in Visual Art with a Photography Empasis and have been working at it constantly.
Love you all! Here's to a great 2008 and on to an awesome 2009!

Good lists! I'm impressed that your list of books is almost as long as your list of movies because mine wouldn't be close at all. I'm excited about your New Years Resolutions since some of them are mine as well, and I've liked going to the gym with you and I like the idea of being off soda again, even though I'm not quite to the fun part of that one yet!
I am very impressed with your reading and movie watching. I especially like that you give me the audio books you listen to after you have finished them. It makes my list longer, too. Good luck on your year of resolutions. I hope you feel successful at the end of it. I admire you for plugging away at your classes, even though I can't help you with tuition anymore. You are very patient and hardworking, no one can deny.
Chelsee, I am completely embarrassed by how much I don't know about my own sister. I had NO idea that you had moved up at Baskin, declared a major, etc. etc. I think another New Year's resolution would be to call me more!
