With this blog, I’ve completed one of my New Year Resolutions for 2008 (#4 to be exact), by blogging about the events in each month for the entire year. Although, I think it works better in theory than in practice, since I find that there’s not much to write about at the end of each month.
For example in December, the focus was on Christmas. We spent a week picking up all the gifts we needed to get for everyone, and had a week to spare (so to beat the rush; although we did end up going to the mall around the crunch days and it was b-u-s-y). We spent Christmas with the usual family dinners and then went to California for a week with Joe and Ida to escape the snow. The snow seemed especially bad in December, with several snow storms, even on the morning that we were going to the airport.
