Happy 2009!

Hi Everyone
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year celebrations. We had a great time and are very excited about the coming year.

So did you make any resolutions? Let me know yours by leaving a comment, I'd love to hear them!

I made several 'goals' for this year including reading 52 books in 52 weeks, I love books so it shouldn't be too hard lol.
