I will start!
2004 was a great year witht he wedding, buying house, getting a new job.... but I am excited for 2005!
I was going to grad school non-matriculated before the wedding but I had to stop because of money and the long honeymoon... now in 2005 I am going back to school, and my new company is paying for it
I am also going to teach myself to knit and to play the guitar
I am hoping for the house to be finished by the summer and then we will get a pet bunny! We also have a big 1 week long family vacation planned for the summer with Rays whole family going to North Carolina. We are going to try to go to Vegas and the Grand Canyon for just the 2 of us.
I also want to start volunteering at an animal shelter in the new year

Looking foward too in 2005 -
- Getting married to the love of my life
- Graduating with my masters
- Staring my first teaching job
- Watching as 3 of my best friends get married to the people that they love

Things I need to do -
- Make a budget and STICK TO IT
- Go through a lot of my stuff and part with it - accept the fact that I will not fit into that dress that I bought in 11th grade, and that even if I do - It's not in style anymore
- Spend a little less time on the computer, and more with my roommate - never again will I have the opportunity to live with 3 of my best girlfriends...

Glad to hear about the fun and exciting year you have to look forward to Julie!

I am looking forward to continuing grad school as well. I took time off because of the wedding planning. I am going to pursue my Master in Library Science. We hope to take a vacation together, maybe Vegas? I am also doing some substitute teaching in Queens. I am enjoying settling in my new home.

I don't like to make New Years Resolutions. I used to plan ahead so much that I would drive myself crazy and sometimes not even accomplish goals. I now live my life day to day and not plan so far in advance. All I know is that I hope to be happy and healthy!

I'm definetly not good with resolutions. In fact, don't think I've ever had one.
This year though, I'd like to start doing some volunteer work.
I can't tell you the joy it brought me to organize the Benefit & raise some money for my cousin's children & leukemia awareness...I think I'd like to do something like that again, just on a larger scale. Maybe Light the Night or Make a Wish Foundation or something.

I'll try to stop being stubborn, impatient and less angry. (Not that I am an ogre.. but I could inprove.)

But I am also going to make the resolution of stop being too nice to people. When you're too nice, you get stepped on.

I hear you on that ! Even when I was a kid, a girl in my 4th grade class told me she didn't like me because I was too nice. I never thought that could be a bad thing. Guess I was wrong. And sometime nice really does finish last !
