New Years Re-solutions

I'm not making any New Years resolutions this year. This year will be a year of re-solutions. A sort recycling of past promises and personal goals. It will be a year of simplification, resulting in efficient ways, to manage my life, my family and my career. Late, last year I set several goals for myself and I will continue to work on them through out the year. I have set aside this year to establish the foundation, needed to build a reliable and efficient structure to base my personal, family and business life upon.

At home, I will continue to remodel the remainder of the house. It was a lot of work but with every ones help, I was able to get the ceilings sheet rocked and textured. The master bedroom and bath, are the only two rooms needing, to be finished. New floors through, are also still required and I have already picked out the new laminate that will be placed throughout the home. I would also like to complete the foundation for the addition by next fall, if time and money permits. This new space shall house the new living space and perhaps a small craft room for the Mrs. The old living room will be replaced with an actual dinning room for family meals. I will also do some research into upgrading the windows and perhaps a new heating system should the new windows fail to keep the home sufficiently warm after their installation. If anything a more efficient furnace should lower heating bills and with the added square footage, will most likely need upgrading.

As a family will be planning a family vacation. Last years trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico proved to be well worth the money. It is something, Amy and I believe, will be both enjoyable and relaxing for the boys as there is a plethora of activities for them to do, with minimal impact on mom and dad. I'm sure they will enjoy themselves and have memories, that will last a life time. So we will start the processes of obtaining passports for them in the upcoming weeks.

As for my career, I will be scheduling my first Microsoft Certification class. It will be the first of many, in my ever changing new career. Last year, I was granted the opportunity to enter, my dream, career field, of Information Technology. My supervisor, like me, shares the same charisma for the field and has proven to be a very intelligent mentor, for me to follow. It will make for a great learning environment for this exciting, career. I look forward to improving the processes already established and streamlining the department into a very efficient and reliable system for everyone.

I hope everyone has a happy, safe and prosperous, New Year...
