Happy New Year!!
It’s that time of the season again to make those big exciting “to-do’s” of the New Year. I’ve never really been into making resolutions or better yet sticking to them, but this year I’m making the resolution to stick to my resolutions. J I have at least a couple that I’m pretty gung ho and way stoked about attempting this year of 2009!
First…when I was younger, I learned 3 different instruments. So...my first resolution of 2009 is to re-learn and perfect one of those instruments again. I was talking to my mom one day and she mentioned I still had my violin at her house. So, I decided that was convenient because that is the instrument I had wanted to pick back up. I’m way excited about it! The mom and I went to the music store the other day and picked up some beginner violin tunes again, so I’m ready to fly with this one! J
Second of all…over the last few years or so, I’ve picked up this love of cooking and it’s something I would love to pursue and perhaps go to school for. So, my first step towards accomplishing this was that I looked into The Art Institute of Salt Lake and their culinary program and it was $90,000 for the 4 year program. I kinda thought to myself…there goes my dream. Sadly enough, the cost of the program deterred me from considering it any further. However, I recently ran into a friend of mine that mentioned he found the Culinary Arts program at a campus close to where I live and it is the same amount of time for about $7,000. I couldn’t believe it!! So…now that the amount is a little more feasible, I’m happy to say that that is my #2 resolution. Although, the program doesn’t start until Fall 2009, I am making it my goal over the months before then to save some money for it and start some crazy cooking! I’ll keep you posted! Check back in the Fall. J
Those are just a couple of my new years resolutions. Of course, I have others that I try and work on every year like…get out of debt, lose weight, travel more, ect. But…those will come with time perhaps. J I might have to hold back on the excessive traveling for the year in order to reach my #2 goal right?
Anyway, I wish every one of you the Happiest Year and I hope there are many wonderful and exciting opportunities that maybe present themselves for you all!
