I know that the New Year holds a lot of things that we don't know are going to happen, both good and bad......but how about some of the changes that you know are going to happen this year?

I know that as of Monday morning, I'll be working two jobs, working with hub as needed and part time with my mom in her flower store. When I go full time, hub will either have to find someone to take my place part time, or just keep doing what he can do by himself, if the orders are even there to do....either way, for us, its a bit more money coming in than is now!

This year I will start living with my boyfriend
which will also mean giving up that cute little apartment I called home for the last 3 years.

Other than that it should be the same old thing. But by the Fall I will have to decide if I want to do a PhD right after finishing my Masters degree.

BabyHarley - I know how you feel, I just got married in June, and 2009 is the year I will finally do all the paperwork to change my last name, it will be exciting.


That's one change. Also, I hope to start my own business this year. I am excited to work for myself, make my own schedule.

Also, a third kitty might be joining our family in this next year sometime. We have been talking about it.

I too will go from Ms. To Mrs. Hahaha and it is sure to mess up a number of my students..especially the private students I have had since I was in college.
But its ok they can still call me Ms. B.

This year will bring me halfway through my gradute program and hopefully a house and MAYBE just MAYBE this will be the year of my last orthopedic surgery! (I keep saying that EVERY year..but someday it will end!!)

so yeah I'm super excited about 2009....Lots of cool things are going to happen this year and alot of new and challenging expereinces. and right now I'm am all like...alright...BRING IT ON!!!

We are going to be moving across town this summer. I am excited about it - our daughter will be starting a new school nearby and we will be much closer to husband's work.

It's going to be a busy summer!

Hopefully I will resume training from WSIB (worker's comp) after I get to see some medical specialists. I definately can't see WSIB continuing to pay me for sitting on my butt for too much longer.

I was in school for retraining but was pulled out in Nov. as the schooling was making my injuries worse....so right now I'm on rest pending medical. I'm tired of "rest", but the moment I try to do a full day of just light activities, I pay for it for about a week.
I am very much hoping that there's surgery options for my arms...my back injury is not what limits me in living a basic life, its my arms/hands that limit everything I do.

Finding a job that suits my disabilities would be nice
(after the medical is taken care of)

Along with the others above, this year I will do the paperwork for my name change as I got married June 23 2007 and haven't gotten to it yet


That's bout it...

On Monday our new CEO at work starts. Since I'll work pretty closely with him, I know that there will be a lot of changes in store. I just don't know what they'll be yet.

This year will be purely monetary changes for me.

I want to move
I need a new bed and dresser
I want to buy a used car
I need to start putting money into retirement plans again

I'm not actively looking for a relationship, but if the right guy comes along, I'm open to it. But I'm not going to go seeking anything through dating services.

I will give up my single life for married life in October of this year
That's for sure. Everything else... well, I guess I have to wait to see what changes 2009 has in store for me!

We should be moving into our house this month
That will be a BIG change from living with the in-laws for 3.5 years. YAY!

We will also be celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary in February


That's all I really know about for this year.

It will be a busy year study-wise.

I am going to Taipei, Taiwan in September for work.

That is all I know for now.

I am unsure that I will be able to keep my job (if the economy stays like this) Even if I do get to keep it (which I hope I do) I will be helping in another department (which makes me more valuable to the company).

The other change is that I will officially become an old fogey. I will leave the youth of my 20's behind and completely fail to reach my goal of being independantly wealthy by the age of 30.

I don't know that we have any definite changes planned. We do plan to buy a house before too long; but that's subject to change. We've always planned to start a family in 2010, so maybe I'll start working on that change sometime this year.

Oh, you newlyweds will have fun! I've been married over 3 years and when I hear someone call "Mrs Hare." I still look around for my MIL! At work, I have to say my first and last name on every call and it took me about 3 months before I could say it without thinking (Hi, my name is Hope...um....hang on, it's right on the tip of my tongue....
)

The only big change I know if going to happen this year is I'm going to turn 40. At least I HOPE it is going to happen, because the alternative is VERY depressing. Other than that, it's pretty much status quo.
