For the past few years, every January the two of us sit down for a special evening of future planning.

We have supplies: a good dinner, pens, paper, a list, a calendar and a bottle of wine.

We set goals. For ourselves individually, for our family, for the two of us as a couple.

We makes resolutions. We challenge ourselves. We make goals and say them out loud so we become accountable for them. Last year even involved giving ourselves a motto for 2011 ( which was “I’m gonna f*cking rock this!”)

I’m not entirely sure what will end up on paper tomorrow night. I’m still giving it a lot of thought.

But I am sure that the plans for 2012 will involve growth, adventure, love, and dreaming big.

I’m so excited to see what this new year will bring.
