Plans for 2009

Before things start getting hectic around here, I thought I'd take a few minutes with Josh and discuss what plans we have for 2009.

Firstly, we'd love to move into a new house, one with a more open concept living area, and generally more space. So in order to do that, we'll need to sell our house. Which adds many more plans for the next year:

We will need to lay the laminate flooring (that we've already bought) in the hallway, master bedroom, and stairs. As well as laying the laminate that has already been purchased for the main floor (entry, kitchen, dining room).

We will need to organize and purge the entire house, getting ready to stage it, as well as get rid of things we aren't using. We've just accumulated too much in the last 4 years. We have actually already started this process and been sorting and sent several bins to a rented storage unit.

We have plans to go to Fairmont in early 2009 with Josh's parents for a week, and again in the fall. Fairmont is a great vacation for us twice a year.

We are also hoping to do a trip to BC's lower mainland at some point in 2009.

I have a whole host of sewing projects I would like to complete this year, as well, I'd like to get my personal stash of Christmas cards done by summer, leaving the fall and early winter available to take orders (instead of scrambling Dec 23rd to get mine out.... yes I finally got mine out TODAY!).

One crafting goal I have for this year, is to complete Paisley's 1st year scrapbook by next Christmas. I haven't even started, but have been giving it much thought (as far as layouts for certain pictures).

That's all we are coming up with this evening.... but maybe we'll think of more in the next week.
