Resolutions

Our friend Hannah asked us shortly before New Year's if we had any resolutions when a group of us went out for dinner one night.  We all thought about it, but no one really had an answer for her.  It triggered days of me racking my brain for an answer or even a thought about this question.  Just as we reached New Year's Eve, I had my answer.  Matt also finally had an answer, and then Jazz had an answer.

On New Year's Eve we were lucky enough to have my mom and Jazzy's help as we continue to unpack our new apartment, and we also got have dinner with them at Universal City Walk.  As we waited for our dinner, Matt asked Jazz if she had a New Year's resolution.  This was followed by 30 minutes of explaining what a resolution is at which point she said, "Math."

After another 30 minutes of explaining she made a truly profound resolution that made all of us silent for a few seconds.  That is until my lovely husband asked, "And do you have any others?"  He was punished soundly of course for this.

Jazz and her best friend became obsessed with surfing this last summer, which then lead to them begging to learn to surf.  My mom said that she would be willing to take them to Jr. Life Guards training next summer so they could learn to be totally safe in the ocean and then learn to surf.  They spoke of this for weeks, but we have not heard about it since school started.  Then in her moment of brilliance on New Year's Eve, she stated that she will complete Jr. Life Guards training in the summer of 2012.

It was truly a moment of pride for us because not only did she remember this goal from the summer, but she was able to learn a new concept and apply this old idea to the new thing she learned.  Stay tuned for an update later this year on the status of this resolution.

Much Love!
