isn't she lovely?

in keeping with tradition i am going to make a couple of new year's resolutions and set a goal to accomplish the majority of them. so here goes:

1. excel at my new career
2. complete at least 18 graduate credit hours by year end, thus leaving six more before beginning my thesis work
3. complete ~ seven months of successful marriage by year end
4. lose at least five more pounds by the end of november (note: i lost five pounds from november 2003-november 2004)
5. become a better and more dedicated christian

i think that's a pretty heavy list, so i'll leave it at that.
