2011 braught one amazing person into my life. Adam is wonderfully smart and silly and I am a sucker for his big green eyes and huge smile. So I don't have to worry about dating in the new year. If all goes to my plan I will be ending it the way it began.... with a kiss from Adam.
Okay enough gushy stuff. Lets begin with my first resolution:
1: To be more silly.
Although my extensive maturity level has helped me to move up in my career at a young age I want to tap into the old Rena. The girl that does Jim Carey impressions, sings Disney songs, and dances to Backstreet Boys. So in 2012 I would like to take an improv class, or actually watch the cheesy comedies that I have been avoiding for years. I blame Wes Anderson. His dry witty movies changed the way I thought about comdey. But I related to his films. I often feel like my life can be a scene from The Royal Tenenbaums. Just plain awkward. It is time to be more spontanious.
2. Ride my bike more.
Salt Lake is rated #8 in the top 10 US cities to live without a car. We have plenty of bike lanes, wide streets, and you can take your bike on the train. So why is my bike just sitting in my apartment. Well at the moment it has a flat tire. Which I got the third time I rode it this summer and never had it replaced. Biking is great excersize and good physical theropy for my knees. I would bike to work but I only live 2 blocks and with the one way streets it is actually faster to walk. So come spring. I will bike everyday. At least a mile. Cause even on a busy day I should be able to fit a mile bike ride in. Wow this sounds like a commitment. This will most likely be the hardest resolution for me.
3. Go to more Real Salt Lake games.
When I first moved here a went to RSL (soccer) games at tha rice eccles statium. And for someone who has never liked sports... I was hooked. The excitement in the crowd. The culture. The feild. I love it all. I now have 2 jersey's, a lanyard, a hat, and socks. This past 2011 season I didnt go to a single game. I love there new Rio Tinto stadium and find the games a good change of pace from working so much. I want to watch the Chiva's and the LA Galaxy. I want to cheer for Olave, Williams, and Beckerman. Come on Real Come on!
So this is my plan. Sounds fun and challenging. I think if I can stick to these 3 resolutions I will be happy in 2012. 3 little changes that can better my mind, body, and spirit.
