I love the new year because it means a fresh start - a new beginning & new memories that lie ahead. It is a time to re-evaluate our goals and items that we want to accomplish in the coming year. Shawn and I decided that this year we would set monthly family goals. Our goal for January is to read more books. This is a perfect time of year to snuggle up on the sofa with a warm blanket and get "lost" in a good book. :)
