It is a new decade. I have seen so much, done so much this past 10 years, the next can only get better. I graduated high school, took a couple college classes, had a baby, bought a house, got married, inherited step-children and a mini-van, and hey, those are only the big things. What's to come? I don't know. What I do know is that God is with me and my family. We have nothing to fear.

My main resolutions are these: 1) To show more respect and compassion to my elders, especially my parents. 2) To be responsible in regards to money and spending. 3) To raise my kids in a way that pleases God and teaches them the finer things in life, responsibility, integrity, honor, honesty, love, compassion, respect, self-esteem and self-worth, among many others.
