Let's try this again, shall we?

I don't really do New Year's resolutions but I do set some goals at the beginning of the year. I know that we are nearing the end of January already but it isn't too late to list them here and put them out there is it? 

Goals for 2010
1. Run and finish the Tacoma Marathon
2. Learn how to use our Digital SLR better and take awesome pictures
3. Blog

1. Run and finish the Tacoma Marathon
I am doing well in regards to this goal so far. Brian and I are in Week 8 of Marathon Training. We just have to stick to our training plan and put in the miles and we should be able to finish the race. We won't be breaking any world records, but I think we will have a respectable time
2. Learn how to use our Digital SLR better and take awesome pictures
We took a beginners class offered by the camera store where we bought our SLR. It was a great class and made all those intimidating terms like "aperture", "ISO", and "shutter speed" make more sense. Now we just need to practice more.
3. Blog
I have a few drafts of posts in my head and pictures to go along with it but now I just need to sit at the computer and type it out. Now that football season is coming to a close, I should have more time to organize my thoughts and pictures. Also I really need to just write. It's not like my posts have to be award winning. They just need a point of view and some pretty pictures!
Just because I haven't been blogging doesn't mean we haven't eating or cooking. Friday Foodie Date Night is still going strong. We missed a few Fridays due to the holidays but other than that we have tried some "new to us" restaurants. I can't wait to blog about it.
