New Year's Resolution (I'm late)

During one of the laboratory meetings at my research rotation, the director asked what our New Year's resolution were. I mentioned the first two that included a professional and personal (below) resolution. I am jotting them down so I will not forget as the year progresses.

• Read more primary literature in my areas of interest (HIV/AIDS and hepatitis) instead of celeb blogs
• Contribute back to the school and students ~ always give back
• Buff up my cardio regimen - which I don't currently have one...wait does Zumba count? 
• Spend more time with my brother before he starts to reproduce 
• Be more organized in all aspects in my life - need to buy more of those ultra thin closet hangers, those sure do help my closet look more organized haha
• Keep staying positive and do not look back on regrets
• Spend more time with Meatball...he is already 7 years old! Time flies
• Become proficient in Cantonese and Vietnamese (Cantonese was my first language) 

Wish me luck in keeping/initiating these resolutions!

New Year's Eve with the love of my life :)

Alterations by Amanda: This dress originally hung very loosely; therefore, I sewed the straps to make it shorter as well as taking in the side seams.
