Kam Spain, 21, Vienna resident and barista at Starbucks is excited to have more snow in the new year. “I hate snow, but I have to look forward to because it’s going to happen anyway. It’s because I lived in Louisiana pretty much all of my life so I have never seen snow.” (Spain has lived in the area for four years.)

Hugo Estrada, a software developer from Falls Church has ongoing resolutions. “One of my resolutions is language learning, so I am learning Japanese with my daughter. We dedicate 30 minutes every day, we have two text books and we work on it together at the end of every day.”

Katie Walsh, who lives in McLean, a beauty advisor at Merle Norman Cosmetics in Vienna. “My New Year’s resolution is to definitely move out of my parent’s place. I’m almost 22 so it’s about time to get out there and get on my own, to focus on growth and do my own thing. I hope to move somewhere like Falls Church or Washington, D.C. I want it to be close to home but far enough to be away from my family.”

Peter Kunzel, half German and half American, lives in McLean and is an economist. “I think I want to exercise more and spend more time with the family. I do a little bit of everything; cross training, running, swimming, squash, tennis, and I want to try to do a little bit more of all of the above.”
