2014, here’s to a fresh new start…

A new year means a fresh start; does anyone else feel like this too? It’s nice to feel like you have a clean slate from everything that happened in the last year whether it is good or bad. 2013 brought me a lot of good times, and memories but it also brought a lot of heartache with losing my Uncle very suddenly in May that is very hard to deal with to this day.

2014 is bound to be WAY better than 2013, in fact, I think it’s going to kick 2013’s ass just because of how awesome I know it’s already going to be with events set
  1.  I’m turning 30 and going to have a killer birthday bash!
  2.  I am going on at least one vacation.
  3. I’m gaining a SISTER this year and I’m the Maid of Honor.
  4. All the camping trips!

Those are just a few that I know are going to make 2014 great! As for one of the dream vacations that I have always wanted to do: San Francisco, Boston or Vancouver, BC. It’s crazy to know that two of those are seriously in driving distance. Yes SF is a little farther away than BC but it’s crazy to know how close they are and yet I’ve always wanted to go spend a weekend at either place. I REALLY hope its Boston this year though! I mean, I’m turning 30 and what better way than to have a trip to the holy land as I know it?! I would probably cry going to Fenway…there I said it! There are tentative plans in the works with Caryn to go 2 weekends before my birthday; they are playing the Tigers home so that would be awesome for the both of us!


I do have some goals that I’ve set for 2014 like I always do. 2013’s goals were good and I met most of them but I’d like to do a little better for this year.
2014 Goals:
A.     Lose another 10-15lbs (Goal Weight: 155-160lbs).
B.     Take a Trip to one of the following:
a.      Boston
b.      San Francisco
c.      Vancouver, BC
C.     Be 160lbs for Kyle’s Wedding (8.2.14-I have 6.5 months to lose 10lbs).
D.     Go on a road trip to Southern Oregon & Northern California.
E.      Complete a least 10 items on my [100 in 1001 days] list-I completed 13 in 2013.
F.      Become a regular at church again (at LEAST twice a month).

Now I don’t think any of these goals are that far out of reach for me. The last one is really important to me as I’ve put my life first before God and I really need to change that. I used to be so close with him and I feel as if I’ve drifted and I need to get back to him. I believe I’m happier when I’m more consistent being with him and attending mass on a regular basis.

I am pretty sure that I will conquer the Read 20 books this year, as I already have 8 completed and I am half way into another book with TONS more lined up to read! I also only need 3 more new food experiences to finish off that list which I could probably do in the next few months as well. I want to make 2014 such a better year full of SO many great memories and trips!


So here’s to 2014 kicking ass!!! J
