2015 goals

Every year I like to sit down and make goals (or, eh, resolutions, I guess). Once I started making birthday goals, the New Years ones got a little less in number and became more of a big picture. After writing down my goals for 2015 I looked back in my goal book (yes a book of goals, 'cause that's how cool I am). Four years of goals is a pretty awesome thing to look back and reflect on. It's interesting to see how my goals have changed and how I have even changed over the years. 

So anyway, getting back to this year's goals. They are simple, but to the point. 

I wrote try to like running, because I hate it. I'm the type of person that claims "If you see me running, it's the end of the world", so to me this statement is a big one. 
I also wrote journaling, which tends to be a common goal every year. I love journaling, but for some reason it's hard for me to continue throughout the work, so in the meantime I'm making it a priority goal. To make sure at least the big things are written down, the third goal got instated (see below). 
My last goal is a work/personal one. One of the things I love about my new teaching job is how much they value reading and one of our goals as a teacher is to red 30 books by the end of the school year. I already had read 28 books in my 27th year (birthday goal) so this means I have to read even more (which the dork in me loves). 

 So there they are- my 4 simple and hopefully realistic goals for 2015. 
I CANNOT WAIT.

Washington, D.C. (part II)



 And part II of photos, with a lot of emphasis on Abe Lincoln I suppose. But hey- he's my fave . Oh and notice the last photo- it's me doing my Abe impersonation right by the Abe monument. Pretty much awesome, I know. 
Thanks for hanging in there with me!!

Washington, D.C. (part I)

 First off, photo overload about to occur. Just thought you might want the warning and to know there is another part coming!
But anyway, this was an amazing trip! I wish we could have stayed longer (or forever.....).

Well folks, there's part 1. I really only took photos of sight-seeing, none of the hanging out, which I partly regret. 
Oh these photos- I miss DC already and the food- Astro Donuts and We the Pizza are absolutely amazing!!!!!
