I didn't do goals for last year. Both Wayne and I had set a goal of simply "Do Better." That was our 2013 motto I guess you could say.

We did "do better," but I also like having little goals and I like looking back on them from time to time and especially at the end of the year.  I don't like calling them resolutions, I like the word goal better. Resolution just sounds so harsh.

So, with that said, here are a few of my goals for 2014:
  • Go to the gym at least 3 times a week
  • Get toned
  • Cook more meals at home
  • Buy a house
  • Get pregnant with baby #2
  • More date nights or nights out with friends
  • Get organized with life
  • Blog consistently
  • Continue to pay off debts, improve credit and build savings
  • Wake up in the morning at a time so that I am not rushing out the door
  • Continue to explore all that is country music and with that, see more artists/concerts
I might update this list throughout the year or change them as that is what goals are for, right?

What are some of your goals for 2014?

I've felt the need lately to do a little reflecting. I feel like with every struggle there is also a success and so in order to see all of it, here is my year in review however brief it is.

Success - Wayne finally became full-time in February after 5 long years. Talk about being patient. Yay to health insurance and more money. He LOVES his job and it has been a life-long dream of his to be where he is at and I am so proud of all his hard work this year. Way to go honey!

Struggle - Finding time as a family of 3 or even just the 2 of us. We work opposite schedules so it can be rough sometimes, but I know it is not a forever situation and we are constantly working on our communication skills.

Success - My Husband is working his behind off for the better of our family. We have big dreams for 2014 (buy a house and baby #2).

Struggle - My blog has fallen so behind. It's always the first to go. Sad, but true.

Success – This little blog has helped me meet and make so many new friends this year (locally and nationally). I’m so grateful for this community I’ve found. I also attended BBC in October and made great new connections and met a few people in the flesh and not just through the computer.

Struggle - Building on our savings/house fund. It always seems like there is something more important that comes up.

Success - Wayne and I made HUGE steps in cleaning up our credit. Yay!

Struggle - Keeping up friendships and making time for my girls!

Success - I am so blessed to have the friends that I do and that they understand me and my family and love me through it!

Struggle – Finding a better balance in life in general...full-time paralegal, mommy & wife, part-time blogger and photographer.

Success – I have booked 2 weddings for next Summer. Which may not seem like a lot, but for a side business it's plenty.

Success - Keeping my family healthy and happy. I have the most beautiful little girl that fills my life with more joy than I have ever known and a Husband that works day in and day out in order for us to live. He is the most loving and un-selfish man I know and I am so proud to call him mine.

Happy New Year Friends!!

While I love this song so much, I don't really care for the awkward video. I get the meaning behind it, but I was hoping with this song being so beautiful, that they would make a beautiful video, too.
