2013: Sparklers & Goals

3, 2, 1...
Just like that, 2012 is gone and there we sat, ushering in the new year. Not sure about you, but I love watching the ball drop every year {even though it does seem a little anticlimactic.}  This year two of my best friends and I went out to fondue to celebrate one of my friend's birthdays and New Years! Chocolate fondue is my favorite, so naturally it was delicious.  When we got back home, we grabbed some sparklers and played around in the front yard for a while. I think it made for some fun pictures. If you're wondering, it took us three tries to get the 2013 picture. Definitely worth it ;) What did you do?

I've been thinking of my New Years goals all week. It's daunting to slap a list of tons of things I want to work on this year, so I've decided to come up with an overarching motto I will try my hardest to live by throughout this year:
To live fully in my present season of life

Being intentional with my time, money, resources and relationships is so important to me this year. A few other goals for the year are the following:

- drink more water

- continue to exercise & be more active

- focus on my career, listening to where God wants me

- serve people more, love better

- send a friend a package "just because" once a month

- practice patience

- travel somewhere new

- stick to a budget {student loans here we come!}

- step out of my comfort zone

- be more adventurous with food

- trust in the Lord more {proverbs 3:5}

- remember to be thankful, always

That does it. Welcome 2013! I'm excited for all you may bring! Share a goal or two you have in the new year...I can't wait to read them.

Happy January 1st!
Love,
