{2018 is here}

wow, it's a new year!  i look back at 2017 and there have been lots of great times, lots of soul searching, and lots of growth.  i'm grateful for another year on this earth loving on my people.  this year i've set a few goals for myself.  last year, i met a few of my goals and nosed dived on a few too, but it's all good. ;)

this year's goals:
1. memorize 24 scriptures.  this will be hard for me.  i'm just being honest. but i'm going to attempt it and give it all i've got.

2. read 12 books (that i want to read, not that have to read...cause i read books at school all the time). i had this goal last year and missed it by one book.  one.  so this year, i'm hitting 12!

3. log 600 miles.  six. hundred. miles.  that's a lot.  i shared that with john and he kind of laughed.  not because he didn't think i could do it, (well it might have been this too) but because it's a lot.  these miles can be walking or jogging, elliptical, or biking.  i've created an excel spreadsheet to track my miles.  i've already got 2.  see, i'm off to a good an ok start.

4. learn something new.  i already know what it's going to be.  i've searched for a class and have found it. now i've just got to fork over the dough and start.  but i'm not in a rush. i'm thinking summer, cause who has time during the school year. 

5.  complete weekly blog posts using prompts.  i'm not a super reflective person and i think doing these will force me to slow down and think and many of the prompts were fun.

there you have it.  my goals.

we rang in the new year at the hahn's house.  we played some games and watched the ball drop.  the boys had a blast playing playstation and the girls pretty much did a bunch of things. i didn't take any pictures so i borrowed this from alicia.  ;)

happy new year!
