What Will 28 Look Like?!

Today, I begin a new journey and I have a new attitude and new outlook to go along with the journey! 27 was a fantastic year full of lots of adventures, new experiences and lots of challenges.  I enjoyed 27 and for that reason have a great feeling for 28! To make sure it is a great year I am setting some goals for the year but before we begin let's review 27...

--Traveled out of the country for the first time
--Ran my first 5K without stopping
--Lost 40 pounds
--Got engaged
--Moved to Zionsville
--Began a new job
--Traveled to St. Louis for the first time
--Went for a propelled parachute ride
--Learned how to manage my money as a REAL adult {this still is not so easy, OR fun}
--Stepped out of my comfort zone LOTS

Phew...27 was fantastic but it is time for a new, more exciting adventure with 28. I am not sure what 28 looks like but I am ready for the ride of my life with a few thoughts on things I would like to accomplish this year! With 2013 right around the corner I think this is the year for me after all it is 2013 and my date is 13 so this is a good sign, right?!

  My day started with opening the gifts I had saved to open until it was my actual birthday. I brought the gifts and cards into my bedroom and had them waiting for my alarm to go off! I then went to work where my wonderful co-workers and students filled me with lots of birthday love. From birthday cake, to hugs and decorating the white board I didn't go a moment without feeling the love! In the meantime my phone was blowing up from all my friends not so near sending and filling me with their love! 

From today forward I would like to...
--treat myself and not feel guilty
--run at least two 5Ks
--travel to Wales and spend at least 2 weeks there
--complete at least 28 random acts of kindness
--step out of my comfort zone {more often than not}
--send birthday cards {on time or early}
--host or attend a Pinterest party
--become a Thirty-One consultant 
--volunteer my time with a new place
--start the immigration process with Andrew {I don't have much control, but here is hoping...}

This, by no means is an exhaustive list but it is a start.  If you have any ideas or suggestions, please share! If you would like to join in on any of the adventures, let me know, I like company! Here is to a great year! Here is to 28...
