TWENTY THIRTEEN

Today is the first day of a brand new year. 2013.

Crazy how the years just keep flying by. 2012 was an awesome year for me. My husband and I got to have a wedding (on our 1st year anniversary) and finally share that moment with our family and friends. And we got to take our very first trip together- our honeymoon! We were blessed to get the opportunity to go somewhere we've both always wanted to go- Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida! 2012 also brought new jobs for the both of us and blessed us in more ways then we could have imagined. Although it was a great year, I am only more excited to see what 2013 may bring.

I have seen so any complaining or making fun of the timeless tradition of making new year resolutions. While I am not someone who necessarily makes resolutions, what is wrong with that? Yes, you might fail by February.and yes, it's good to make changes and goals at all time and just not on a predetermined date. But it's the way a brand new journal makes you want a new pen to write in it, a new house may be a good time to change your style, or how when you get that new unscratched phone, you promise yourself that this time you wont ever throw it in your bag or in the same pocket with your keys. New things make us think we can change. So I say, a new year is a fantastic time to make new goals and changes for the better.

My goals are simple (well easier said then done, I guess) this year: drink more water and less soda, make healthier choices, make more time for God, friends and family, and follow God's direction in my life as I continue seeking Him in all things for myself and my family.

2013 will bring great things.
