2014 Resolutions

 

My 2013 has been quite the year. 
I found out I was pregnant on January 13th, 2013 -- my grandmas birthday. 
I moved to Kansas.
I had the baby (October 2nd) and then found a job. 

Now all of the sudden, it's almost 2014. It has all happened really quick. I practically have my whole 2014 planned out too so I know THAT is going to pass quickly. I'm excited but also hope it doesn't pass as quickly as I think. 

Here are my 2014 goals:

- Get rid of the clothes I never wear - I have so many clothes. I have a ton of clothes that I never wear, that don't fit me, that I hate the way they look on me (because they don't fit me). I'd have much more closet space if I'd get rid of the stuff that doesn't fit me. Then I'd have room for MORE CLOTHES!
- Finish Associates degree, start WSU in Fall - I'm excited about this. I have big plans and I'm very excited about my professional future.
- Volunteer to a cause that I really believe in - I'm thinking the Kansas Democrats or some kind of human rights groups locally.
- Get a job that is in or near the career field I want - I want to do this but I'm not sure when would be a good time during the year. I guess I'll figure it out.
- Wear more dresses - I'm not naturally comfortable in dresses. When I was younger (like elementary/middle school), I'd try to wear shorts under my dresses because I hated them. I don't mind them so much now and I want to be more comfortable in them. I'm getting more and more used to it.
- Pump/Breastfeed Arry until she's 1 -- and continuing pumping after that - This is a priority. Arry is the most important (along with Harriet and Noel) so I'm going to make this happen.
- Make local friends - women who are strong and smart. I just like being surrounded by these types of people. Most of my friends are smart and strong women who empower themselves and other women. It's just who I prefer to be around.

- Give priority to my relationship with my love -- relationships are hard, even ours and we can read each others minds. We started out with great communication and trust. All of that is still there but with our new jobs and the baby and everything, it's hard to continue with our great communication and making time for each other since we're both exhausted and stretched thin most days. We do love each other and we want to be together. We both know that relationships are work -- even the easiest ones. We got this. It just takes work. 


Bring on 2014!
