I really love ringing in the new year.
There is a just something about a new beginning, a blank slate, a new adventure, that is just so exciting. And while a new date on the calendar doesn't actually change anything, I still love the idea of a fresh start.
So what do I expect in 2013?
- I will turn 26. (Note: This actually already happened on January 23rd) The slow crawl to 30 is becoming more of a fast-paced jog. Yikes! (The husband will turn 27 - why does 27 sound so much older than 26?)
- I will finish my master's degree. While I have already completed my coursework, I still have to defend my project in front of my committee. This has been tentatively scheduled for early March.
- A new tattoo - maybe two. I have a few designs rolling around in my head.
- A new soccer season of epic proportions for our local team. The national team will be playing to qualify for a little something called the World Cup.
- We will celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary!
- Our lease will be up on the house we are renting, and even though I'd rather not move, I'm pretty sure that we will be moving.
So those are things that I'm pretty sure will happen this year.
And here are some things that I hope will happen:
- We hope to go on a few road trips, which will hopefully help us meet our goal of visiting two more presidential libraries.
- We should be able to pay off our credit card balance.
- We plan to start seriously saving money to purchase a home.
- I would REALLY like this to finally be the year that I get down to a healthy weight.
I'm sure we will set more goals as the year goes on, but I wanted to go ahead and get this posted since I've procrastinated for so long already.
I am really looking forward to all that this year has in store. It is going to be a great year, I'm sure!
