2014 Goals

With 2014 around the corner I think now would be a good time to publicly declare some personal goals I have for myself in the new year. Although I often suck at sticking to resolutions maybe this year will be different...then again maybe not!
1. Be better at saving  (Husband is excellent at this - his wife, not so much)
2. Limit hitting snooze to three times max
3. Take Finn for longer walks
4. Limit my sugar intake
5. Make a baby
(Brown Chicken, Brown cow!)
6. Take a camera class (read: learn Manual mode)
7. Do a color run (because it looks like so much fun!)
This is my sister rocking it in 2013!

9. Travel somewhere new (Yosemite is a must!)

10. Learn calligraphy
 
And there you have it - not necessarily in that order :)
What are your goals for 2014?

  2. These are a lot of my goals too except for making the baby. We need one more year alone first! I've got to get better about saving. My husband is 10 times better than me. Why are men able to save easier than us?! Oh yah because we're women and love to shop!

  4. Those are wonderful goals! I'd love to learn calligraphy as well...my cousin does it so beautifully, I'm always envious of her Christmas card when we get it in the mail. She did all my wedding invitations as well. It's a useful skill! Good luck on the baby making! =)

  11. I love your list! Making a baby, so exciting! I need to be better about saving too, it's so hard! And, I also need to limit my snooze button use. It's gotten so bad! For Christmas, Andrew got me a photography class at RayKo in the city, you should take it with me!!

  17. That is an awesome list. The color run was SOOOO much fun. And make a baby just thrown in the middle of the list. I love it.

  18. Great list!! In our house it's the exact opposite - I try to save and Aaron loves to spend ;) but I still want to do even better this year! A camera class is an awesome goal too - I need to do this, I absolutely don't understand my camera and I know it has the potential to take better quality pictures - user error ;))
    And making a baby...how exciting!!!

  26. Love your blog! I've been following for awhile now, and I'm coming out of the woodwork. I am trying to learn manual mode too. It's hard! P.S. We have the same name.

  27. Hmmm....I'm wondering how the first day of hitting the snooze went... :) And can we make a lunch bet on how long it lasts? David will tell me the truth.... :) xo sis
