Happy New Year

Remember last year when I gave that inspiring, motivating, & riveting post about new goals for the new year. ;) And then I promised you, "I'll let ya know next year how it turns out." Well, its been a year. It's been a wild, fun, and FAST year for the books and I am back to report, as promised.

I can happily say I was able to successfully cross off every goal I wrote down this time last year. It's a great feeling. Especially for a psycho, crazy, I have to, need to, have every. single. thing. planned. person like me. Seriously, I live off a list. And it drives me nuts when I can't cross everything off. It's probably a concerning condition. Sometimes I'll add something I did, that wasn't on the list, and then cross it off. It just feels so good!

So, as you can imagine, I was delighted to cross the last thing off my 2014 list the last month of the year.  This past year I was able to:

1. Max out on exam opportunities at work
2. Get a raise
3. Have my car more than half way paid off in less than a year
4. Teach Ruthie to spell and write her name
5. Teach Ruthie her alphabet
6. Save 'said' amount of money

Simple and some slightly obvious goals however, extremely effective. I guarantee if I wouldn't have wrote any of these down last January, none of them would have even happened. But I did and they happened and I feel good.

So welcome 2015, welcome. I welcome you with large and in charge open arms with an XL side of positive "let's do this" attitude. Because I have a large list waiting for you and Matt's already rolling his eyes at me. :)
