One year later...

If you haven't checked out my birthday wish, be sure to click over!

WOW! One year ago today this blog was born! I cannot believe it has been this long, and that I have stuck with it. I remember that first post. I was stressed out about grad school, avoiding homework. This blog has provided me with more than I could have ever imagined.

On my very first post, I listed this:

Things to do before turning 26:

• Start a blog
  
• Take the 365 photo challenge (http://photojojo.com/content/tutorials/project-365-take-a-photo-a-day/)
• Move out of my apartment
• Find a Job
• Finish my honeymoon scrapbook and start/finish another travel scrapbook
• Watch less TV
• Exercise more
• Play the piano more
• Save money

Well, I was off to a good start with "Start a blog"... Check!


Now the 365 day challenge didn't turn out so well. I lost motivation, inspiration. However, I have started it again this year, and have thus far been successful!


I also graduated and found a job (after much anxiety and stress). The job prompted us to move out of our apartment and into a house! We were doing very well on "save money", however with the home purchase, we ran ourselves a little more thin than I would have liked. With our new home came a puppy, and less time to watch tv.


Overall, I did quite well. I wasn't successful on the scrapbook, exercise, and piano playing, however I believe overall, the year was good to me!

Now, things to do before turning 27:

• Save money
• Volunteer in at least 3 projects
• Exercise more
• Plant a garden!
• Put up a fence in backyard for puppy
• Make more time for friends
  
• Complete the 365 challenge and scrapbook the photos!
• Scrapbook at least 10 pages a month

I'm sure there are many more, however this is a good start.
