Year 27 Goals

I am officially 27. I have done a lot of growing in the past year. [and some shrinking too, I lost 15lbs.] I feel like I am, more than ever, on the straight and narrow path that God wants me to be on. I feel such a peace about my career, my family, and my future. No better place to be than in God's will. I am amazed at all the wonderful things He brought my way last year, I can't wait to see what He has planned for me in this new year of life!
Last year I posted my "Year 26 Goals." Let's see how I did.

I don't like to make resolutions, I'm more of a goal girl. Last year I posted a "This Year I Will" and crossed a lot off the list.

not spend money on beauty products i don't need 

actually read some books

travel more (even if it's just to see my grandma)

save more money

go to a tigers game (last year that never happened) 

buy a marc jacobs handbag (again, didn't happen last year) 

learn to sew

see a broadway muscial

use my singing voice for God

not be so impulsive with itunes purchases

cook and bake more (the food needs to be edible) 

put more effort into growing friendships

take more pictures

Time to make some new goals for 2014! (I might take some from last years list too)

run a 10k

go and visit my cousins in Texas I haven't seen in 5+ years (or even met at all) 

buy a Michael Kors watch

grow my hair out

read one book (I need to set the bar at an achievable level) 

continue my gluten/dairy free lifestyle
spend more time in God's word
continue working on communication in my friendships

*God continues to remind me how much He loves me by his grace and continued blessings on my life. I really do think I am His favorite. I am excited and anxious to see what 2014 will bring my way.*
