There are 5 ladies all doing a little something different and it's going to be a fun new journey!

For 2014 I've made some goals for myself:

I want to read 100 books. All books I haven't read before. I am reading fiction as well as leadership and management books. I am making a list of ones I want to read and I am loving them so far. That's 9 books a month.

I want to be healthy! I want to wear my size 8 jeans again and be able to hike Table Rock and not feel like I'm going to die. I want to be able to run a few miles and not collapse. 

I want to be closer to Jesus. I want to dig deep into his word to learn more about him and his plan for me the change the world! 

I want to be closer to my family. Not just my immediate but my cousins and Aunts and Uncles. We are all crazy but we are family and we can all learn something from each other.

I want to learn to cook. I can fend for myself pretty well but cooking for one isn't fun or exciting. I want to learn to prepare healthy meals that taste good and are good for me. I want to try at least 2 new recipes a month.

I want to get out of debt. Now this is going to take me longer than a year. I have school loans, a car and a stupid credit card. I want to do first things first and get rid of my credit card. That is a big goal for the year but I want it to be over 80% finished by January of Next year. Once I get that paid off, I will focus on my car. Carly is a great blessing but I want to pay her off at least 2 years early. Then once I have her paid off I will throw everything at my school loans. Those are my biggest regret. I took out WAY more than I needed for my school and spent it on things I didn't need and am now paying those back too. I beg all of my high school and college friend to really pray through your finances about College before signing up for those.

Those are my goals. I've set aside smaller goals for some of those big goals and I can't wait to see ALL that Jesus has planned for me in 2014 I know it is more than I could ever imagine!!
