Oh Hey, 2015!

New Years day is an exciting time for us all. 

A clean slate.

A day we collectively decide to leave the past in the past and become different people.

Its kinda cool that we all decide to try to become better at the same time. 

I almost feel like we should have "resolution support groups". 

Well it just wouldn't feel right if I didn't post a list of goals I have for 2015. 

Complain Less

Run a 5k 

Play my Uke

Do all the readings for my classes

Drink more water 

Blog at least once a week 

Have a successful Etsy shop

Volunteer at the MTC 

Save money

"Seek" everyday.

Make a mission scrapbook 

Wear the things I already own.

And above all: 

Try my best.

Here are a few of my favorite "end of the year" videos:

And an old favorite video that gives some great ideas about setting and sticking to goals. Its kinda long, but I this has really changed me. (skip ahead to about 1:45)

Aaaaannnnd (for posterity sake)....
My very first photo (and instagram post) of 2015:

Pre-mission List:

I didn't think that I wanted to make any major New Years Resolutions 

because I figured that a mission is a pretty big resolution.

But I do have a list of things I would like to do before I leave for da mish. 

Consider this my "Before Feb. 20th Resolutions"

Some are dumb, some are serious, but guess what? They are MINE.

so #sorrynotsorry

-Wear Lipstick more often. I'm talking at least twice a week. It gives me confidence.

-Find a great Sister Missionary outfit balance. 

(Things that mix and match and as much as possible things I already own.)

-Work on my calling a little bit each day. Take one step a day. 

-Do one cleaning job a day. (Even if it's small)

-Wear skirts in casual situations. Not just church.

-Wear my hair natural once a week. 

-Reach out/ catch up with one friend a day.

-Watch all of Doctor Who on Netflix.

-Find opportunities to be patient
-Be in the moment more

-Appreciate Drops of Awesome

-Work on Spanish

-Go to Trader Joe's

-Attend the temple

-Learn a butt-load of crap about the gospel
