Welcome to 2020! Better late than never right? I’ve rounded up the best highlights of 2019 and listed out my new goals for the new year!
2019 Highlights
2019 was a year for the books! We had two amazing life altering changes happen and we couldn’t be more thankful for a wonderful year!
First, in February my husband graduated from the fire academy and became a fire fighter – something he had aspired to do for nearly 10 years! The fire academy was quite the experience – 8 full months of rigerous academic and physical tests. The fire academy was a full time job, and Marc often had to complete additional workouts, and extensive amounts of studying at home each night and over the weekend. He was usually exhausted – mentally and physically, but graduated 8 months later as a fire fighter, making the journey well worth it!
Second, we welcomed our sweet baby girl, Blakely Nicole into the world in September. She has been the absolute best addition to our family and we are completely smitten with her! I plan on sharing her birth story soon! My pregnancy was considered high risk and a bit tough and overwhelming at times, but I would do it a million times over considering it brought us her!
2020 Goals
I’ve been thinking about New Years resolutions a lot, and decided I’d make a few goals for the new year. It was about time I shared them:
- Spend as much quality time as possible with my family. I absolutely adore these people and they are my greatest blessing in life!
- Read more and scroll less – I love to read, it’s actually one of my favorite leisure activities. I just haven’t made the time since Emerson was born over 3 years ago lol. This year I’ve made the goal to read 15 books – one book per month and a few extra for good measure! I plan on sharing what I am reading so stay tuned.
- Blog more! I actually really enjoy writing down my thoughts and creating posts I can come back to later! I also really enjoy taking pictures and finding clothing at affordable prices – I do some personal shopping for some of my friends!
- Last and not least – fall in love with my body again. Although I’m not so sure I’ve ever been “in love with,” my body ever I’ve had some harsh thoughts about my body these past few years and this is the year I’ll recognize and appreciate it for what it’s done – brought my beautiful babies into this world .
Anyone else make any new goals for the new year? I wanted to write my down to hold myself accountable. This way I can check in periodically and see how I am doing. Hope 2020 brings you everything you wish for and more!
