My birthday came and went, quietly again, like last year. I guess that's what birthdays do as you get older. Of course, no birthday of mine is complete without a list of lofty goals and ambitions for the coming year.
I make a list every year and I feel like I tend to add things that are maybe just a tad bit unobtainable, maybe I'm too optimistic about the future and what I can realistically get done with my current schedule. Last year was a total fluke because I had no idea what life was going to be life after having a baby and seemed to think maternity leave would allow for all kinds of free time...ha! This year I have tried to set extremely realistic expectations for myself and have even come close to obtaining several items on the list already...yay!
1. Work out and get into shape
- Getting there, almost all the baby weight is gone and now I'm working on getting my stomach flat again
2. Create a photobook of L's first year
- Hoping to have this complete for her birthday party
3. Take a trip with Mike sans baby
- Scheduled for the end of next month!
4. Pay down a good portion of our debt
5. Set up a short term and long term savings account
6. Go on a hike
- We are visiting Vermont soon and hoping to get in a couple of hikes with the baby!
7. Visit Morocco
- This is tentatively set for March
