2012: The Year of Goals

So its a new year and with a new year there are new goals. Here are a few I would love to mark off my bucket list:

1. Take Family Photos: You would never realize how hard that is being a military family.

2. Make exercise more important: This will be the year that I mark off my running goals and live a healthier life. I also would love to take up a couple new sports. I see Tennis, Golf, and Boxing in my future :)

3. Become an AFTB instructor: Teaching old and new spouses the military way of life. Guess that makes me a teacher :)

4. Eat Vegan 2x a week

5. This is the year that I graduate

6. Make Friends: Old and New, always nice to reconnect

7. Greet everyone with the joy I feel being in their presence: Its important that the people I love and appreciate know that this year. Also important that people I meet know I appreciate their time.

8. Find a Church: T is making a the choice to go and I am meeting him half way by attending the church that supports his religion. Thankfully we are from a similar belief system. I'm excited to find our church family and seek out God.

9. Be a family 

10. Make more of an effort to blog both here and at my new exercise blog



I've Been Published!

It's official - As of November 2011 I have been published in the Ft C MWR Life Magazine, not only as a model but as a writer too! My article was a human interest piece on Veterans Day, a different spin on the history article that was published on the holiday in 2010.

40,000 copies are passed around the area, as well as the online copy which is seen around the world. This not only gets me a local recognition but also a little ribbing from my friends. I've officially been titled "The face of downtown shopping", no pressure - right?

So as of November I can officially mark off another Bucket List goal... Oh and the good news? They liked me and my writing so much that I am also going to be in the December issue as well! This time I'm sharing ideas for "White Elephant" presents and three recipes!
