2015: The Year of Change

2015 is going to be a big year for us. Last year I posted my "word of the year" as opposed to resolutions per say. My word was "consistency", and I wanted to achieve that in a variety of ways. Looking back, I really nailed this in some ways and in other ways- totally missed the mark.

I wasn't as consistent in my health as I would have liked to have been. There were weeks that I was right on it: going to yoga, eating a good breakfast every day... and then there was times where things were chaotic. I'm going to continue to strive for more healthier days, weeks, and, overall a better year.

I was a lot more consistent with my relationships. Part of this was learning to let go, a relationship will only work if there is effort on both ends. It was an incredibly hard lesson to learn, but I know that true friends will stand by and love me no matter what. True friendships will withstand the ebbs and flows of life, and sometimes that means stepping back from people I love- even if it hurts.

So, that's my summary of 2015. In two sweet, short paragraphs... haha. Of course I could recap better,  expand on the things that I struggled with and overcame. I want to keep looking forward, and be excited for the things that are to come! Unfortunately, part of our holidays had a damper put on them with me getting sick. I got nailed with the flu, luckily it didn't get to my stomach- but I was hit with a nasty cough. So frustrating that I couldn't enjoy Christmas/New Years the way that I wanted to. I was pretty lucky that both families we celebrated with (Kyle's and mine) were gracious and allowed me to rest, enjoying as much as I could even though I wasn't feeling so hot.

Things I'm Looking Forward to in 2015

1. Kyle graduating as a Civil Engineer. Whoop! This is probably one of the biggest things I'm pumped for. This is such a huge accomplishment for him, and I am so excited to celebrate him and how hard he has worked these past four years. 
2. Moving/entering a new phase of life. I don't know where we will end up, and we are pretty open to anything. I'm praying that God will show us clearly where He wants us to be, and will open the door to those opportunities. I'm excited to see what life looks like with us both done school, and the opportunities that will allow us. 
3. Travelling more. I'm hoping for at least one sweet trip this year. I'm not sure where that will be, or even if it will be that faraway. No matter where though, I know we will make great memories for life. 
4. Continuing to eat healthier, love our bodies better, and become more active in fun ways. 
5. Digging deeper into my relationship with the Lord. 
6. Deciding what is right for me when Kyle finishes school, and where that might take me. Whether its further in my career, furthering my education, or something totally new- I'm excited to explore that. 
7. Turning 24, on the 24th! My Golden Birthday. 
8. Blogging more often, because I love looking back and seeing how much has changed. 
9. Using my sewing machine way more, and taking a quilting class. 
10. Camping!!! Need I say more, we only ended up going once this past year: unacceptable. I want to go way more this summer. We had Onyx in a tent the first time and she did awesome- so I'm not afraid to do that again this year. 

I could probably come up with some more serious or silly resolutions. But for now, I'm just resting on the fact that 2015 is going to be a good one. That, and I'm also high on cold medicine so I don't really want to think that hard. Hahaha. 

Keep it real sweet readers, and may 2015 bring you health, happiness and hope.
