Happy New Year and all that other wonderful BS your supposed to say this time of year. This post is almost a week late, so it's seems silly saying it now. Anyway, 2012 was a pretty darn good year for us. Kyle's business increased in clients this year and he is getting ready to start some new ideas to increase business even more in 2013. I was pretty good at sticking to my resolutions from last year. I switched from teaching middle school back to elementary which has really decreased my stress level. Teaching elementary is where my heart is and I hope I get to teach first grade for a few more years. I really focused on getting fit this year. I have been working out with a trainer for the last 9 months and this pushes me to get out of my comfort zone and into the gym. I have seen results, but I want to continue to push myself even further this year. Even though we are a week into the new year, I have yet to make some definite resolutions. So instead, here are some things that I am looking forward to in 2013.
iPhone 5- Blackberry's suck and I'm counting down the days until I can upgrade to an iPhone. 40 days until I can enjoy the perks of having an iPhone (hello, Instagram).
Disneyland Half Marathon in September- Yep, I'm signing up for a half marathon. I would never in a million years think that I would do this, but I am. After watching my brother run the Disney half last September I became really motivated to start running. Plus, I was super jealous of the medal he got at the end of the race. Talk about motivation! All joking aside though, running has helped me unwind and focus on myself. It has helped me stay focused on my fitness goals. I have a lot of training to do to prepare for this race, but I have time.
150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg- We are going to Pennsylvania in July to visit the site of the battle of Gettysburg. It just so happens that this year is the 150th anniversary of the battle, which means lots to see and do, lots of tourists and high prices for everything. I'm not super excited about the whole battle site stuff, but Kyle is. He loves learning about the Civil War. I am excited though about going to Pennsylvania and I plan on including some sightseeing that I would enjoy into the trip. Hmmmmm, I wonder if there are cupcake places in Pennsylvania?
What are you looking forward to this year? Hope your year is a good one! If not, well then there is always next year!
