2010 Accomplishments and 2011 Goals

I have not accomplished nearly as much in 2010 as I had hoped, but I did accomplish a number of things from my bucket list. I decided to take this blog to write down each of the things off of my bucket list that I compleated & the date I compleated the goal on (I date everything I tick off of my list). I do need to update my list though and remove a few things that simply are not possible (or at least in my control to add), and add a few new goals I have. After I share the things I accomplished this year, I will discribe a few things I hope to accomplish in 2011 (not list off different things I want to do, but I may list a little). So here is what I accomplished in 2010:

That is all I did in 2010. In 2010 my main goals are to move to Colorado, work on my tech degree for a better job, seek out a stronger faith and hopefully work through at least one of the Beth Moor Bible Studies each month of the year. I have a few other goals on my list I have began in 2010 and will hopefully continue or finish in 2011. I would also like to keep getting in better shape and keep growing my hair longer. I also want to buy my new MAC I have been waiting forever for. 2010 has not been the best year. It has actually been quite depressing reading through many of my blogs over the 2010 year... I will not set my expectation incredibly high because it never seams to happen & I don't want to let myself down, but 2010... I'm ready to end. Ready for a new beginning. Happy 2011 Everyone!! My next update will be next year!!!! :) See you on the other side...

A New Beginning

I am honnestly looking forward to New Years 2010 more than any other New Year so far in my life. Every year seams to get more difficult and I enjoy it less and less. For those of you who do not already know, 2009 was a very difficult year for me. After leaving school at Toccoa in 2008 things have not quite been the same for me. I made a list of a few ideas on things I wanted to do instead of school, but never accomplished them. I ended up returning to school at Lyndon only to realise I hated that place more than ever. I have just recently dropped out of school again and moved to the midwest where my man Chad Collier lives. If one good thing happened this year it was meeting him. I met him in April, but it was not until late June that I was with him. 6 Months now hard to believe... I spent most of that time at Lyndon. I realised my studies at Lyndon were far from what I wanted to be doing. I very well may return to school one day, but at the moment I will continue doing what I am good at (being a dropout). At the moment I am in need to look for a job so I can establish myself, get my own apartment (currently at Chad's) and begin my life. I have made once again a list of countless things that I wish to do while not in school as well as a bucket list of things to do before I die. I am pretty adventerous so many of them are pretty crazy, but I intend to persue each one of them! I am excited for the new year... I am excited to start over and have a new beginning. I anticipate many adventures to come so keep chequing my blog for the latest posts on what I am up to. I will try to keep it up to date. As for tonight it is a quiet night here... Chad has the flu and I have been messing around on the computer with iTunes for the last few days. I did return to First Presbyterian Church this week. I went there last week and it was pretty nice. I met more people this week. It looks like there are lots of oppertunities to get involved and meet people. The church seams pretty good so far, the only drawback is having to drive across the city because it is downtown. I finally learned how to get there though :)

Well Thats all I have to say for now. I hope you all have a VERY Happy New Year 2010!!
