With my 25th birthday quickly approaching I thought it would be great to layout things I want to accomplish this upcoming year. Last year was a great year for me with a lot of life changing events and moments. I find it much easier to be motivated when I have a goal in mind. I enjoy doing predetermined tasks and reaching goals I set for myself. The following list is not set in stone and items will be added throughout the year.
1. Finish painting all the rooms in my house- 2 bedrooms, 1 office, and 2 bathrooms
2. Read more! At least one book a month. Make time to sit and relax and continually educated myself.
3. Saving account total $X
4. Plant a garden in my backyard. Build a 12'x5'x16" garden box, fill with local organic soil, plant organic seeds, and harvest the vegetables when they are ready. This will help me to be self sustaining and save money
5. Plant trees!
6. Work out at least 4 times week for a minimum of one hour each visit to the gym
7. Take a digital photography class at the local community college or camera store
8. Make one new girl friend this year
9. Show Damien I love him every day. Do sweet random acts of kindesss.
10. See the world I live in. Travel to at least 3 different states this year.
11. See Cathleen in person. Enjoy a day talking and getting to know each other more. I have wanted to do this for over 10 years and am so glad that she is in my life again.
12. Plant flower bulbs in my yard. That way I can enjoy flowers every year
13. Ride my bike! To work, to the store, for fun, with friends, for excercise, etc. Better than being stuck in a car and it's better on the body and the environment.
14. Give presentations! This will help improve my public speaking skills and increase my confidence.
15. Lose weight and tone. Numbers 6 and 13 should help me with this goal.
16. Dance with Damien outside under the stars when we are all alone even if there is no music playing
17. Bake vegan deserts and cook vegan meals for family and friends!
18. Run a 5K
Wow, babe. You and I truly are on the same page. I just sat down today and decided that I needed to write down goals for 09' and visiting you was one of them. When I got your invite today..I happily read your list and thought check, check...and then when I saw myself on your list...I felt so loved back. I mean sure people think sweet things all the time, but when you get to hear them or read them in this case, it truly does brighten your day. So I just wanted to say you are truly the Sunniest person I know, I cherish you and I love you! Talk to you soon.

P.S. I have no idea why it's listing me as Cassandra, but I do so love the name. If I have a baby girl one day, this is the name I am thinking of calling her.
