Okay. 4 days and then it’s the last Monday of January…haha WHAT? I just turned 22 though. That’s crazy in and of itself. But every last Monday of the month Andrea and Erika host a link-up. This year, it’s “Let’s Talk” and this month, it’s all about New Years.
Seeing as I am hosting my online Bible study on Mondays, I decided to post mine today so I could still link-up on Monday.
A couple weeks ago for Show and Tell Tuesday, I introduced myself. Part of that post was dedicated to my new year’s resolutions. This my 2016 bucket list…you can click the link above for the explanations to each 🙂
This year, i’m focusing on health and fitness, so physically I want to:
*Be able to look at myself in the mirror and be proud of what I see.
*Get my group exercise certification.
*Work out 5 times/week no matter what is going on.
*Finally get a gym membership.
This year, i’m focusing on contentment, so spiritually I want to:
*Go on a mission trip.
*Spend each morning in Quiet Time.
*Join a small group.
This year, i’m focusing on independence, so socially I want to:
*Graduate college.
*Find a (full-time) job.
*Say yes this year.
This year, i’m focusing on happiness, so mentally I want to:
*Do something i’m uncomfortable with.
*Find happiness with something.
*Be in my room at 10:30PM.
*Work on being satisfied.
And this is what i’m looking forward to this year, or what i’m hoping each month holds!
January:
Turning 22.
February:
Working our Church’s high school retreat. Fuller House premiering. My friend Valley having her second baby.

Spring break and possibly going to Omaha. Going to see Morgan one weekend (maybe)! Em coming home for her birthday weekend.
April:
The semester ending!!! This is all I can think about, y’all!
May:
Celebrating momma for Mother’s Day. Having a month off of classes until my summer term!
June:
Maybe going on vacation with my pops! Celebrating another Father’s day for the ol’ man.
July:
Dad’s birthday. Ry’s birthday. Possibly attending a mission trip!
August:
Rick’s birthday. GRADUATING COLLEGE.
This Fall will be interesting since i’ll be graduated and possibly with a full-time job. OH BOY.
September:
Morgan’s birthday. Seeing grandpa for his birthday.
October:
Halloween.
November:
Thanksgiving.
December:
Christmas.
Now I can’t wait to look back at this post in December and see what actually happened in 2016! I’m sure i’ll be adding to this list and I think of more but it’s almost 1AM and i’m tired and therefore my brain has shut off on me. You know how that goes. #nightowllife

I love this because even though you have what’s going on each month, we have no idea how your year will actually turn out! Graduating college and starting a real job is so exciting. I have to say it’s a lot of change all at once but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this new phase in my life and I’m sure you will too!!

Girl I feel you on looking in the mirror and being proud of what I see. I struggle with this far more than I’d like to admit.
you have such a fun year planned. I was so stoked when I graduated I could hardly focus on anything haha.
I don’t know about you but I’m turning 22!!!!
Have you started looking for jobs? I started looking before I graduated and it took me 6 months from graduation to get a job!
