2013 in Review

2013 was an interesting year to say the least. There were some ups and downs during the year, but I learned a lot about myself and where I want to go in life. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that God has a plan for me in my life. I know that I cannot always control what happens to me, but God is in control and he sees the big picture around the corner that I cannot see. I was able to travel twice, both times to places I have never been to before and both times by myself without knowing anyone. One of my goals in 2013 was to complete 5 bucket list items, but I completed 8 of them! Woo Hoo!!!!

I am hoping to complete at least 5 more in 2014; which ones should it be?
