First of all, did everyone see the new Toy Story 4 teaser trailer? All I can think about when I hear Buzz Lightyear's catchphrase are Ducky + Bunny.... but, back to business--
2018 was hands-down, the best year ever. I was going to do a whole post dedicated to all the fabulous things that I did in the past 365 days, but instead here's a calendar of my finest moments during my 22nd year around the sun:
January- Celebrated my 22nd bday at the casino with my besties + two years with my honey!

July- Visited Jenna in Fort Lauderdale with the Hinkle fam, helped execute a Disney Digital Network photo and video shoot + spent a week in Disney with my whole family (+ Jared and Jordie)

Highly recommend making yourself one of these "recap lists of 2018." I totally forgot about a lot of the things I did this year. Going back and reflecting on all of the good parts was the best thing I could have done. I'm so determined to make 2019 just as great, if not better than last year!
My 2019 New Year's goals are as follows:
1. Finally make it to the goal weight I've always wanted
2. Accomplish one new thing every month (do something I've never done or never tried)
3. Find a full-time job doing something I love
4. Continue to make commitments to myself and follow through (AKA stick to my resolutions!)
5. Practice self-care + self love- use a journal/blog more often!
I have a few other mini-goals but these are my top 5 goals for the year. I'll be blogging about number 2 specifically to tell you guys all about my new accomplishments and *hopefully* inspire you to try new things as well!
