Here's to the Nights
This year I started this blog, moved to Arizona, lived in a studio apartment with Nicholas and Penny, turned 21, got an adorable niece, started my Society6 shop, had family visit us in AZ twice, experienced the Grand Canyon four times and got to hike it once, hand lettered quite a bit, hiked the most incredible Narrows you could ever imagine in Zion National Park, recorded a couple songs for fun with Nicholas, rode/drove in a car for over 30 hours so we could finally move back home, got a sweet nephew, started watching my niece part-time, joined a couple Skillshare classes that I love, hung out with my awesome friends that I dearly missed, finally got an iPhone, got a couple tattoos, received the coolest deer skull from Nicholas' mom after waiting a year for it, went apple picking and got donuts and cider with family like the years before, got engagement photos taken by our lovely wedding photographer, started doodling some more, enjoyed both Thanksgiving and Christmas with family, had some wonderful times and definitely some hard times, and had a year I never would have expected but totally needed.
Next year I have plans to finally start my own online shop, get into shape after years of struggling to find that balance, take more adventures and enjoy the outdoors more, plan our wedding, save money for a house and for life, see my friends more, draw and doodle more, take care of myself better every day, clean my room and rid myself of things I do not want or need, be more grateful, do more chores to help my mom without complaint, smile more, finally face my mental health and get help, live more simply, swim in Lake Michigan, kiss Nicholas (even) more, and overall find peace and balance for my mind, body, and soul.
Happy New Year, and may the odds be ever in your favor...
...but really, make 2014 a good one, make it count, let yourself be happy and find peace in all areas of your life where you need it.
