My resolutions for 2015 and a brief check in with my 31 by 31 BucketList.

YoWoZeR! It is 2015 already!

This year is looking like it is going to be quite a year of change and new chapter stuff.

Husband and I plan on (or more aptly put: have prayed about it and want to) moving to St Louis, getting new jobs, buying a house, and ceasing our usual birth control methods.

I have made my resolutions for this year, which normally I don't subscribe to, but I figure I need to strengthen my stick-to-it-ness. I have found that my bucket lists have succeeded in getting me off my bum so I have decided that I will start a quarter year resolution plan. I will make resolutions that I have to stick with for 3 months. If I decide to continue with the same resolution for the the next 3 months, Awesome! If I finish it up and I don't feel like repeating it, Extra Awesome!

January - March Resolution: Complete P90 with my best friend, Mugsy! (started on Dec 29th!)

Resolutions to be addressed come the first of each quarter:
April - June
July - September
October - December

I also feel as though I should attempt to live by Walt's words: Whatever you do, do it well!

...and now a little check in with my 31 by 31 list as I am 4 months out from my 31st birthday. I went ahead and picked my 3/4 birthday challenges
