2018 New Year’s Resolutions

A list that says "I resolve to..."

There are many external reasons why I’m ready to say farewell to 2017, but internally I’ve never felt happier and healthier: Despite an unexpected move from our condo, Michael and I settled into our new space almost seamlessly.

The home stretch! I’m pretty glad that tomorrow is the last day of the challenge (and also a casual Friday so jeans are in my forecast). Today was a typical Thursday; we had our staff meeting this afternoon, but the mood was a little different due to all of the things happening in our state …
