The LIST Wrap Up

As you guys know, every year Mister and I do a resolution list that we hang up on the fridge and work on throughout the year. 

I am a big fan of lists and crossing things off so I really enjoy creating tangible goals.

So instead of things like 'eat healthier' (which is clearly still on our radar) we have items like 'make a headboard' (which, sadly, is still on our list).

And this year is no different- come back tomorrow for what we are working towards in 2014.

But before we move on to 2014, let's take a look back at 2013 and see how successful we were!

16.5/22, 75% isn't too shabby!

I'd say we did pretty well!!

But, let's talk about a few of the fails first...
New carpet- this one is on the books for very, very soon! I really promise this time!
The dang headboard. Seriously we ARE doing this this year. We have an extra door (from a project I totally forgot to blog about) that we are planning on painting and hanging.
Blog growth - the death of GFC made this a little harder to track but I have seen an increase in numbers all around so that's great!

Now on to the fun part!
Bathroom Remodel- I loved it at the beginning and still love it to this day.  You can't deny what a can of paint can do to a room. Even if that paint ends up on your kitchen floor first.
Eating dinner at the table more often - we really made an effort to do this and I am so happy we did.  I won't lie, there are still nights that we eat dinner on the sofa watching our shows BUT more dinners are happening at the table.
Buy my domain - clearly that happened and I love it!  I just renewed it for the year and it was not the easiest process.  Google really should rethink all of that.
Multiple house updates - these happened thanks to a lovely hail storm we had.  Nature forced our hand to fix those up and I didn't hate it.  And a crossed off item on a list, is a crossed off item no matter how it comes about.
Painting the front door was probably my favorite!

Edit and purge closets and drawers - Oh yes this happened and it was awesome.  There is still more to do but the multiple trips to Goodwill are evidence that this was successful.

For the past few years I've been doing a 'big' running goal and for 2013 it was to run a 10k.
Well, I did that and it was awesome, fantastic and motivating.
So as you can see, I added a half marathon to that list and was able to cross that one off times 3 (here, here and here).
As much as I loved doing house projects, DIY and organization, I am most excited about my running accomplishments.
The fact that last January my biggest goal was to do a 10k and I blew that out of the water by also running 3 half marathons (plus lots of other running) is pretty awesome!

And that's 2013!
On to 2014 (and bigger and better things!) tomorrow!
