Welcome 2014

2013 flew by. I mean, went by so fast that I literally was scratching my head the other night wondering where the year went. I guess when you have a kid, everything happens rather quickly- at least, that's the only thing that I can think of that would make my year speed by as rapidly as it did!

I guess you can tell that one of the first things I did for this new year was change my blog!! I feel like I needed something new for the new year- I've changed and grown so much and The Vintage Apple just didn't fit anymore. I loved my old blog name and will still do some things from my days at TVA, but I just love Michelle's Desk...it encompasses everything that I am now and what I've grown into. Please make sure you update your readers to reflect www.MichellesDesk.com as my old URL (thevintageapple.com) is no longer in service. Please hang in there while I tweak some things around here!!!

2013 taught me so much...I learned how to cope with the baby blues, how to land myself in the ER with a gallbladder that went bad, how to smell like baby spit-up, how to be a better wife, how to get myself back in school, and how to handle being out of the classroom and in an administrator's shoes...2013 was a major learning year for me...and 2014 is going to be the year where I learn even more and try not to go crazy doing it!!

My 2014 goals are:

1. Go on a grown-up vacation with my husband.
2. Craft and DIY more.
3. Leave work at a decent time {before 8 pm}.
4. Go to church at least once a month.
5. Send cards and letters through snail mail at least once a month.
6. Exercise. Exercise. Exercise.
7. Eat better.
8. Write more!
9. Transform into a more organized person.
10. Don't sweat the small stuff.
11. Renovate portions of our house {definitely not by myself! We will hire someone!}
12. Continue with my 4.0 in grad school.
13. Blog consistently!!!

This is a living list, in my opinion...I will continue to add things to it and reflect on what I've accomplished any chance I can get!

What are some of your goals for 2014?
