2013 is already turning out to be an exciting one, and like most everyone else I have some pretty big resolutions and goals for this year. I think I'm finally getting used to being an adult and not a college student anymore. If you haven't experienced this yet.. It's an adjustment. It certainly does help that I love my job, my Fort Worth friends- and Dallas too, I guess! and that my family is close by.
So here's the Top 5 (but is not limited to) things I want to accomplish in 2013..
1. Buy a house.
I've been researching houses since I moved back in June, but have been seriously looking for 3 months now. I have a love for real estate and especially old homes that have already been updated, or need a little bit of work. I'm mostly looking near TCU and Camp Bowie. The homes in that area have so much character and are exactly what I envision for myself and my first home.
2. Get my pilots license.
This is something I have wanted to do most of my life. I will be the fourth generation of pilots on my dads side and know how much it would mean to my great grandfather, grandpa and dad to keep aviation in the family. Hopefully, someday, my future husband and family will also appreciate my love for small airplanes.
3. Get involved with a church in Fort Worth
When I first moved back to Fort Worth, I tried a few different churches but never found a place that I really loved. I didn't mind going to Church by myself, but have been praying for a friend to sit next to on Sundays and thankfully have found that through work! I went to the 5:00 service at Christ Chapel in Fort Worth tonight with my sweet friend, Stephanie, and felt so much at home.
4. Get in shape
Well there it is, the most popular and rarely followed of new years resolutions. I have been very slowly working on this goal for the last few weeks by way of "Couch to 5k" app and pinterest workouts. But I'm just going to bite the bullet and do "insanity" again because I really did love it when I did it in college and it gets you in shape FAST. I've also signed up for the Cowtown 5k- A race I've always wanted to do.. being from Fort Worth and all. I look forward to getting back in shape and doing other races this year like the Color Run and Turkey Trot.
5. Travel
By far one of my favorite hobbies whether it be internationally, or just a weekend trip to Lubbock. I love to travel, experience new places and also revisit my favorite spots. In my mind, I see a few roadtrips with friends, a ski trip, a prospective Vegas trip with my best friends from Nursing school, and maybe a beach vacation to scruba dive. Dare to dream, right?
Well, that's all for now. I'll leave you with this. Overplayed, but you know you love it as much as I do..
