My 44 Goals for This Year

I am still in the process of reorganizing my blogs and website so please bear with me as you see some random posts pop up here! Anyway, since this is my most personal of blogs, I have decided to move my annual goal list here so my travel blog can just focus on travel stuff. Besides, most of my goals involve some sort of financial investment in order to complete.

    It looks like a lot but since we are traveling this year we are hoping that most of these things will just fall in place. In fact, way after I wrote this list quite a few of these goals just kind of fell in our laps--my sister in law asked us to go to Las Vegas with her, my favorite blogging family just happened to be giving a presentation about twenty minutes from where we were, and I just happened to get an email about another Korean drama series but when I checked the site, the series I really wanted to see was there too. It seems like just writing out the list was a big part of making them happen!
