happy new year!

so here it is, y'all.  the end of 2016, the start of a new year.  we can all make resolutions, say "new year, new me," etc., etc., but let's be completely honest here...i like myself the way i am.  i mean, yes, there is always room for improvement, but that's not quite the same thing as outright change is it?  so, like in years before, instead of resolutions i'm making a list of goals.  i fully intend on using lauren conrad's idea to write these down and frame them so i have a daily reminder of the things i'd like to accomplish in 2017.  because if you commit it to paper AND your blog, then you have to do it, right?  riiiiight.  ok, so here goes:

• learn spanish and not be afraid to speak it.
• learn to play guitar.
• run a half-marathon.
• write down some of my grandparents stories.
• start yoga.
• build lucas's blocks, my bed, and a few other projects.
• pick up painting.
• more concerts.
• see a symphony orchestra play.
• send more snail mail. 

 hope 2017 brings us all joy and good fortune!  happy new year!
