Some time ago, I created a list. This list highlighted goals that I hoped to achieve by the time I was ancient. Uh, I mean, 30. ;)
(*Numbers 4 and 21 were reached back in the old blog days.)
I forgot about the list for awhile, but today while I was cleaning up our hard drive, I stumbled across it. Much to my surprise, I was able to cross off three goals! I was basking in my accomplishment, considering buying myself a pack of gold stars when reality set in. 23 goals are unmarked. Yikes. Birthday number 25 is looming in the months ahead, so I should probably print this baby off and start carrying it around with me:
(*Numbers 4 and 21 were reached back in the old blog days.)Since photos make posts so much more enjoyable, below is proof of the checked off achievements:
22. Throw my parents a 25th anniversary party.
In late April, my sister and I threw a party in celebration of my parents reaching the milestone of 25 years of marriage (dang it - I still haven't blogged those images...maybe that should be on the list as well...). They also chose to renew their vows at the occasion (in the photo on the right). Aren't my mom and dad the cutest? :)
27. Grow my hair out (including my bangs!)
This may not seem like a huge accomplishment, but for me - the queen of hair fickleness - this is monumental. I had side bangs for years, and I would rotate color, cut, and style to feed my need for variety. I decided to grow my hair out for something new (and for a test of patience :)). I'm pretty proud of myself, but...I'm going back to side bangs in a week or two when I visit my fabulous stylist/friend, Shirley. I gave it a good run, but in my life, side bangs are like that ratty baby blankie you just can't seem to get rid of. You try to shove it under the bed for a few months, but eventually, you pull it back out because you just miss it too much. :)
10. Build a new, amazing blog for our business.
Well, here we are. :) I didn't actually build the blog myself - the awesome people at Into the Darkroom can be thanked for that part! But I have made it our own - adding branding, images, text, and postings. Plus we paid for it, so that has to count for something. :) Side note: Photographers, if you're looking to upgrade you internet marketing, definitely check out ITDR. These guys also built our website, and truly took our business to another level. They have lots of different options for a variety of budgets, and all of their work is top notch! P.s. Our little site and blog are featured on the homepage! :)
