Christmas Break/New Years/Bucket List Update

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and/or a very Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year to you all! Hopefully, 2012 is going to be a great year for us all! :)

I was extremely grateful for being able to spend a lot of time with my family and it was so good to see my family. They loved their Christmas gifts which to me was the most important thing! 

Jordan did get to take my family on a really awesome tour of CNN now that he's working there, and we did get some quality family shots.

Bucket List Update - because really, this is quite needed.
In October, I was able to god to Scarowinds (Carowinds version of their Halloween celebration) which was so much fun. But since half is in South Carolina and the other half is in North Carolina, I was able to stand in two states at once. So number 92 is official crossed off :)

Half South, Half North

My sister is amazing and knows how to knit. She’s incredibly good at it and I don’t know how she does some of the things that she can do. So I have on the list, learn to knit. Well for Christmas, she got me some yarn. So I’m officially learning how to knit. Which means in a few weeks (hopefully) I’ll be able to say that I’ve made something. I think I’m going to wait to cross it off until I’ve finished making something.



A few days ago, the SEC released their 2012 Football Schedule. MInd you, as a huge college football, SEC and South Carolina fan, I was on the website the minute it came out. So now that I have to plan out how I’m going to be able to go to the maximum games possible (which would be great if I could cross off this other item on the list - 103. Go to every Carolina game in one season -  but I doubt that THAT’S going to happen any time soon. I’m just out of college! I’m still too poor for most of this stuff.) So if anyone wants to donate to me a couple seats that way I can save money to go to away games/ a couple of roundtrip flights. I’d be much obliged.  

GO GAMECOCKS!

So that’s a wrap on my planning at this point. Hopefully once everyone starts getting back to their normal routine and I can figure out when I can take some time off, I’ll be able to start planning for some trips and for other items to get crossed off!

Two weeks

I have pretty much two weeks until 2012.

Two weeks until the start of a new year.

A fresh start.

And with every year, I try to think of my resolution for the year. And yes, most years, I'm like most people. I think of a resolution, say "I WILL accomplish this this year!", do it for about two weeks, and then quit. But this year, I'm doing something different. I WILL accomplish my goal this year. Because what is my resolution? To be better at blogging. That at first, may not seem like the best resolution. But you see, I've decided to restart this blog not only as just something to get me through my first year of life, but I've decided to make this so that I actually complete things on my bucket list. But not just that. I'm going to make sure that at least one thing gets to be crossed off the bucket list EVERY month. 12 things at least this year. So world, be prepared.

Shits about to go down.
