Tonight is my last night as a 27-year-old. The time just flew by. So many things happened this year, and yet there were still many goals I didn't get to achieve. Looking back at this list, I was not very successful. But I'm not disappointed. I had a great year. I gathered the strength to leave an unhappy situation and went on to live my life exactly the way I wanted to. I laughed often, I cried out loud, I worked hard, I learned to say no. So Twenty.Eight., bring it. I'm ready for you.
1. Read 10 books
The Walking Dead: Compendium 1 , Game of Thrones , The Strain , The Fall , Before I Go To Sleep , The Other Wes Moore (I didn't finish this one) , The Hunger Games , Catching Fire , The Passage , Day by Day Armageddon
2. Bake a layer cake [Never happened]
3. Knit a blanket or scarf [It's in the works!]
4. Take more pictures
5. Blog more regularly [You can be the judge of that]
6. Cook more [Guilty]
7. Reorganize digital library [Slowly, but surely]
8. Go out and have more fun
9. More Skype dates [Never happened]
10. Be responsible on checking my voicemails [Yuck, on to the next one]
11. Go to the beach [I'm a bad California girl]
12. Cut bangs [yeah, this totally didn't happen]
13. Continue writing love letters to Amy [Amy, I'll try again this year!]
14. HIke one mountain
15. Swim, swim, swim! [Didn't happen this year, but definitely happening soon]
16. Learn to let things go [ :) ]
17. See an exhibit at LACMA [ :( ]
18. Try three new restaurants
19. Bake cupcakes from scratch [Meh, next year]
20. Learn to sew [Does sewing on paper count? Yeah.. yes, it does]
21. Get a flip camera
22. Do two spontaneous things
Proud momma to a mischievous little man
I can't shoot targets but I am amazing at shooting zombies
23. Take one Disneyland trip [no disneyland for me this year]
24. Make a mixed CD for each month [Trying again next year]
25. One in-state road trip [Okay, this is kind of cheating but it still counts!]
26. Write one haiku [Meh, over it]
27. Get inked part-two

I think you did great on your goals. And you don't want to get ALL of them done in one year, you'd have nothing to do the following! Aaaaand, I would happily teach you to bake/cook anytime. :)

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!
Even if you didn't accomplish everything you set out to do, you still had an amazing year! & sometimes goals that we set aren't as interesting as time goes on, hehe. :) Hope you have a lovely day and an AMAZING year!!!!!!
