I don't normally make any sort of resolutions at the beginning of the year.
Either I forget about them, or I quickly burn out of trying.
Instead I decided to make a bucket list for the new year.
14 Things in 2014
Officially paid off my large grad school loan!
2. Buy a house.
We've decided to focus on saving a lot this year and wait until next Summer.

It's been 2 years. I need to get on this!
Thanks to my Mother-In-Law and Shutterfly for an awesome FREE book!

5. Take more pictures!
I'm still horrible at this!
Now that I have my fancy camera I was told I have no excuse.
Plus in a few months I'll have a favorite photo subject.

Totally ditched this Series and tried Outlander instead.
Why do I pick such long series?

14. Keep up with meal planning in advance.
3/18 Update: So far I've been planning 2 weeks at a time and doing all my shopping as well.
4/28 Update: Still going strong!
5/31 Update: Loving meal planning.
7/28 Update: I've only been planning weekly over the summer since things constantly come up.
12/30 I did really well with meal planning, then I got pregnant.
October, November, and December have been spotty at best. Mainly because I was tired and not wanting to cook. Plus, pregnant women should not go grocery shopping. Cravings hurt your grocery budget! I really do love it and plan to get back on track now that I'm feeling more normal.
