Over the last year or so I've been on a path to take better care of myself. As I move from months to days away to turning 30, I've spent a lot of time reevaluating how I take care of myself. It started off right around my 29th birthday last year and has continued throughout 2016.

It may seem like I go through cars quickly, and the truth is if you look at my history with cars I really do. I'm not even a car person. I really don't like cars. It's one of those areas of my life that I spend a ton of time in but wish I didn't have to.  When I sat down to write this post the first thing I did was develop a timeline for my car history. 

I cannot believe that I'm already writing about the end of our first of two season passes to go to the theater. We started out with and If/Then followed by The Illusionists, and although not part of the season pass (bought separately) we also saw The Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses. At the time of this post we've already purchased one season pass for the 16/17 season and are planning to by at least one or two more before the seasons begin. 

This is my first "Case de Szerlip" blog post since we sold the house. I didn't anticipate writing nearly as many of these now that we are happily back in an apartment. However when we quickly moved into our apartment in July of 2015 we took what furniture we had and made it work.  Now nearly a year later we've renewed our lease to mid-2017 and wanted to continue making our apartment home.

I'm sorry in advance. I've tried to keep the majority of my political views off my blog. So if you're easily offended or don't like hearing others political views you might want to stop reading now. For those that are continuing to read bare with me, this might be a short albeit bumpy ride. 

Last year was the first year that I've published my personal goals/resolutions on my blog. Most years I will jot down some ideas on my phone or a notepad and then forget about it. The hope of posting it here is that it will hold me more accountable to actually achieving these goals for myself. This year I'm making a slight change to what I did last year. Most of my goals in 2015 didn't have actual targets, instead more lofty ideals. So this year for the majority of my goals I have quantifiable targets that I hope to achieve. So here we go 2016 lets make this happen.
