And just like that we’re already through the first month of 2019. After spending almost the entire month of January putting together my 2018 year-in-review, it’s nice to be back to my monthly posts. And yet I’m a little daunted by the task at hand. January was a huge month with a lot of adventures, so let’s jump in and go through what’s going to be a tough month to top for the rest of 2019.

I’ve been doing goals or new years resolutions for most of my adult life. I started publishing my big goals for the year back in 2015. I’m not always perfect but its a good way for me to be accountable for what I want to accomplish for the year ahead. I’ve had my list of 2019 goals written down since October of 2018, but was late in getting them on the blog. I’ve made my goals far more straightforward this year. Five goals, no sub-goals and I plan to hit all five. Let’s go through them.

It’s that time of year again! Jenn and I have spent times independently looking back at the year that was and talking about some of our favorite things from 2018. From TV shows, to vacation stops, to memories, we’ve written down our favorites from 2018, and here they are!

As the year winds down and I’m prepping all of my year-end posts I did carve out some time to recap the month that was December 2018. It was a busy month with a lot of travel and activities, but also a month that ended with the relaxation that both Jenn and I have needed for a long time.

I love setting out goals. Some years I nail it (looking at you 2017) and others like this year I don’t. I was able to hit two of my five goals this year, with one more coming in close, and two of them I completely missed.

As I write this winter is here, its a brisk 30 degrees out and throughout November we went from beautiful fall days to our first snow day as New York City residents. November was a phenomenal month, and one that has gotten us ready for the holidays and the new year to come.
