2013 is coming to an end, so it’s time to look back and forward.  I think, all in all, it’s been a pretty great year.  I’ve had a lot of struggles with getting a good job this year.  I’m still working on finding one.  Finances have been troublesome, too.  I’m working hard to find a job that can sustain me until I publish.  But with the few bad things, there has also been a lot of good stuff.  I started this blog.  I think it’s going well so far.  With any luck, next year it will continue to grow.  I’d love to have more followers, more content, and a great relationship with all my readers.  I also hope that next year I can get my book published.  The revisions are coming to an end, everything is tight and flows well, I think.  It’s just about ready.  And of course, I’ll write more books next year.  Hopefully a couple.  I have so many ideas.  Can’t wait to get them all down.  Next year, my twenties will be over.  I guess I’ll really be an adult by any standard.  In some ways, I feel completely grown and ready for the next stages of my life.  In other ways, I feel so young, a little lost at times, and not ready.  People often think I’m about ten years younger than I am, and I think it throws off my own perception at times.  In the coming year, I hope that my relationship with my boyfriend continues to be amazing, and advances.  I also want my weight loss to continue.  This last year, I’ve lost an amount that I’m proud of.  In total, I’m down 40 lbs from my heaviest.  I feel like I still have 20-25 more to go.  My goal is to look like a Victoria Secret model.  Ambitious, but that’s just what I am in all areas of my life.  Have a great year everyone!  Please enjoy the things below.  One is my year in photos.  The other is my year in facebook statuses.
