I will attempt to track these goals throughout the year. I'm really hoping that being unemployed at the moment will help me stick to these better then previous years.
1. Lose weight (Start eating more fruits and vegetables, start exercising more, etc.)
2. Plan a wedding without losing my mind!
3. Develop a cleaning plan and stick with it.
4. Find at least a part-time job in an education-related field.
5. Create a budget to start paying back credit card debt, student loan debt, and put away money for the wedding. (Currently, I have about $1000 in credit card debt which came from getting wisdom teeth out, getting stitches after cutting my hand open, and visiting the doctor in an unsuccessful attempt to figure out why I kept getting sick. I also have $60,000 in student loans that will need to start getting paid off in June 2011)
6. Continue my education on my own by reading through works both in and out of the literary canon and on subjects that interest me. Try for one to two books a week.

A look back at 2010
2010 has been a year that changed my life. So I'll take a look back.
January-Celebrated one year anniversary with Keagle, started my last sememster of classes in college
February-Discovered where I'd be student teaching and looked at housing in the Twin Cities, Keagle turned 24
March-Keagle started work as "The Head of North American Tech Support" for a smaller company
April-My sister turned 15 and got her permit, scary!
May-I took the last finals of my college career, moved into our awesome townhouse!
June-I turned 22 :), I watched the office while Keagle and his co-workers went to Germany and Switzerland, I started nannying the two most adorable children ever! (More stories about them to come!)
July-My best friend got married to her high school sweetheart
August-I started student teaching in a kindergarten classroom
September-Still busy student teaching!!
October-More student teaching, my last day was the Halloween party and we all came as different types of fish, My brother turned 19
November-I moved to student teaching in a 9th grade English class, which was quite the transition! We spent Thanksgiving with my family
December-I finish student teaching and graduated college with two degrees without walking at the ceremony, we recieved 21 inches of snow in a couple of days and have since broken the December snow record, Keagle and I become engaged on Christmas Eve :)
Here's hoping that 2011 is just as great of a year, if not better!

Christmas is over
 |
| Our Christmas tree and Christmas village. The living room will look so bare without it! |
Starting over with a new blog
I previously had a blog that I didn't keep up with. I did import that blog, so you can read back.
Here is an update on my life so far:
1) Graduated with 2 education degrees. I will be licensed to teach K-12 with an emphasis in English.
2) I just got engaged to Keagle (the boy, not his real name haha) on Christmas Eve.
3) I have realized that I graduated into a very unfriendly economy. So for the time being, I am unemployed.
I'm hoping I can actually keep up on this blog. I need somewhere to gush about wedding plans.
