Some New Steps

This time of year is so hectic, but in a good way. With Christmas and New Years just around the corner, presents to buy, cookies to bake, figuring out where you will be and who you'll be celebrating with. Busy. Busy. Busy. The past two years I have been out of town for the holidays, so it's nice knowing that I'll be able to go home to family. Grandma's cooking is the best smell to wake up too.

But I will be taking some time for me this week to just  r e l a x. I got my nails done yesterday. I've been pampering myself with  face masks and some online shopping too. That's one awesome thing about the holidays, all the amazing sales! And the fact that I don't have to leave my house to shop makes it that much better.

With 2014 just two weeks away, I hope for new experiences and achievements, to take some new steps. I would like to do some more traveling. Back in 2012, I made a promise to myself to go on two vacations and I did. I went to the Bahamas and Nicaragua. Next year I hope to get out of the country some more. One of my new girl friends has been talking me into going to Thailand. I'm strongly considering getting on that plane! I also hope to grow and develop Love Struck, my e-commerce store. I have been blessed to service over 400 customers in the first year, reaching over 30 countries around the world. Continuing to grow and expand the company is definitely on the top of my TO DO list for 2014. Graduating in April will also be a huge milestone to overcome. This college journey has been long and difficult, but oh so rewarding. I can't wait until I can call myself an engineer!

As the year winds down, I will be reflecting on my accomplishments of the year, spending time with friends and family, and sipping on some of my favorite wine (Riesling). Cheers!
