Fun memories and just fun to look back at the things that I have done this year. Check out your year and see if you have been doing the things you want to do and have been with the people you want to surround yourself with.
Every year, around the holiday season, everyone plans and sets goals for themselves to be a better version of themselves. To spend the next year growing and honing in on different goals/achievements. Often times trying to create new habits or living styles. Ultimately a great deal of these resolutions fail, because the discipline is not there, or maybe someone shot too far out. Making an unrealistic goal for themselves. If you never have exercised in your life do not say that your goal is to workout 7 days a week. That is unrealistic. Rather, I say take these changes one step at a time. Make them measurable. Give yourself check in points. 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, etc. Everyone wants to grow and evolve.

I miss the people of NP, my first grade team at Falcon Ridge Elementary School, Etlin's Cafe, New Prague Trojan sporting events, small town festivals, driving down main street, eating at Lau's Bakery, Montgomery volleyball and bar scene, Home Plate in Le Seur, dancing at Whiskey Business, there are so many things that I miss about that town. It baffles me to see how my life is shaping itself outside of my envisioned life years ago. After college I had "it all," as I was living in a small town, teaching 1st grade, and thriving. Had my community, my school, my career, made big boy purchases (first new car, etc.), and I was solidified. That was going to be my life and I was ready for the adventure. My roots were beginning to settle in. I love everything about the town, its people, the culture, the feel, and I could see myself growing old there. However, after having ...
