Review of 2008 Goals

Posted on | January 1, 2009 | 2 Comments

HiMA IS Conference 2008

Before I can write my 2009 Goals, I want to review my 2008 Goals.

Financial

  • Save $30K – Didn’t do
  • Pay $30K extra to mortgage – Didn’t meet
  • Travel a bit more, even if its just to other cities in my state – I went to CA, Boston, NH and made a few trips to Austin
  • Blog a bit more regularly – DID this!

Photography

  • Complete Project 365! Started on my 33rd Birthday (April 3rd) – DONE!! :)
  • Print more of my favorite photos to display and share – DONE
  • Mirror Project – 1 photo a week of me in a reflection - Didn’t do this so much but did a bit
  • More Black and White photos -Didn’t do this so much but did a bit

Things I did do in 2008 in no particular:

  • Made some awesome friends and found many old friends!!
  • Had a nervous breakdown and realized how much I need consistent medication
  • Learned that money isn’t everything
  • My niece Hannah was born
  • I finally got a Macro Lens for my 30D
  • Read a lot more and learned more about spirituality
  • Celebrated Matt and my 7th Anniversary with crab at Truluck’s! I had been wanting to go to Truluck’s for more than 10 years.
  • My babies turned 16 and 3!! Boy does time fly!
  • Survived Hurricane Ike!
  • Didn’t make a big change I thought I would but there is still 2009
  • Got a new piercing and tattoo both in Dec. in Austin
  • I had foot surgery on both feet in November! No more bunions but still have some pain
  • Caroline Collective, the worlds largest coworking space opened and I’m soo glad to be a part of it
  • Started working for big oil
  • It snowed in Houston!
  • Listened to some fabulous music!
  • I cry almost daily
  • Finally went to my first Houston Dr. Sketchy and SOO glad I went! It was like therapy!
  • My 2008 in photos
  • I got an iPhone in April! I’m on my 4th as of yesterday.. o_0
  • I learned to LOVE MYSELF! – That’s probably the biggest one of all! Now just to feel comfortable with that

Overall, 2008 was a tough year and I really am glad its over [wish I had a glass of wine right about now], only to be able to look back on. I am soo looking forward to 2009! I’m sure there is more stuff I did in 2008 but on to 2009…
