Eeeeeep 2014 is in a few days. A FEW DAYS. It's always fun to make goals for the new year. Every year I make resolutions, whether or not I achieve them is another story. But I do enjoy setting goals for myself! Before I talk about my goals for 2014 I want to take a look back at 2013 just so I can remind myself of how far I have come to where I am today and how much I have grown throughout this year.

As I was writing this for the past 4 days….yes, 4 days….I realized that it was too much to take in at once. I figured it would be easier to break this up into three parts.

January

I decided to dress like Ruby Sparks for the day and it was one of the most fun things I have ever done! Wearing bright tights out in public does something to you, it makes you feel all cutesy and quirky. I recommend it.



February
This was the month when I created these felt candy hearts. This was my first DIY that I ever posted on this blog. I remember passing these out to my friends and they totally loved them. Each time I would whip them out people would say "awww Melissa". It's always fun to make peoples day by giving them simple little treats.

March

March was a very crazy month. It was the time where I thought I found something but it turned out that it was nothing. It was the first tiny heartache that I felt of 2013. Even though it was small, it did still hurt.
Because of that sadness I found myself looking for things to do in order to occupy my mind and I found the most beautiful garden in all of Houston.

April
April was a very good month. Things were starting to look up again and I began to start thinking of making changes for my future. I was scared but I knew that I was ready for big change. And you know, that scared girl in April who was freaking out about the future had no idea of how amazing those changes would be. I had no idea that I was going to achieve those goals. Oh I bet you're wondering what that big change was. Well I was beginning to realize that I was ready to change schools and get myself in debt with tuition costs. Actually the last part was a lie…thankfully I'm not in debt….yet.
Another reason why April was so good to me was because it was my 21st birthday! This birthday was  probably the best birthday that I ever had. So far being 21 has been one of the best years of my life. Hopefully I say that about every year for now on, but for real, being 21 is so much fun.
I went camping with two of my dearest friends and it was the best camping experience ever! The first time I went camping I thought I was going to freeze to death. No joke. But this time was really good and made me fall in love with the outdoors even more.

There you have it. The things that went down during the beginning of this year.
Be sure to check back for the next part.

Oh also, if you are doing a recap of what you did this year leave a link in my comments! I would love to see what you were up to this year :)
