2014

Hi!
As with everyone else, I can't believe that it is 2014. I would have to say that 2013 was my best year yet (mind you I can't really remember the first five) and if you want to know all that I did, you can read my blog : )
My Christmas break was wonderful and much needed. Apparently, it was so great that it wanted me to stay two extra days, because I definitely got stuck in Chiberia.
I guess now is the time where I make a list of things I learned in 2013 and some things I would like to bring with me into 2014 (you all know how I love lists!) so here I go:
1. Trust nothing in AmeriCorps. Obviously, the people, but everything else is subject to change.
2. I don't like hugging as much as I did when I was a child.
3. I can live in horribly uncomfortable places, but please don't make me prove it.
4. Men are crazy and not intimidating at all. They have a lot of the same thought processes as women.
5. I'm a leader and need to show more confidence.
6. When I find him, I need to be more vulnerable. No one likes someone who seems to be inhuman.
7. I thought I couldn't possibly show more love, but then AJ was born and she proved me wrong.
8. I can celebrate special holidays away from my family.
9. I shouldn't underestimate the impact I have on people, or vice versa.
10. Just go for it, or someone else will. If it doesn't work out, I'll be fine.
11. I probably shouldn't pursue a career in a Parks and Rec department.
12. I love my family and friends. Like a lot.
13. I'm outdoorsy in the fact that I like drinking outside.
14. Great people are literally everywhere.
15. I have an alter ego named Christmas Katie.
16. There is never not a time to paint your nails.
17. I'm not a fan of hiking.
18. I am a fan of well dressed men.
19. I enjoy using the bathroom outside.
20. I'm obsessed with New Orleans.
21. If I don't like the position I am in, I am lucky enough that I can move. I am not a tree.
22. I have an unhealthy addiction to Pinterest. The above quote is from there.
23. I will always love Hello Kitty.
24. Don't take your phone out on a mountain. You will fall and crack your screen.
25. I am blessed beyond belief.
Welcome to 2014, I hope you enjoy it : )
love,
