Happy NYE! I hope you all had an excellent Christmas and are looking forward to the year ahead. Before I get onto how I did with my goals for 2021 I have some news to share. I got engaged at Christmas! I know it’s SO EXCITING! The proposal was very sweet. Knowing I am a book addict my boyfriend made his own book to propose! I know! It’s a book lovers dream!
Now you have all calmed down from my news I’ll talk about my goals for 2021. I’m actually pretty happy with how I did with my goals this last year. My day job has been hectic at times and sometimes I’m not sure how I managed to fit everything in! My only disappointment is that I didn’t listen to more audiobooks, hopefully, I will improve this in 2022.
