I started 2014 with these same quotes in mind and for 2015 I'm doing the same. There is no better way to start the new year than to let go of the things you can not change. 2014 was a year of growth mentally and professionally. I had a number of great things happen to me this past year that allowed me to grow. The number one thing was surrounding my self with like-minded people. I realized in 2013 that I had no time for negative people and that I had no patient to deal with people who talk down to me so I cut those people out, and today my inner circle is so smaller than ever, but I've never been happier than ever. When it comes to friendships quality is always better than quantity.

Also, I had a pretty major event happen in 2014 (I think its pretty major) like graduating uni. I always knew that day would come but when it happened it was quite scary to think I no longer had that security blanket of school and had to go out and do adult things, lol. 2015 will only improve what you learned in 2014 so take those lessons and make the best possible choices you can.

Have an amazing 2015!

Who else is a little ahead of oneself with the whole house hunting? I get updates from Trulia daily and at this point I know what price range I’m looking to stay in… but the day I will actually be house hunting won’t be for another couple years. However, through my early house hunt [if you can call it that] I’ve realized that in my future home a library of some sorts will have to make its way into the home. I grew up with libraries in the home, so they hold a special place for me.

I love the look of an entire room filled with books, floor to ceiling. Am I the only one who can picture how cozy that would be when the snow falls… hot coco anyone? Though an entire room may not be my reality, I do love the idea of turning a hallway or a closet into a library. Something about libraries just makes the home seem cozier… just me?
