Hey guys! This is my first post of 2016! I hope you guys had a great New Year’s Eve. This year will be a great year for you all. Anyways, for this blog post I am going to tell you how I ended 2015 and how I want to start 2016. I hope you guys like this post, so without further ado let’s get into this post!

On New Year’s Eve we packed up and went over to Nashville, Indiana. When we arrived we ate at a Pizza place in Columbus called Noble Roman's. To be honest I didn’t think the pizza was great but it was pretty good. After lunch we drove over to a park and did a 2.2 mile hike. It had started to snow for a bit but then it stopped and was just cold and windy. The evening was still young so we decided to go into Nashville and do a little shopping. We went into a few stores but most of them were closed. My favorite stop was the Fudge shop where they sold every flavor of popcorn from bubblegum to bacon to dill pickle. We bought crackerjacks inspired popcorn and caramel corn. I also got a chocolate dipped pretzel topped with M&Ms and a gigantic buckeye. When we were finished shopping we finally made our way to the ranch that we were going to stay at for New Year’s Eve.
When we got to the ranch we unloaded the car and warmed up by the fire. Then I decided to go pet the horses that were in a pasture down the hill. We hadn’t been able to ride them because they weren’t doing rides after four or on New Years. After we pet the horses we had grilled cheese for dinner and then just hung out.
Around 7:00pm we started to get ready to go night zip lining. It was super fun, there was a dog that would nip at your feet as you took off and she would chase you half way down the line before running back to get ready to chase the next person.
After that we just hung out and played some games and had snacks. We didn’t have a TV at the ranch so we just used a tennis ball and dropped it, haha.
That’s how I ended 2015. How did you end the year?

~What I want 2016 to be like~

I want 2016 to be a great year, and every year I try to come up with resolutions and goals for the year I normally don’t carry through. So this year I’ve decided to do something a bit different. Every month I’m going to have small goals that I want to complete by the end of the month.
So for January my goals are:
Get 10k steps on my Fitbit everyday
Get a 6 pack
Save my money
Finish at least two books
Do blog posts once a week
Work on my Spanish
Paint my room
These are pretty big goals for me. So if you try this tip, aim high and be expected to fail! Failing is okay as long as you try. And remember, you have 12 months to get everything done!

Another thing that I want to do if keep a Memory Jar. This is a jar that you write down the fun things you did, or when you met your goals, even when you get an A on a test. Then at the end of 2016 you read through all the good things that happened throughout the year.

I also want to just have fun! I want to take more pictures and go on more trips. Hang out with my friends more and be happier. This is your year! Make 2016 the best year ever.
