resolution update!

this morning I realized that I really am going to accomplish my new year's resolutions!! how exciting is that? I have never done this before! I guess I really am turning a new leaf. anyway, lets do an update:

* get a passport and two stamps. my passport arrived in the mail today, and by mid October I will have a stamp from Australia and a stamp from the Bahamas!! I'm going on a cruise to the Bahamas in October with a couple of my best friends, which will be amazing! but also, next month I am also going to Australia for 10 days for work. trust me, its not going to be a boring work trip, this is a party trip for some of our best Australia demonstrators, so its going to be playing and fun the whole time! which brings me to my next resolution:

* make my catering and events dreams come true. we have done 5 catering jobs this year, which I think is pretty good for being so small and relying on word of mouth. lets hope we get more calls... and for events, I did it! my new job is doing event planning full time for Stampin' Up! not only is it an amazing company that I have loved for a long time, but I am doing events! I couldn't be any happier about it, and it also brings me to the third and final resolution:

* become more financially stable. my new job came with a 20% increase in salary and better benefits! I have a company card and cell phone, so I won't need to worry about those expenses coming out of pocket anymore either. have I mentioned how amazing this all is? ;) something else just came up a couple days ago that will probably end up paying off my car, which would be great!! I am keeping my fingers crossed.

wow, talk about finding motivation after I thought all was lost! I am tempted to add some more resolutions, but since the first one won't technically be completed until the end of October, I will give myself a rest until January. although, I have given myself a few goals in the relationship department, but I will save that for a different post...
