Goals 2014 in Review

I totally forgot I even had a list of goals until today. I did remember my photo a week though. 

Well let's see how I did:

"This year I decided to go simpler since this year will be bringing a lot of change."

♥ Read a book every month ♥

Um..... I didn't quite make it. Counting off the top of my head I read 9 books this year. Not enough but I did have a busy year.  I need to get better at reading books again though....goal for 2015?

♥ Craft & Design ♥

I think I did well here....had more creative months than others but between my wedding and making a home I designed, crafted & sewed quite a few things.

♥ No social media past 11 o'clock ♥

Oh my.....I totally forgot this goal. I remember being very faithful in the beginning of the year and it became a habit. I do it without thinking now because I want my sleep.

♥ Work on relationships ♥

Mhmmmm....did good I think? The goal here was to reach out to my friends and family even while I am busy. I try....I am thankful for social media & skype that makes that possible. I will continue to work on this though.

♥ Guest Posts ♥

Total fail here. Did I even have a single guest post this year?

♥ Finish College ♥

Hahahaha.....I made it guys! I graduated!

♥ Ready for Changes ♥
"I am planning and expecting many changes this year. One happened already as you can read here (?). Here is a list of changes I am planning on and some that look might happen. Finishing classes, student teaching, graduate, travel to US, get engaged, get married, move into a new apartment, start working....who knows what else might happen."

I had to keep this for you to read.... because all of this happened!!! ☺

♥ Photo a Week ♥
Ok.....So I was not faithful in selecting and editing my photo a week but I DEFINITLY took a photo a week. I stopped choosing and editing in Week 12.... yep... lots of catching up to do.

How did you do with your New Year Resolutions?

Professional Pictures

A friend from church just started getting into taking wedding pictures..... she came to me to ask if she could just kinda tag along and take pictures in order to get some experience. She ended up being the only and main photographer and she did an great job and can only get more amazing!

All these pictures were taken at the Schwetzingen Palace Gardens.... a beautiful place. Don't you agree?

Little Wedding Details

Here are just a few more little decoration details.....wish I had more to show but some of them you saw in the other pictures....

Reception & Games

The Family's Table

Cutting the cake

Isn't that cake BEAUTIFUL!?

This was a CRAZY & fun game.....12 young adults had to do something and hurry and get a seat (one less than people). The loser of the each round has to give us something....so the next 12 months we will be getting gifts!

We had to guess who's hand was our partner.....we both didn't win.

My mom and grandma...

Patrick made his hands dry & my dad wet his hand to feel sweaty.....they tricked me!!

What a crazy & fun day it was.....after this we headed to the Schwetzingen Castle Garden to take the professional pictures.... I hope to post those soon!

So what are your favorite pictures of the last 3 days?
