First post of 2013!





Happy New Year!

People are always saying that they think New Years is overrated and an anticlimax. To a certain extent I agree, I think the actual night is usually a bit of a let down (present year excluded; lasagne, champagne and Articulate at Libby and Andrew's will never be a let down!). But I actually really enjoy starting the year fresh, it gives me a chance to think about the previous year, what I have achieved and what I want out of the next year. And it's always good to start new things with a whole year ahead!

What a wicked year 2012 has been! I think my top 5 moments of 2012 are:

- Celebrating Anushi and Akshar's wedding in India
- Completing my first 10k run with Kat
- Being a bridesmaid for Libby
- Moving to China and visiting Beijing/the Great Wall with Charlotte
- Being able to spend Christmas with my family and friends (after a lovely mini holiday in Thailand!)

And it looks like 2013 is shaping up to be a great year too, with lots of travel! Seeing more of China with Kat and parents, visiting Hong Kong, Japan and who knows where else in August! Plus being a bridesmaid for Kat in August!

But I also have some goals for 2013, I have been a bit resolution heavy this year:

- To be better at keeping my blog updated - even if no one reads it I like the idea of having a kind of journal I will be able to look back on in the future
- Complete at least two of my 50 in 50 tasks (veggie for a month and writing a letter/card every week for a year)
- Be better at facetiming/skyping friends
- To join another club/society outside of school
- To enter another challenge which will motivate me to get fit... Another run? Trek? Suggestions needed!
- To read more kids books - now I am teaching year 5 I never know what to recommend them to read! So ideally I want to read a kids book every month.

I know that is a lot of resolutions, but I am going to give it a good shot! Maybe review them in June!
