There is just something about making a list and writing ‘it’ down on paper. Writing out a goal or a plan. And in this case, even typing it out in a blog post for the world to see! It makes you feel empowered to actually get whatever the ‘it’ or ‘its’ are in your life done. It makes you try harder to accomplish whatever it is and gives you a swift kick in the butt when it’s needed get you back on track! And the feeling when you get to pick up your pen and check that box off your list – it’s one of the most rewarding feelings in the world!! That is the reason why we have notepads and paper all over our house. We have to see the millions of things in our heads written down on paper and then we team up and get after it until they are done. So being that it is the beginning of the new year, the only proper thing to do is let you in on one of our lists – our personal goals and business goals for 2017!
• Book our 1st PNW Wedding: We have been working tirelessly to establish our brand since our move and we just started ramping up right before the rainy winter season here in the PNW. We are looking forward to the summer wedding season and hearing from our first E&J Bride!
• Blogging at least 3 days a week: Anyone else an over -thinker? We over think everything which is not very helpful when trying to blog on a regular basis. 2016 brought our new website and blog and in 2017 we will be working to blog consistently at least 3 times per week to share our thoughts and connect with our followers like YOU! We are trying to think about not over-thinking it!
• Increasing our travel and business between WA and AZ: What’s wrong with being snow birds at our age?! We promise not to merge without our blinkers on or drive too slow on the freeway, but AZ has such a special place in our hearts and we are determined to continue business in both of our ‘home states’. AZ high school seniors – keep your eye out for something coming at you in 2017!
• Utilize our home gym more: We are known in the neighborhood for having the ‘Ninja Warrior’ gym in our garage. Jon built out incline/decline monkey bars, climbing walls, and a small ninja course in the garage that has been feeling neglected for a couple of months. We are set on getting into a better routine again and keeping after it so we can crush our next Spartan race! I want to be able to scale the walls without getting a boost from Jon!
(I mean seriously, who takes the time to stop and “GQ” the photographer in the middle of the race course?!!)
• Take a family vacation: I’m pretty sure we aren’t the only ones who thinks a warm beach sounds perfect right now! That’s all I (Erica) have been dreaming of since December 26th. Once Christmas ends, I feel like it needs to be spring and I need to be walking on the warm sand. There is nothing we want more than to make time in all of the busyness to unplug and make time for our little family.
