Happy Birthday to Me!

Yesterday was my birthday! BF took me out for an amazing dinner at Grotto in the Lower East Side (http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/grotto/ )

The food was incredible. We had a cheese plate (SO GOOD) and bruschetta to start, 2 bottles of red wine (smashed lol), I had a really good seafood salad as my entrée and then we split a piece of birthday cake 

I’m so lucky!

Every bday I like to make a few goals for the coming year and reflect on the time that has passed since my last birthday.

What have I accomplished over the past year:

·         Made friends in New York

·         Grew a wonderful relationship with BF

·         Did well at work

·         Explored the USA a bit

·         Had fun!

What would I change about the past year:

·         My new life here in New York has caused me to lose the closeness that I once had with my friends at home. I consider them part of my family and still think about them daily BUT the connection has weakened.

·         I wish I didn’t spend so much money

·         I thought I would have moved further in my career

What will I accomplish during the next year:

·         Restore my friendships in Canada to what they once were by making an effort to communicate regularly

·         I will get a promotion at work

·         Work hard and eat healthily so that I can become comfortable (maybe even proud) of the way I look. This means I will stop the unhealthy measures I have been taking that are harmful.

·         Go to yoga every  week to conquer my anxiety and by lower back pain

·         Make new friends

·         Have even more fun

·         TRAVEL

What do I look forward to the most over the next year:

·         Enjoy my last chance to be in my early 20s (25 next year ahh)

·         Creating new memories

·         Spending time with BF

·         Traveling Europe

·         Enjoying work / making money / working towards being  baller (shot caller)

Having my birthday party at Sunburnt Cow tomorrow. I can't wait :)

 Have a great weekend :)
