2013 Goals

Last year Mark and I wrote out a list of goals and we worked on them throughout the year.  It was a real treat to look back at them and realize that we had accomplished almost everything on the list.  There were only a couple that needed some more work!  We wrote out some goals for 2013 tonight in hopes that we can stay on track this year.  Of course, these aren't all the things we hope to do but just a few that we wanted to highlight.
