Happy 2012 Everyone!  I rang in a quiet new year with bestie #1, the sister, and her bestie watching The Holiday. It’s been our tradition the last few years and, dork fact, if you start it at 9:45ish it will end at very close to midnight when the last line of the movie is “Happy New Year!” Anyway… I haven’t really had much time to be alone in the past few weeks with the holidays and family time, so today I took my wandering, gypsy heart on a drive to take in the sunshine and the 50+ degree weather, singing at the top of my lungs, and thinking about my goals for the new year.  I’m dubbing this year “The Year of Becoming.” The word ‘becoming’ has hit me several times during the past week or so and it seems fitting. If you saw the quote I posted a few days ago, there is a line that talks about your mid-20s being a “season of becoming” and it stuck with me. This year I will become a USC-MAT grad and a licensed teacher, which is a huge step towards the future I want and have been working towards. So my main goal for 2012 is to finish strong in grad school and get a teaching job! I also have about a page and a half of other goals for the year that range from reading at least 12 classic novels and finally splurging on a pair of Hunter Wellies to qualities and habits that I would like to better incorporate into my life such as being more intentional and proactive.  I hope you’ve had a great start to the new year! Thank you for reading my ramblings-on over the past two years of tumblr-ing! I’ve “met” some awesome people through the tumblr-sphere and I’m looking forward to more conversations and continued rambling about milestones, adventures, and inspirations this year because it promises to be great!  Here’s to becoming! <3 Ericka
