Hopes and dreams

Goals for our year of travel

So what are we hoping to get out of all of this anyway? Besides the obvious, like regaining a sense of calm, spending more time together, and experiencing new places, we are setting out to achieve some personal goals during our time away. I thought it would be fun to write them down before we leave so we can compare early ideas to what unfolds.

Amber Learn Spanish Build core strength until I can hold a plank forever Get back into my big DSLR camera Use my art supplies and try my hand at botanical sketching Keep writing Teach Ben to french braid my hair :) Ben Read books Learn to play the ukelele Discover a new hobby Hike and/or bike most days

Camping and smiling.

Both of us Corgi training! They are stubborn little things with ideas of their own. While we love their personalities, we also want them to get good at life on the road and become obedient in ways we have never had time to enforce. Grow out Ben's hair. Ok so this is more of an Amber thing, but I really want to know what he would look like with a man bun. No one wants this but me, but I also feel like it is our one chance to find out what it would look like, and since it is just hair, we can always chop it off if it doesn't suit. Gain persective on what's next. We want to have the time and space to think about our futures and what we want to do next with our careers.
