2014 Goals

I’m the sort of guy who counts the hours in the day and is frequently knee deep in the weeds. My fiancé often nags me for over planning but the fact of the matter is I’d get overwhelmed with day-to-day tasks if I didn’t have at least some sort of map handy. In accordance with this philosophy below is my road map for 2014. It doesn’t include the side streets or unassuming milestones.

Happy new year!

Get married
