2018 has finally drifted to a close, and here we are at the beginning of January. Can you believe it? (I can't.)

December absolutely flew by. I honestly feel like it just began, but it's actually already over! In the last four weeks, I've been traveling a lot to visit family, continuing the ever-stressful job search, moving forward with wedding planning, and juggling a ton of other life things. I've promised myself (again and again) to get to writing, but haven't done it. Same goes for reading. And sleeping. And finding a new therapist. Let's hope that those get accomplished in 2019 instead.  

So, you might've seen that I stepped down from Staff this month! It's been a wonderful year with the phenomenal Staff team, and I've absolutely loved being an Auror. I'm going to miss it so much. But with wedding planning getting crazy and life in general swamping me, I think it's best to let another member step up to the plate. If you've ever thought it would be fun to validate archive stories, you should apply! It absolutely is, and the team is phenomenal! (I'll miss working with you every day, Staff! You're the best!)

Anyhow, I'm still here on HPFT! Don't worry about me disappearing. But I'll be in and out a little more, rather than here basically always, since I'm trying to stabilize all of my obligations.

So, some goals for 2019:

• find a therapist
• write more
• learn to cook
• do more yoga

And that's it for now! I'll be back again soon with more #fun blogs!  Thank you all for a fabulous 2018, and let's make 2019 even better!
