On the financial side, we increased our savings about the same as last year. I put myself on a Target diet. I would go to Target several times a month, to get out of the house, but would end up wasting money on things I didn't need. I decided I was allowed to go to Target once a month, and if I did that, I would transfer $200/month into our savings account. I was able to transfer 8 of the 12 months. I plan to continue this in 2014 too. Also, we not only paid off one credit card, but all credit cards we had before we got married. We only use our Chase credit card now to get the % cash back.
On the relationship side, we went on vacation to DC in May, and went to visit family over Labor day. DC was fantastic! We didn't see everything (who can in 4 days), so a return trip is a guarantee. We have watched only 18 of the AFI Top 100. I was expecting more, but we aren't in a hurry. We knew it would take a couple years. You can keep up with our progress here.
On the home side, we (with lots of help from my dad and mom) renovated the hall bathroom. It was a long process, but you can read about it here, here, here and here. The final product looks great. I finally painted Nick's office, and in the process found my favorite paint color, Wheat Bread by Behr. And I posted the room-by-room project list. This list may get a short cut on the header of the website, to keep easily accessible.
So with that, some of the resolutions will be moved to 2014.
2014 Resolutions:
Finances:
-Start a Roth IRA
-Increase savings again
-Get life insurance

-Go on a vacation
-Continue watching AFI's Top 100
-Try 2-3 new recipes/restaurants per month

Here's to 2014!
