    Hi Jessica,

    Welcome back to sunny California! I have a quite a few goals for 2014 but the top priority for me is my marriage. Changing it from good to great! That means- date nights (once a month), doing special things on a daily basis (love notes, special dessert, hugs, movie night, etc.) Lastly, saving money to plan an overnight trip for our anniversary.
