How'd I do ~ 2017 Intentions

While there are technically a few days left this year, I thought it would be good to look back and my intentions.  2017 was the YEAR OF THE PURGE and boy did I purge.  I didn't keep up with everything on here but wow we got rid of a lot of stuff.  Boxes are unpacked from our move 2.5 years ago!
