Well this morning when I got home from a run. I began to reflect on goals. Then I thought about the New Year's Resolutions I made in January. I thought, "How am I doing?" "Am I doing what I wanted to do? " Were they just "things" I wrote down and now mean NOTHING like they usually do? Has life just passed me by these 7 months???? So here are my RESOLUTIONS!!! and UPDATES!!!
1. Read the Book of Mormon by April 12, 2009 (Easter Sunday)
--did not do this one!!! It was moved to Dec, 31st
2. Attend the temple twice a month
--Do pretty good with this one. Sometimes it's twice and sometimes it's once
3. Continue having Monday night FHE
--Perfect in this!!
4. Be PERFECT in my Visiting Teaching
--Perfect in this!!
5. Help Dan be PERFECT in his Home Teaching
--Trying with this one-- I remind him, but the DOING is up to him! So I guess I'm doing my part.
6. Blog more often (journal entries)
--Really trying to do this and do feel successful
7. Read books daily with Cody, Steven and Luke 11:00-11:30 am
--It has not been daily and not at the same time but we do read just about every other day--feel successful : )

a. fit into a size 6/8
---Still working on it!!! : )

--It's summer that's all I'll say about this one!!!
d. lose 15 pounds of fat and turn it into muscle

10. Eliminate the debt!!! Get rid of Credit Cards
--STILL TRYING!
11. Organize a room in the house a month

12. Once the room is clean-keep it that way
--Don't do this!!!
13. Smile more - when mom's happy, everyone's happy
--Make a constant effort to do this!
14. Write a "Thank You" note a week

I think you are doing pretty good on your list. Keep it up you are awesome!
What a great list! I love the reading idea for 30 minutes in the middle of the day. You are such a cute mom!
I think running 3 miles is a ton. I am in a 12 week training program to run a 4 miler the first week of September. I too am up to 1 1/2 miles and SUPER proud of it. I think it is a great accomplishment.
These are quite a few lofty goals. I think you are doing great! But, serioulsy why do we feel responsible when our husbands do or don't do their hometeaching?
We had so much fun meeting you in person and we all thought you looked GREAT! You are way ahead of me of posting blogs, way to go!
girlfriend I think you're doing great, considering that super huge long list of goals! You need to cut yourself some slack, you are heads and tails above everyone else! You're fab!!
