Goals for August

1. Go to the National Balloon Classic in Indianola, Iowa. I have wanted to go since the summer of 2011, but because I was 38 weeks or so my husband refused to take me 3 hours away for some reason. Last year it was in the middle of band camp.
2. Make Charles' birthday cake.
3. Go to the Iowa State Fair.
4. Continue to work on letters with Charles.
5. Enjoy time with family and friends.
6. Read really good books.
7. Try ice painting because it sounds fun. This idea came from a the blogivers along with the idea to make a list:).

Things to Accomplish in 2013

Goals not Resolutions for 2013 These are not in any particular order. 1.Read a book for every week of the year. I will be happy with 2 books a month--I am just challenging myself. So far this goal is going very well. We are in week 2 of January and I am about finished with my second book.
Head in the Clouds by Karen Witemeyer was my book for week 1.
A Tailor Made Bride is the book I am reading now. I should easily be finished by Saturday with only 117 pages to go. We will see if I can keep this trend up and read a book for every week. I will really need some great suggestions to keep this up throughout the year. If you haven't tried one of Karen Witemeyer's books you should. I have read everything that has been published so far and can't wait until June 2013 when her new book comes out! 2.Finish the blue cable blanket.
I have 79 rows left to finish and that includes the bind off row. I have all the yarn and supplies I need. 3.Knit something out of my comfort zone. This means something besides blankets, scarfs, and rags. 4.Do something crafty with Charles 5.Play in the snow with the family. 6.Rake leaves into a pile and jump in. 7.Color eggs with Patrick and Charles and take Charles to an Easter egg hunt. 8.Try a new recipe. 9.Go tubing or white water rafting. 10.Donate 10 inches to locks of love. 11.Make or do something on Pinterest. 12.Do a moviethon with Patrick. Watch a set of movies that are sequels complete with popcorn & candy or cookies. 13.Encourage others: prayers, cards, emails, and phone calls.

A Personal Goal

I have started a new goal for myself! I decided that it was time that I started working out. I signed Patrick and myself up at the Rec on Wednesday afternoon. My first workout was on Thursday and I quickly found out I hate the elliptical! It was killing my knees after 5 minutes, so I stopped and decided to work out trouble areas with weights aka the area from the abs down to the thighs. Friday was crazy busy so I didn't get to go back until today. I walked on the treadmill for 25 and ran for 5(future goal is to have more running and less walking), and then did a few weight machines. This may bore you but I need to start off with some accountability from you all until working out becomes routine for me. Hopefully Patrick's back will feel better soon so he can hit the gym with me too.
