Personal:
Read through the 12 books on my 2012 booklist. I MADE IT THROUGH THREE BOOKS ALREADY! Hopefully I can do some book review posts soon!
Complete the Couch to 5K program and run in at least one 5K race. This one is mostly for after the baby comes and I'm cleared to excercise.
Blog an average of 2 times per week. I'm a little behind, but catching up.
Memorize Colossians. Robert and my sister and brother-in-law are doing this together and it has been such great accountability. We've finished Col 1:1-6 and are currently working on verses 7-8.
Keep my prayer journal up to date and be faithful to pray for requests. Still need to pull it out of a moving box.....:/
Marriage:
Go on two Marriage Retreats. Nothing planned yet.
Have monthly date nights. Robert's parents graciously came and kept the girls for us one Saturday so we could see a movie. :) We had a great time!
Read one book together. need to pick one out. Any suggestions?
Children/Homeschooling:
Work on memory verses with the girls. We're reviewing some from the fall semester of BSF.
Start preschool with Emma in the fall. I'm researching materials and curriculums. Would love suggestions here also.
Potty Train Elliana. Started Jan 26th and she's making great strides!
Make and implement busy boxes/quiet time. Not started yet.
Go on at least one family vacation. Making plans.....
Ministry/Friendships/Extended Family:
Write at least two handwritten notes every month to encourage someone. Totally failed this in January. BOO.
Make a phone call to a distant friend every month. I left a lot of voicemails....going to keep trying.
Continue being involved in our local church/BSF group. Ongoing
Host at least four dinner parties. I'm thinking this may be a late in the year accomplishment. HA!
Financial:
Continue to tithe 10% of our income. Ongoing
Give generously to needs in our community and around the world, as God prompts us. Ongoing
Finish paying off personal loan and increase payments to student loans. This will really pick up in Feb.
STICK TO OUR BUDGET AND OUR CASH SYSTEM! We did it in January!
