Goals: The Halfway Point
Since it is halfway through the year, I thought it would be good to give an update on where I am with my 2012 goals. Accountability is great. Especially since most of the time I feel like this:
Good ole Ranger. He sure does love his naps!
Anyways... looking through my goals, I realized I'm pretty much on track to completing them. Woohoo!!! There are a few additions that I would like to add and I've noted those at the bottom.
1. Have a blast planning our wedding!
--> Done! And what a wonderful time it was! Read more about it here.
7. Spend more time with family and friends.
--> I have made significant effort to do this and it is paying off.
9. Have consistent craft nights with girls in the Atlanta area.
--> Doing it! Read about our Pinterest parties here and here.
10. Create a new home with Drew & have fun decorating it!
--> YES! So much fun :) Still in progress, but you can see progress here and here.
11. Paint my nails more often.
--> Thanks to Savannah's array of nail polishes, I'm doing much better at this.
12. Go on a fun vacation.
--> Does my honeymoon count? I think yes.
15. Expand & grow Maiedae with Savannah.
--> This has been a blast! We've launched a new website, started offering website design, and added our photography skills to the mix. And we have even more plans for this year ahead!
16. Go to Prepared to Last at WinShape Retreat.
--> This was one of the best things we did as part of our premarital counseling. Read about it here.
21. Continue participating in Arts & Crafts fairs with Savannah.
--> Holiday Shopping Spectacular Indie Craft Experience 2012 here we come!
23. Continue journaling.
--> Yes. Doing it.
* Have a more healthy diet.

Anyways... looking through my goals, I realized I'm pretty much on track to completing them. Woohoo!!! There are a few additions that I would like to add and I've noted those at the bottom.
My goals for 2012 include:
2. Start taking violin lessons. --> This has been postponed until later this year.
3. Become a runner. --> I wouldn't say I've become a runner yet. I'm still working on the consistency part...
4. Start a new photography project. --> Any good ideas?
5. Learn how to be a great wife. --> I think this will be a lifelong thing... but this book has really helped.
6. Learn to cook. --> I'm definitely learning to conquer this! Weekly menus are going to help me tremendously.
8. Read at least ten books. --> I've read 5 so far! Halfway there!
13. Re-style my wardrobe. --> I've done a clean sweep of my wardrobe and am slowly building it back with only pieces I love.
14. Create new holiday traditions with Drew. --> This will be later in the year.
17. Take a class on jewelry making or another art or graphic design class. --> I haven't done this yet.
18. Design a font. --> I haven't done this yet.
19. Get a sewing machine & become a better seamstress. --> Haven't done this either. :/
20. Make more pottery with Drew. --> We are looking into classes currently. Or if someone just wants to donate a wheel to us, that'd be great too. And a kiln...and some clay... :)
22. Start a collection of family heirlooms. --> Yes! I will have to post about this soon, but we have so many wonderful heirlooms. And I love all things sentimental. :)
24. Create a photo journal for each year since 2006. --> Not done yet.
25. Visit Anica in Seattle &
Alyssa in North Carolina.
--> Visited Alyssa for her wedding, but haven't visited Anica yet.
Additions to my goals:
* Go to bed at a decent time and wake up earlier. Goal: be in bed by 11:00pm and wake up at 6:30am.
* Call family and friends more often.
