Summer Goals

I saw on PamperingBeki that she makes resolutions for the summer and I thought that is a great idea. I want my summer to be fun and relaxing, but I also want to be productive in areas of my life that are important to me. I love the way the sun shines in my windows at 5:30 in the morning in summer. It is so much easier to get up and get going than in winter when the alarm goes off and it is pitch black and freezing!

Here are my goals for June, July, and August:
Spiritual-

Esther Bible Study
Sarah Bible Study
Proverbs 31 Bible Study
I am doing the Elizabeth George "A Woman After God's Own Heart" bible studies this year and I am really enjoying them.

Marriage-
Golf twice with Michael this summer.(0/2)
Go out for dinner 3 times alone.(or with baby only!)(0/3)

Children-
Do a special outing once a week.(0/12)

Home-
Establish a binder for my routines and checklists.
Establish routines to put in my binder!
Consistently use the routines.

Personal-
Scrapbook at least 12 layouts. That is only one a week!(0/12)
Lose 10 pounds.(0/10)

My First Blog Post

I have decided to jump into blogging. I love reading some of the awesome blogs out there and love the community of the blogging world. I also need a place to record our family's lives. I have said to many times, "Oh, I should write that down. I would love to remember that.", but I never do. This is going to be my place to do that. So, today is my birthday and this is my present to myself. A place for my thoughts, my memories, our lives. I can't wait to begin. I want to be a part of the blogging world!
