Summer Goals

Once I settled into life post-grad school, I came up with a list of goals I wanted to accomplish by the end of the summer ("end of the summer" = end of August).

1. Finish 75% of summer reading list - I'm proud to say that I read about 7,500 pages! I still have books to read (remaining on the list, plus a bunch that we own that I want to read before we start having kids, plus a big long list of books I'll need to buy or borrow).

2. Make 30 new meals - I made 20 new meals, plus some yummy new desserts! And I think we liked everything I made.

3. Read through the New Testament - I made myself a schedule and read a few chapters each day, and I'm proud to say that this is one goal that I did not skimp on - completely accomplished!

4. Go on a ridealong with Matt - I so did this!!! Look forward to an upcoming post about this.

5. Finish wedding scrapbook - Our wedding scrapbook has sat half-done since we packed everything up and moved from our apartment to this house in February 2010. I hadn't been able to finish the scrapbooking (something about moving and working and finishing grad school!), but I buckled down and got it all done :)

This month, I'm looking forward to getting some projects done around the house. Before the end of the year, I'd like to get these goals accomplished:

1. Finish books from summer reading list.
2. Go through our keepsake boxes.
3. Make card packets (I'll explain later).
4. Reorganize all papers and recipes (new folders and labels! Exciting!).
5. Finish scrapbooks.

How I love lists!
