She is exceptional at crafting goals and making them work for her! I have been following her example with goal setting, now I just need to follow her example in goal completing....<br />
<br />
So, here's my list for 2019. I want to focus more on taking care of myself and my health so that I can take care of my family and enjoy my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Read a book to the kids, with the kids at least 3 times a week. Often, bedtime is so rushed and that time to connect needs to happen. I need it and they need it too!<br /></li>
<li>Exercise 4 times a week. I'm going to make this a top priority because it will help with my physical, mental, and social health. It makes me a better wife, mom, and teacher when I feel good. And we all know what Elle Woods said about exercise and endorphins...<br /></li>
<li>Plan trips, not gifts. I want to put a plan in motion to go DO THINGS with my people. I would like to cut back on the things and make a point to go to places with them. See another later goal that ties into this...<br /></li>
<li>Simplify things. Clean out closets, storage containers, and cabinets. Donate or sell items that can be useful and clean out garbage that is no longer useful.<br /></li>
<li>Read 2 books a month. One to help me and one for fun.<br /></li>
<li>Track macro nutrients every day to maximize health and weight loss. I plan to focus on my health this year and establish better habit with my diet and my fitness. <br /></li>
<li>Run 5 5 ks this year. Health y'all. It is so important and I plan to maximize mine this year.<br /></li>
<li>Well checks and doctor visits for my children need to be a priority. We rarely do those as recommended, because they are pretty healthy. We need to schedule them as they should be done and follow through. I will make that happen.<br /></li>
<li>Have a friend night once a month. With my new neighbors, with old friends, with women I love. I love having a community and I know that I need to make connections regularly.<br /></li>
<li>Join a small group at church and find a place to serve. I love my church and our church family. I have been out of the loop with service for a while, and I miss it. I would like to find a place for that again!<br /></li>
<li>I am going to prepare one new recipe weekly this year! I love the kitchen and I love being able to cook new things, so I feel like this will be fun!<br /></li>
<li>Host a family lunch once a month. <br /></li>
<li>Finish things. The book shelves, the hanging of the decorations, printing of the pictures, projects I begin...<br /></li>
</ol>
<div>
I am straight copying a few goals from people I follow via social media, but they fit me perfectly! I cannot wait to journey through 2019 and improve myself as I go. Thanks for following along and being a blog friend!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She does.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coached as well, so those tiny nuggets worked their way into my heart.</div>

My goal is going to complete the blog updates from the last million years and attempt to stay in real time from now on. Blogging is something I really like, but it is so hard to maintain that on a regular basis! I don't mean to neglect it, but it isn't something I can just sit and do unless I plan a time to do it. </div>

The favorite princess from 2017 was Moana.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Easter Bunny brought Elizabeth a necklace, but just her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He didn't know that it was going to be a fight to the DEATH for the necklace...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It lead us to a search for another one...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which caused us to travel to Florida to purchase said necklace...</div>

<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Unpack the house and be completely settled by January 15th. Including all furniture purchased, and all junk tossed out.</span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Still a work in progress, but it will be done this year. We have made so many trips to donate things and for the most part, this is done. I still need to purchase some furniture and organize my office space.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;">March update: two rooms still in shambles. Getting so close though. I have a few more things to purchase for one room to be done and then I will work on the last room! My priority is to organize my office before Spencer's party! <br /></span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Fill out paperwork to foster/adopt and meet with agency by</span><span style="color: #222222;"> end of January. </span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I have a contact. This is in the works. More to come on that later. </span><span style="color: red;"><br />Paperwork done. Signed up for an intake class...</span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Print family pictures to hang on canvas. Goal=1 new portrait a month during 2018.</span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I ordered ONE this month! Yay! By the end of 2018 we should be well documented!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;">Nope. I guess I need to get this rolling...<br /></span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Take more photos with my camera and document our lives in real time via blog 2 times a month.</span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Nope. Not this month. I'm using wrestling season and our MOVING as my excuse. But I will update our blog one more time with a vision plan for each new room soon!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;">I will repeat my last month... I did nothing via camera and minimal blogging. <br /></span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Create 10 goals that can be TRACKED and checked. As in, tangible numbers with multiple check points. So I have a numerical goal. Or something of the like...</span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I'm working on a few personal development goals that I will track this year. I'll post those later on! </span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;">Created goals. Will update that ASAP.<br /></span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Exercise 3 times a week.</span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Not this month. February. It is in the plans for February. I did however, move a lot this month. Never have I ever walked so much moving things!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;">Not a bit. None.<br /></span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Streamline the finances and housekeeping process. Not sure how this will work, but I want to continue to hit the Dave Ramsey plan hard and start envelopes by end of January. So maybe that’s my REAL goal. Track expenses and income through Jan-Feb. with envelopes in place beginning March.</span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Our payroll changed. I paid off the majority of our debts. I am printing envelopes today. Laminating planned for end of the week. Budget hit hard in February. Goal is to PAY OFF truck by end of 2018. 2019=student loans GONE.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;">I find myself still adjusting to our new pay periods. I have moved several of our bills and payments to the later month... It is ridiculous to think about how much of an adjustment this has been for me. For us. <br /></span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Plant bulbs by end of Feb. and draw landscape plans.</span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Just got my last shipment of bulbs this weekend. I will buy some more and start planting this weekend. I am so excited!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;">Got a good bit of the bulbs in the ground a few weeks ago and plan to do some more digging this weekend, actually. We are in the midst of the last cold snap before Spring, so I'm hoping to get everything in the ground and safe before the warm weather really comes! <br /></span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Clean out closet and donate/sell seasonal wardrobe excess by end of March. As we approach spring/summer completed by end of May.</span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Done. I did this already this month. I will hit the kids closets after our Disney trip and revamp their stuff. I also need to update some of their summer clothing. I see a serious Sam's shopping trip this month! </span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;">We did a massive overhaul with the kids and their closest before our Disney trip last week. We cleaned out a LOT of things and then donated a lot. I did take a few bags to consignment sales and that's always a fun way to make some extra!<br /></span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Plan 2018 & 2019 vacations. Brainstorm ideas for 10 year vow renewal...</span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I think we may go to a new spot just us 5 this summer. And I have started working on our vow renewal plans. I'm thinking small. Just our family and our closest buddies for that... more details to come later!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;">Our summer vacation this year will be a trip to Jekyll for an FCA camp and we are super excited to spend a few days with Godly families and make new friends. We are going to shift some of our summer plans to Spring Break and visit our South Florida family! I cannot WAIT to see Jeff and Ellie and LR again soon! It will be a good time to visit Poppi too! I also have two friends I'm hoping to see in the Pompano Beach area! </span></span></li>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Tangible Goals as follows... I feel like these are NOT a work in progress kinda deal. These are pretty cut and dry as far as done or not done are concerned. My goal this year is to create a goal for each month that I can successfully check OFF my list! This is my goal list for the first 6 months of the year.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Started several books. Didn't finish one. ...<i>sigh...<br /></i></li>
<li>No crops. Zero. I did grow some awesome flowers though! Does that count?<br /></li>
<li>There was lots of purging and ridding of uneccesary things. Not in an orderly fashion, but the effort counts, right?<br /></li>
<li>I did sell some antiques. I did buy new furniture on December 22nd, for our new house... but it got done y'all!<br /></li>
<li>Home repairs done. We sold that house and the repairs were required for the sale! <br /></li>
<li>Nada on the exercise. Next....<br /></li>
<li>Nope on the MK sales director and nope on the quit teaching. I have actually found a renewed passion for that one lately. The MK is still fun, but less passion is present!<br /></li>
<li>Still working on the debt payoff plan. We sold our Mason Falls Drive house and we will be able to use our profits to pay off most debt. We are still waiting on the closing of our new house to do that. <br /></li>
<li>We did repaint all those rooms listed. We didn't do any of those other major repairs because we sold that house. <br /></li>
<li>Good GRAVY--a lot can change in 12 months. Looking back at this list... I see some of the things I wanted to do were a good idea, but I have learned that I have to create TANGIBLE goals with a way to track them. Be on the lookout for #goalpost2018 soon with measurable goals that I can actually track and achieve! <br /></li>
<li>Meanwhile, Merry Christmas! </li>

In December 2016 we were gifted with a Zoo Atlanta membership! We were finally able to cash that in during February of 2017 and have been every single month since then. This was one of our miscellaneous Saturday excursions with Ms Mackenzie! We got to spend extra time in the panda habitat learning about things they love. They enjoy textures, scents, and personal touch. </div>

This year was exceptionally busy for us in the Spring. I am grateful that all our people made time for an Easter gathering and celebration of Spencer turning 3. Somehow those things happened in the SAME week and we got to gather and celebrate both our Risen Savior and this sassy pot. She insisted on wearing her Elena dress for the celebration and egg hunt.</div>

Often times I wonder how in the world I make this life work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our finances are messy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our days are busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We don't eat as well as we should.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids argue, a lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They run me to death.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They ask a lot of questions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Too many.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But at the end of each day I am thankful for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The chaos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter the crazy, they keep me grounded.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They make me feel like what I am doing matters.</div>

Took a trip in April for mom and sisters only.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was heavenly and chilly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I lost a pair of flip flops (or rather--they were stolen)....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And found this guy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was cool.</div>

Ya'll, I flipping love Easter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is easily my favorite holiday all year long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love what we are celebrating and how amazing my life is because of that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because of Christ.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pastels and brights and all the florals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adore that it goes on for weeks because my kids celebrate at school too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that I get to serve at church and love the babies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is something about giving that fills my cup...</div>

These crazy blessings that I have to hang out with every day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really enjoy how much enthusiasm she wakes up with daily.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love that she's about as positive as I AM!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her smiley face lights up every single face.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am often told that she is the happiest child in the world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am just SO grateful that she is MINE!</div>
