Goals: 2018 Version

1. Unpack the house and be completely settled by January 15th. Including all furniture purchased, and all junk tossed out.
   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.  
2. Fill out paperwork to foster/adopt and meet with agency by  end of January. 
   I have a contact.  This is in the works.  More to come on that later.   
3. Print family pictures to hang on canvas. Goal=1 new portrait a month during 2018.
   I ordered ONE this month!  Yay!  By the end of 2018 we should be well documented!
4. Take more photos with my camera and document our lives in real time via blog 2 times a month.
   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!
5. 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...
   I'm working on a few personal development goals that I will track this year.  I'll post those later on!  
6. Exercise 3 times a week.
   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!
7. 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.
   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.
8. Plant bulbs by end of Feb. and draw landscape plans.
   Just got my last shipment of bulbs this weekend.  I will buy some more and start planting this weekend.  I am so excited!
9. Clean out closet and donate/sell seasonal wardrobe excess by end of March. As we approach spring/summer completed by end of May.
   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!  
10. Plan 2018 & 2019 vacations. Brainstorm ideas for 10 year vow renewal...
    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!
