2013 Goal Update

We're over two months into 2013! What!  It's so crazy that St. Patrick's Day and Easter are just right around the corner.  So, I thought I would check in and update my goals, in an attempt to hold me accountable.


Personal
1. Read 1 novel and 1 non-fiction book a month
     * January- The Mission of Motherhood, The Litigators
     * February- I started books in February, so I'm going to count those when I finish them :)
2. Capture the moments- journal/ take and organize pictures
     * I put the first of Landry's pictures into an album
     * I did start a journal, which consists of sermon notes, prayer journaling, random journaling.  It's by
        no means an everyday thing, but it's a start.
3. Learn to do something new
     * I did buy 2 hanging plants, so that could be the start of learning to garden, right?
4. Go somewhere new
5. Go to coffee/lunch with someone new each month
     * January- met a friend at Panera
     * February- met a different friend at Panera
     * March- go somewhere other than Panera :)

Career
1. Get a part-time job or internship
2. Join a local bar (code for legal networking club)
3. Pay dues to FL Bar
4. Get some CLE credit
5. Volunteer/work with human trafficking organization
    * Am meeting with a new friend whose organization No More helps support organizations fighting
       human trafficking and other issues to see how I can get involved

Physical
1. Run a 1/2 marathon
     * Josh and I ran the Gasparilla half-marathon on February 24.  I ran a 2:06, which beat my previous
        time by almost 15 minutes! And I didn't have to walk until 10 1/2 miles.
2. Develop a healthy eating lifestyle
3. Get back to pre-baby weight
     * So close- about 2-3 lbs. away
4. Run a mile in under 8 minutes
     *  Josh challenged me to do a speed workout, where I had to run back to back fast miles and both
        were under 8 minutes! My fastest time was 7:17
5. Join an exercise class

Spiritual
1. Establish a daily quiet time/prayer time
    * It's not exactly daily yet, but I do get to it more days than not.  I'm having to be content with the
       fact that it is not at the same time everyday, but I have a 6 month old so give me a break.
2. Do a Beth Moore bible study
    * It's not Beth Moore, but I'm getting ready to lead a bible study for college-aged girls by Kelly
       Minter called, Nehemiah.
3. Read through the Old Testament
    * I've read Joel, Proverbs, and Ezra.
4. Find a mentor and be a mentor
5. Embrace and live in the promises of God
    * Continually working on this one!

Homemaking
1. Put hardwood in dining room
2. Finish painting
3. Put backsplash in kitchen
4. Improve on cooking :)
    * I AM cooking, sometimes :)
5. Organize! (garage/closets/office/laundry room)
