February Goals


Now that it's already the middle of February, let me tell you about my goals:

February Specific Goals:
  • Catch up in Indy's baby book
  • Write Wills

Continuing Goals:
  •  Go to the temple 12 times
  • Write at least 20 blog posts
  • Hold at least 45 Family Home Evenings
  • Have at least 1 out of the house activity per month
  • Go to 3 museums
  • Host at least 12 game nights

Since the month is already half gone, I'm glad to report that I've actually been pretty productive. (Obviously not in the blogging department though...) 

I've already written our Wills. I used a sight called Law Depot which offered a TurboTax-like experience, where they ask you simple questions and then fill in all the legal mumbo jumbo for you. They offer a 7 day free trial in which you can use their service to complete as many legal forms as you want. I did a Last Will and Testament each for Lewis and I and a Living Will for Lewis. I have yet to cancel the subscription since my mom wants to use it to do her Will too. I'll let you know if they give me alot of grief to cancel or if it is as easy as it sounds. Now I just have to con two unsuspecting people into witnessing it. ("You know the rule. Never witness nothing. You live longer." - Name that incredibly awesome movie!)

I haven't been very artistically motivated to work on Indy's baby book or finish our family journal which I didn't get done last month, which is kinda weird considering how much I've enjoyed making handmade Valentine's for my mom, my husband, and my friend in our awesome Valentine exchange. But I've been pretty busy being sick, and helping make a spy game for my friend, Rena's Valentine's Day party. So now that things are quieting down a bit, I'll hopefully feel inspired to work on the books as well as all my other goals. I already have plans for a Chinese New Year party/game night, and an out of the house FHE activity which will be 2 birds with one stone. So things are looking good that I'll at least meet most of my goals if not all. Wish me luck!

Project 22: January Report






January has come and gone and it's now time to let you know how it went. I must say, that having to report back in public on my goals has really motivated me. It motivated me so much in fact, that I almost did them!

Here's how it went:

Completed:

  •  Keep a family scripture reading chart

  • Have at least 1 out of the house activity per month
 We did this one many times over! We had a fun night at Chuck-E-Cheeses with Lewis' parents. (Indy gets so spoiled around here!)
We watched Heidi's kids, which was a nice chance for them to have an actual date and Indy loved playing with his cousins.
We went to Gwendalyn's 2nd birthday party and later to Windy's 40th birthday party. An impromptu dance party broke out and Indy joined in by trying to practice karate on all the twirling little girls. It was the funniest thing ever.
We checked out the new Provo Rec Center, which was awesome but we decided not to buy a year membership since it wouldn't save us much money and cost as much as our annual Disneyland passes! Sorry Provo Rec Center, you're just not as cool as Disneyland. Don't feel bad, most things aren't. But I do hope to visit you again soon. The daily rate is not too expensive so I'm sure we will.
We also went to Aunt Char's house and had another Christmas! (What did I tell you about about Indy getting spoiled?!)

  • Start Good Things Jar
Isn't it cute? I've already put 2 notes in it and I'm glad I did because I probably would have forgotten all about them if I hadn't. In fact, I already can't remember what the 2nd thing was! 

Right on Target:
  •  Go to the temple 12 times (1/12)
  • Write at least 20 blog posts (2/20)
  • Host at least 12 game nights (1/12)

Needs Improvement:
  •  Hold at least 45 Family Home Evenings (3/45)
We were supposed to have done 4 FHE's by now but I knew this would be the hardest one for us which is why I picked 45 for the year instead of 52. So As long as we stay as good as we've been doing, we'll still reach our goal... barely. 

Failed: 
  • Catch up in family journal
I started it but my creative juices just have not been flowing. So I did all the preliminary stuff like jotting down the main things that have happened, and printing out and trimming the pictures I want to put in. But I just haven't wanted to write anything, which is one of the reasons it's taken me so long to write this post. The other reasons for the delay you can read all about in the next two posts I'll put up in the next couple of days. So check back soon!
