Project 52

Where did last year go? Seriously. It came and went so fast. Well, with the new year it is time to make some goals. Last year I only had one (I know, not really shooting for the stars), Food storage. I'm proud to report that I made really good strides with it. I don't have 1 year for each of us but at least 6mo for each of us and possible a little more than that(considering I had nothing in the beginning of the year I would say that is pretty good).

This year I will be striving for a little bit more. 51 more goals than this year to be exact. My good friend Karen from A Peek at Karen's World, has started project 52. The goal is to set 52 goals. One for each week of the year (not that you have to do one per week just finish all 52 by the end of the year). She does a really good job of describing it so go on over to her blog and click on the tab at the top called Project 52. Then after you do that join in!



So with out further adieu, here are my goals.

1. Laundry every other Wednesday
2. Ironing every Thursday
3. Start and attend a spanish class taught by my husband (by February)
4. Volunteer in the community once per quarter of the year
5. Learn to play one of the nursery songs on the piano each month till all are learned
6. Increase my workout schedule from 3 times per week to 4.
7. Take a bike ride with my husband at least 3x per week.

40. Be gluten free for entire year
41. Take vitamins everyday
42. Drink 4 glasses of water every day
43. Add three months (each) of food storage
44. Fill water storage
45. Throw one baby shower
46. Clean off my chair in my bedroom 1x per week
47. Have a conversation with someone in Spanish
48. Take 6 dance classes
49. Read each book club book.
50. Sing in church (solo)
51. Make a skirt and wear it to church
52. Purchase a gun

That was kind of hard but I'm glad they are down. Now, I'm posting these so that I have some accountability. We are supposed to do an update post once per week to share how I am doing on my goals. I will try, but it will most likely be once per month.

If you have set some goals, I wish you luck!

I'm running a 5k on the 4th of July, if you want to do it with me! It's the La Palma days run. I'm totally NOT a runner, so no pressure. :) I loved reading your goals, I need to do this too!!
