October Goals

I failed like normally at my yearly birthday goals. I love making them but never seem to finish them. To be honest I forget about them. I need to be reminded more often. I think I'm going to change to monthly goals. It seems a little more feasible for me.

We're going up north for a few days so two of these should be a given! Update will come at the end of the month with my November Goals.

If your were 'building' an island, what would you put in it?

Okay that was a lame try at coming up with a fun title. HA!

One of the items on our big list of things to do in our home is build an island. We really wanted a dishwasher and didn't want to lose any storage. After a lot of discussions we had this great idea to build an island and put the dishwasher in the end facing the sink. Perfect!

Tony did a great job and I love it!

The island was just built with plywood and extra doors we had from the cabinet that should be under the sink. The top is from Ikea.  

And we have a dishwasher - lifesaver! How did I ever live without one before?

The kitchen still needs a few things. We need to paint the trim, walls, lights, and do the backsplash. But then I think it's almost done!

 

 

Life. Slow down please!

I can't believe I'm 30.  What a crazy few months! 

First this happened. 

Yep - We are pregnant! I'm guessing but I think about 15 weeks. I should know an actual time at my next appointment. 

Then this happened. 

My sister got married. And it was the best day. So perfect. I will have more pictures soon. After the photographer puts them up. 

Yep - Life has been crazy the last few months. Work has been nuts, a few big changes have me struggling to get everything done. Life seems to be happening really fast. However, I'm going to start working hard at getting things back on track. I miss writing on the blog. I miss working toward my goals and wish list. I also decided to start Project Life last week for my 30th birthday. So I have set some new goals and hopefully I will be able to start writing on here again. It's nice to look back on. My online journal. 

Color Party - Yes Please!

Well now this looks fun! 

 

 

29 Things At 29: 3rd Quarter

A little late on this post - so much has been happening over here. I will let you in on the details soon. I wanted to make sure I got this post in before the final in October. lol

Here is my 3rd quarter 29@29

1. Organize my days better – Schedule!

How can I suck so bad at this? This is still a work in progress. I think it will haunt me forever. 

2. Swim in the ocean 

This one was completed in Maui! 

 

3. Do something brave

I think this is completed and details coming soon! I won't check it off yet until the end. But I think I have this one in the bag. ;) 

4. Lose weight & Eat Better

30 Pounds! 

6. Love going to new states, so let’s add more to the list

I already told you about Hawaii and I just recently went to Rhode Island! Tony and I drove through Delaware so we can check it off also!

9. Finish Lower floor of house. At least all the big jobs.

2 year post coming up soon! I'm late on that also. 

21. Pay off some debt (Something big)

We have paid off quite a few bills and have a plan for some other major bills by the end of the year! A few major issues including a cat surgery and our camera broke and needs to be fixed. 

25. Read more.

I read the Hunger Games, 50 Shades of Grey. Currently reading a book on SEO and Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and the Shameless Cover-Up.

28. Get outside more – camping, hiking, ect

We have camped more this year including swimming! Last year we didn't swim at all.
