Follow-up on My Summer Aspirations
It's been more than a month since the post when I listed my summer aspirations. Figured it might be a good time to do some follow up on that and to see where I stand or how well I've personally been doing with the list. So here goes...
1. Consistently play more tennis despite the heat.
Haven't played much during the day since we're always at the office, but we do play in the evenings, just not as often as I'd like us to.
2. Lose 10 pounds as a result of that. (I'm unsure about this one, but what the heck, it's worth the try)
Unfortunately haven't seen much changes.
3. Help more people. (Don't know how, but I'm sure the need to help will come around)
I believe I've been doing pretty good at this one.
4. Have more random dates with my sweet hubby.
Yes.
5. Try out more recipes from the gazillion new cookbooks that I have.
Another yes to this one.
6. Go to the beach.
Nope.
7. Swim more.
Maybe.
8. Visit with friends around the metroplex area whom we don't regularly talk to or see.
Slowly but surely.
9. Staying tune to the World Cup.
Definitely a YES to this one!
10. Being what God wants me to be to the kids during our week-long mission trip to New Orleans. (This one is definitely not an option to back out on)
Came home last Friday from this trip and needless to say the Lord has used me (and the kids) in ways that I couldn't even imagine possible.
11. Catch up with "Lost" and watch all the previous episodes we've missed.
Haha..yeah right.
12. Move into a house.
Still working on this. First of all, need to find a house that we'd like to move into. No such luck yet.
13. Read a book or 2, particularly "The Chronicles of Narnia". (This is a huge deal, considering I'm not a reader)
Goodness, haven't even lifted up a book yet.
14. Try and figure out all these insurance stuff at work. (I'm struggling to keep up with all that Josue is doing plus my own responsibilities. Insurance is confusing anyway)
Yes, I can say that I'm definitely improving in this area. Everything is gradually making more sense!
15. Invite our fellow work colleagues and their significant others over for dinner.
Still not yet.
16. Work on my photo scrapbook.
Good grief, I need to find all my scrapbook supplies first, and oh, find the time as well.
17. Prepare for my parents' visit. (Already starting to do that, and am very excited!)
Still preparing, and counting down the days. In about 5 weeks!!
18. Get graduation presents for my brother (graduated 2 weeks ago) and my sis-in-law (will graduate in August).
Not yet, but we are seeing them this weekend in Abilene, so might be a good opportunity then.
19. Get a haircut, hopefully a new hairstyle this time. (Any recommendations or suggestions, girls?)
This I've already accomplished and I LOVE my totally new look. Have been receiving great compliments on it too, so I know it is definitely worth it!
20. Ride the DART bus.
Almost did, but not quite yet.
