Being as it’s a new year I think it’s time for a 101 list update. I think it’s a great time to look at some things I’ve crossed off my list and think about some things to check off in the coming months!
Kindness
1. Write ten random letters or emails to family members and friends letting them know how special they are to me (1/10)
*sent my BFF, Juli, a card this week just for being awesome. She has been so supportive throughout my pregnancy and it means so much to me to have her in my life. I can’t wait for her to meet our little one!
Settled
7. Refurbish the dining room hutch
*We completed this project in the fall! I didn’t take before and after pictures of the project, but I will find some old pictures of the hutch and take some pictures of how it looks now. We removed the top, sanded down the ‘gouges’ and marks then painted it a pretty light grey. Hubs also got the metallic spray paint and painted the hinges a pretty silver color (much better than the brass they were). We replaced the knobs with antique looking glass knobs and it looks so pretty in our entry way. Now all I need is some artwork for above!
Creative
23. Write my master’s capstone (thesis) and enjoy the creative process

Joyful
28. Have five Mommy-daughter days with my mom doing something new (1/5)
*went on a lunch date and shopping with the daughters and mom’s in September. My SIL and MIL, Mom and I had a great time!
Growing:: literally and figuratively
39. Graduate with my master’s degree (!!!!!)
40. Pass the Practitioner of Human Resources exam (PHR)
*not done, but in progress! I am planning on taking the exam in May!
43. Successfully plant a vegetable other than upside-down tomatoes
*we successfully planted green peppers this summer!!! They turned out GREAT and didn’t stop growing until the end of October!
Healthifying
55. Take a multivitamin every day for a month (30/30)
*I’ve successfully taken a multivitamin every day since July! Being preggers makes you very aware of nutrients for your little one!
59. Get a flu shot every year (2/3)
Playing
67. Have at least one friend get together every other month (9/14)
*We’ve had a ton of get togethers with friends lately. We had Chip and Kristin down before Christmas for a night out on the town. We had dinner at a local gastro-pub and went to see a local Christmas light display. The weekend after Christmas we had our friends Ariel, Ben, Gina, John and Brittany over for a game night- so much fun!
69. Plan awesome 30th birthday for husband
*we had a blast at his 30th birthday party in November- huge success!

Purchasing
87. Buy a DSLR camera
87. Buy a DSLR camera
*In progress- have the camera in our possession for a trial run. Our friends Chip an Kristin upgraded their DSLR. We were thinking of buying their old one before baby comes. As a very generous gesture, they let us borrow it for a little while to make sure we like it. WE DO! I’ll be purchasing it formally from them next time we see them. J
Baking/Cooking
98. Make Christmas cookies every year (2/3)
*cookie day in December was a huge success! Over 400 cookies were baked!
I’d say I’m on the right track. I have a lot more to cross off this list in the next year and a half! Better get cracking!
