11 November Goals 2010

Here we are, it's round two for my list of goals. At the end of my list, I'll think back and see what I accomplished in October.

1. Go to Vegas! We're heading down with Corey and Nicole on the 19th to see Garth Brooks in concert - and we're itching to go and get away! Can't wait to eat at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar And Grill again; the food blew me away! (Photos from separate trips in 2008 and 2009).

2. Start getting healthier. Lately Justin and I have been slacking on this part of our life. We originally made this a New Years Resolution that has seemingly died since the wedding - but with Mexico coming up in four short months (really?) we need to kick this into high gear!

3. Go out for dinner on the 21st. We haven't really had an "official date" (you know: one that you look forward to for a while, want to get all dressed up for, and have those butterflies) since we've been married.

4. Help out Corey and Nicole in any way we can in order for them to not stress out, and enjoy the planning process of their wedding as much as possible. This includes drinks and nachos at Original Joe's! (Photo from August 2010.)

5. Be a better version of me. A better wife, mum to Lowie, daughter, daughter in law, sister, friend. Be more creative, be a better house keeper and cook more often.

6. Make sushi one night when Justin's either out of town or hunting (he's not the biggest fan). (The rest of these photos are from July/August 2008 during my time off to heal from appendicitis.)

7. Start using cash instead of my debit card. My spending (mostly Booster Juice and lunches) have kind of gotten out of hand. I know that if I'm forking over money and not plastic that will curb this habit!

8. Bake some peanut butter cookies.

9. Head out to the farm and take some more amazing photos that make me glad I brought my camera!

10. Start up the $20 date night again. I have a fondue set that I borrowed from my mum close to two years ago that I got for one of these dates, that I've never done. I need to do this and I've been planning other ideas also. Once a month was my original goal, but let's just get this one done for now!

11. Go for a walk (with Justin) in the park by our house.

Now for October's update: 5/10 completed to what I see as successful. That's probably a lot better than I would have done without the list - so mission accomplished! Justin found the memory card with the honeymoon photos on it, "in a satchel in the pantry" - I would never have found it! I had a Halloween costume for Josh and Chelsey's house party: I was a French maid and Justin showed up in what he wore that day - he was a hunter. Instead of the deep-fried turkey, Justin made lasagna and we had everyone over (and in addition, on another night the future Pearse's came over and we deep-fried a chicken). I completed all the thank-you cards, and sent out all but one of them (we hadn't recieved the gift yet at the time I mailed them out - I'll get the one done to Auntie Faye soon). Our photographers did complete the editing of our wedding photos, and they're up on their proofing site - now just need to get ahold of them for the disc and get copies out to everyone.
