Goals

Being at the half-way point in the year, I decided to see how I'm doing with my "new year's resolutions."

*Eat healthier/cut back on soda
Wellllll, hasn't really changed, but I do have a little more portion control.
*Actually use our home gym
HA.
*Read the Book of Mormon
Still need to work on that. I have my weeks.
*Read/Pray daily
Read-see above. Pray-I'm doin' pretty well.
*Find ways to serve others more
Well I don't do a good job of "finding" but I'm not hesitant and I've had opportunities.
*DON'T procrastinate!!!
Started off bad but this quarter I've done fairly well! ~pat on the back~
*Be a nicer person/smile more (everyone always bugs me about not smiling enough)
I actually think I've done a little better. Maybe it's just because I know more people?

Maybe I need to set more realistic goals. Or just DO what I tell myself to do.

May '11...Onto June '11

Well we made it through May! It was kind of a busy month considering how many things we had to celebrate...yet I documented nothing. Well following Mother's Day, and my dad's birthday, Devin and Lane share their birthdays. I guess I'm not very creative this year (starting with Valentine's Day). Lane worked on his birthday, and then I worked. We squeezed lunch in between with his parents, Blake & Kim. Poor Lane, no party or anything! Well here's the 28 year old.
Then we had Leo's 1 year old birthday party (Brady & Leah's baby), Trevor's birthday, Lane's dad's birthday, and Blake's birthday.
...And to top off the month, we celebrated our 3 year anniversary. And by celebrating I mean Lane worked out of town during the day so I went to lunch with Brady and Leah, then when he got home we went and got burgers from Rusty's and went over to Brady and Leah's. I know, is that romantic or what?! I was fine with it. My burger tasted great and I got to spend time with him and our friends. (We were able to go to the temple together the weekend before, so I consider that part of our celebration.)  

I've probably said it before but our 3 years of being married feels like it's gone by super fast, but at the same time feels like it's been a long time already because we've lived in 4 different places--3 different states. Lane's had 4 different jobs, I've had 3 different jobs. I've attended 3 different schools. We bought and renovated a house for goodness sakes! We've accomplished a lot. I love Lane more and more every day. He continues to make me laugh and supports me which helps me grow. I wouldn't be where I'm at in life if it weren't for him (besides the obvious getting married). I'm so excited to have him for eternity.

Now we're in the month of June. I have a week left of the quarter-- my how those quarters fly! I will be student teaching in no time! My youngest brother (the last of the bunch) graduates today! I'm so excited for him! I'm also really sad because I'm missing his graduation. I missed Trevor's too! I'm a horrible sister. Trevor at least got to come live with us for a little bit. Devin is going all the way to Hawaii for school, and then leave on his mission probably and I'll never see him again! Ok, not that dramatic, I'll probably see him at Christmas and stuff. I feel for my parents becoming empty-nesters, but from a child missing home point of view. I can't imagine in like 25 years all my kids leaving the house. That makes me nervous to have kids, I don't want that part to come. Anyway, rambling.


ps. I feel like everyone around me is pregnant! (My best friend Jenna, Cate Hopkins, Lacey Somers, AmyLee and Marianne in my class, a couple others I'm not announcing to the public and/or am forgetting at the moment).
