4. Finish two books with Doad
Still working on our current read: A Meal With Jesus: Discovering Grace, Community, and Mission Around the Table by Tim Chester. I think we have one chapter left. :)
5. Read 24 books
I'm slacking a little bit on my reading, but I've gained momentum the past week or so and hope to catch up soon. I'm currently reading book #5 for the year (The Promise of a Pencil by Adam Braun). Books #2-4 were the following:
The Tapping Solution by Nick Ortner - way more interesting than I expected and definitely something I want to try more often. I tapped often when reading the book, but have forgotten to do it now that I'm not reading it anymore. I'd be very interested to know if I have any readers who tap. I struggle with anxiety and handling my stress and found it very helpful when I remembered to use it to calm myself down!
Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler - best book I've read this year!!! I can't recommend it enough, for all women, not just those trying to get pregnant. I thought I knew a lot about reproductive health, fertility, and FAM but this book still taught me tons. I borrowed it from the library, but really really want to get my own copy. It's a valuable resource that I think every woman should own! Have a raved highly enough about this book yet? Lol, go and read it NOW! :p
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - :) After all the thick, informative books I'd been reading I decided my brain needed a break. Expect to see the rest of the series pop up on this list throughout the year. ;)
6. Marriage Conference
Bleh. This is harder than I thought. I used to hear about these all the time on the radio. Now I can't find any in our area... does anybody have good recommendations?
7. Go on a cruise (or nice vacation)
Yes! This is happening!!! We are headed to an all-inclusive resort in Cancun soon!! :) I can't wait!
8. Have all purple hair
This is in progress. I have *mostly* purple hair, but some of it didn't take and is more on the pinkish side. I'm gonna be a jerk and make you guys wait for a pic until it's finished. :p
9. Color run?
We've kind of stopped with the running this year. Maybe we'll pick it up again now that the weather's nice again, but we definitely are the hibernating type while it's cold. I also just enjoy long walks together over running. We've kept up with the fitness though and I currently attend a zumba step class and a yoga class twice a week. I love it! Why didn't anyone tell me working out could be super fun before? This is one of the first weekly fitness/exercise habits that I've stuck with for more than a month :p
All that to say, a color run is not out of the question for the year, but it's not high on the list... we'll see.
10. Keep up with the Spanish lessons
I have slowly been getting back into the Spanish lessons. I think I'm on lesson 17? So over halfway through. :) Our trip to Cancun has been a helpful motivator. Now that I have purple hair, I don't think as many people will mistake me for a native as they did on our trip to the Dominican Republic, but I'd still like to be able to carry on a conversation while we're there.
11. I finally remembered my last goal.... Learn to drive a stick shift!
Since we've been married, Doad's cars have always been ones with manual transmissions. I have "practiced" in parking lots several times, but still don't have the confidence to get out on the road. It's time. 2015 is the year that I will learn to drive a stick shift!
Be encouraged, friends! It's not too late to chip away at your resolutions. Even if you haven't thought about them at all in weeks or months, just take one step today towards accomplishing one. It's all in the baby steps. :) Leave me a comment and tell me what your baby step is for today. Mine is knocking out a couple of chapters in my current book. :)
