Remember those Resolutions we set at the beginning of the year? Time for a check up!
Let's see how we're doing...
Goal #1: Save Money.
I am happy to say that we are right on track with where we need to be to meet our goal at the end of the year! Also, if things go as planned, my student loan will be paid off next month, meaning it will be paid off in half the time. I love paying things off in half the time! If only we could say that about Dustin's student loans as well...
Goal #2: Lose 50 lbs.
Ha. Hahaha. Bahahaha. In February losing 5 pounds a month was doable. Too bad I didn't really work on it until June. It's been a slow journey, but we are getting there. I joined Weight Watchers and I have to say, I love their program. It's slow. So very very slow. But I feel like this is a program that I could do for the rest of my life. You can eat real food. You can eat whatever you want. And you can lose weight. So far I am down 17 pounds. As long as I can average 2ish pounds a week for the rest of the year, then I can make my goal, but I won't beat myself up if I don't get all the way to 50 pounds. I'm happy with my progress and with any more to come.
Goal #3: Dustin pass all his classes.
Well, there was one class he had to retake, but just the final at the end of the next quarter. And he passed it then, so sure, we can say we're good on this one. :) This quarter has been rough and next quarter will be even worse. Fingers crossed and minds a studyin' for the rest of the year!
Goal #4: Brianne read a book a quarter.
YES! I have done this goal. So glad I set it! This year I've read Bossypants, The Great Gatsby, and Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief. Currently working on Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters and next quarter will be The Help. Any other good book recommendations?
Goal #5: Daily Scripture Reading.
Epic Fail. Recommitting right now. So far, doing great this week.
Goal #6: Make new friends/hang out with current friends. We're doing ok. But I think there is room for improvement.
Goal #7: Brianne piece a quilt a quarter, finishing 2 for the year. Have I posted any quilting pics lately? Maybe I should do a post on that. First quarter- yellow/gray chevron, second quarter- baseball quilt, third quarter- pink/green 4 patch for Kendra's baby girl due Thanksgiving, should finish it up this week so I can contemplate quilting it myself or hiring it out, and a cuddle strip quilt (2 quilts this quarter!)
Goal #8: Dustin find a new hobby. How about studying? That should be his new hobby. Oh wait, he DOES have a new hobby- feeding the fish. He loves our fish, Rambo and Chuck Norris. Fish are his hobby. Check.
Goal #9: Go on a vacation.
YES! DC was such a great trip and I'm so glad we got to spend time with family! We've had mini vacations here and there too. It's been a good year for us!
Closing up this quarter and one more to go! My how time flies!

I like this idea of keeping track of resolutions. We are historically very bad at keeping resolutions so we have given up making them. This is a better approach!
