06-12-09; Hello, Gorgeous Summer!

Wow, that school year went extremely fast - minus the fact that I was counting down to summer since winter break, but that's beside the point. I would have to say I started the summer with a bang, you know Italy & all was pretty fantastic. I'll have pictures around at some point, but I've been pretty lazy since getting back, which is not good since I have plenty to keep me busy this summer. I figure I'll actually start those things come Monday - I mean it's Friday afterall, you can't start something on a Friday. Ha! Okay, that's not true, but I'm not going to start stuff on Friday.

Okay, so I have some goals for this summer. I always seem to believe summer is my version of New Years. Why? I think it has something to do with the fact that it's so gorgeous outside that it basically inspires you to want to make good changes in your life. Winter around here is just so cold and gloomy that it's hard to do anything but sit around and keep up with your bad habits. That's probably a bit over dramatic, but I can be that way sometime. I figure if I make a list I'll be more likely to stick with it. That's not true, but I hope it'll help me keep accountable with myself and others - not that people actually read this thing. I kind of prefer it that way because I've looked back at some of the things I've wrote & I'm a total drama queen. I get it naturally - you should just meet the women of my family.
ANYWAY! List, okay, here it goes;
1. Get in shape: I say this every summer, and New Year for that matter, but I feel like I can actually stick to it this time. Why? I don't know, but I hope I do.
2. Blog at least once a week: That's probably a bit too much, but I'm hoping it will keep me accountable with my life. I figure if I have to blog about my life every week than I might actually do something interesting. Ha!
3. Get things started for next school year: This isn't a goal, it's a must. I have so much going on next year it's not even funny.
4. Send a Postsecret: It's gotta be a happy one though.
5. Read 12 books: One down & it was amazing!
6. Find a good devotional book for Jon & I: It's difficult to find couple ones that aren't surrounded by the idea of marriage, but we're bound & determined.

This will be updated & I'm sure things will be added. Keep me accountable!
