25. Build craft armoire

26. Make 10 crafty things – Ok, so I had to stretch to make this goal complete. In my defense, 32 was an extremely busy year for me.  A new job. Grad school was tough, especially five classes squeezed into 14 weeks this summer…I still can’t believe I survived that!

9. Ohio State-M*ch*gan book 2.0
10. Made a card for Scott for Father’s Day (so counts…I had to upload the picture)
11. Mini Moo Cards

27. Do 10 things I’ve never done before – What I’ve found I love about this goal is when my sister reminds me that something could be added to this list. It makes me happy that she helps me with this.

1. Be a gym teacher & music teacher (I filled in a class each)
2. Cooked pumpkins and then froze the meat.
3. Went to a midnight movie premiere…The Hunger Games with Nick & the Schaumleffels.
4. Hair professionally colored.
5. Climbed a lighthouse.
6. Gave blood (so counts for 2 goals!)
7. Went and saw Danette finish Pelotonia ‘12
8. Purchased season ticket for high school football (brother is playing)
9. Ate at Tlaquepaque.
10. Ate asparagus that I planted myself the year before.
11. Cut nearly 10” of hair off and donated it to Pantene’s wig program.

28. Mani &/or pedi – nope : (

29. Start living room makeover – Painted the walls is as far as I got. But I’ve totally written down a plan to get this done.

30. Be intentional with my time – This I think I’ve done better with.  I think my overwhelming summer helped me see how important time is.

31. Clean/organize the basement – Bean got a little bit done. Hoping we can work together and get this done.

32. Clean out the garage – haven’t done anything since it was discussed.

I completed 14 and made some progress on 7 others. I’m happy with it. I think that was great for the crazy busy year I ended up having. And look at the book list…what I did there was not easy. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was difficult and then I also read Jane Eyre. Bonus points?  Those that didn’t get done have been moved over to my new list. And I’m so excited about sharing my next set of goals!
