I thought it might be time to do a little update...just to see how on track I am on my 2012 goals. Here is my update for June:
Financial
Start putting money into savings. (Yes.)
Starting a Christmas fund. (I actually used some of these funds to buy Christmas gifts! Talk about being on the ball!)
Vacation fund. (Update: Got a little bit in there!)
School
Plan out the year with Tot School. (Update: The year is planned out and modified for us. We took a break this week when Justin was on the Mission Trip. As for Julie, I'm taking it slow with her.)
Home Management
Make a cleaning schedule and stick to it weekly. (Update: My own cleaning list was too ambitious. So now I am trying a modified cleaning list from Little Green Notebook. It is working great!)
Personal
Books
Here is the list I want to read. Again, I'm shooting under the table because if I finish this list, I can ADD MORE.
The Hole in the Gospel by Richard Sterns (Finished in April. I felt that the Part 1, 2, and 3 were too long. And Parts 4 and 5 were too short! But overall a good read. Some great principles and ideas discussed in here.)
Real Marriage by Mark Driscoll (Finished in February. It took me almost all month to read this. It was not interesting.)
Ministry of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson
The Hunger Games by Suzane Collins
The Help by Kathryn Stockett (Finished in January. Fantastic book! But after reading the book, the movie was very disappointing.)
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen (Finished in February. Love, love, love it! I watched the movie and loved it! I think I had lowered my expectations of books turned into books after watching The Help.)
The Choice by Suzanne Woods Fisher
More Lost Than Found by Jared Herd
Kisses from Katie by Katie J. Davis (Finished in January. A great read about an amazing young lady following Jesus to Africa. Highly reccomend!)
Radical by David Platt
Book read with YA Book Club at church:
1000 Gifts by Ann Voskmap (Finished in March. Highly recommend!)
Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton (Hardest book I ever read. Period. But I'm so glad I read it. Lots of great things to think about.)
Books I've added on:
Bossypants by Tina Fey
Bible Study time
Memorize the book of James (Memorized to verse 2:9. I downloaded Scripture Typer for the iPhone and am loving it! Scripture Typer helped me memorize 14 verses this month! I highly recommend this app.)
Mercy Triumphs by Beth Moore (Finished. So good!)
Study Ephesians with Good Morning Girls. (Done!)
31 Days to Pray for your Children from Keep it Personal (Done.)
Proverbs 31 Woman from Good Morning Girls. (Doing this now.)
Whew...in just a month, I've accomplished a lot!
