...my best friend is getting married.
And I get to stand and testify to her love for him and their love for Christ.

6 month check up on 2012 goals
1) Learn German. Ehh. This one is on hold for the time being. Faith and I are learning Koine Greek, instead! Rosetta Stone's too danged expensive!
2) Read through the complete works of Shakespeare. Gonna work on this one this summer! AKA soon.
3) Go hiking/camping on a mountain with Kevin. Also a summer goal. Probably going to count this as completed when Collette & Pete come out and visit (which we so very much hope they will do!)
4) See sunrise on said mountain. See above.
5) Use the paint supplies I have acquired. Well, I've only got blank canvases. No paint. So...
6) Use the Pilates DVD and mat I bought myself for Christmas. For two weeks, I was pretty faithful with this, but things got busy & I got lazy. Will have to pick it up again. Oy.
7) Write a letter to a friend a week. With this, I've done okay. I wouldn't say it's been one per week, but at least three a month!
8) Journal weekly. Yessah!
9) Read through the collected works of Milton. Erhm... after Shakespeare. Promise.
10) Read through the collected works of Lewis. Have read The Great Divorce, and am half done with The Four Loves. For my thoughts on these, see my other blog!
11) Read through The Making of a Sonnet, and attempt one a month. Nope. Haven't been feeling it. But might be a good fall-winter activity. Will see.
12) Work harder than absolutely necessary. I think I've got this one. But, to be continued.
13) Develop relationships with the girls in the youth group. Yes! So far so good! Also, to be continued!
14) Sing out. Yes... but I need to be reminded of this kinda often.
15) Develop better posture. Oy. I need to see a chiropractor.
16) Complete the application process and become a certified teacher in the state of Colorado. Yes! Finished the application, just waiting to hear!
17) Learn more about pre-K education. Finished ECE101, just begun Guidance Strategies!
18) Collect and read as many of my childhood-favorite books as I possibly can! Doing okay with this one, too - read The Prisoner of Zenda, and recently acquired the Roll of Thunder series!
How are YOU doing on your 2012 goals??
As you can see, I've got a lot of work to do..........
but 9/18 seems to be right on track!
