update on this years goals....

2012

- finish the new flower bed along the south of the front yard. including a stone path a bistro table. -- i continued to work on the corner but didn't get the opportunity to polish it off.
- i wanted to get our photos taken professionally. -- didn't happen
- build a pergola over the back patio. -- far from happening. but mitch did build a big gate into our fence.
- be more creative and artistic. -- i made small progress here. i managed to make a few cards, craft here and there and even learned how to crochet this past week.
- scrapbook our wedding. -- i didn't even come close to accomplishing this goal. i did manage to get some photos printed off though. not necessarily wedding photos though. baby steps {?}
- read more books. -- check. granted it wasn't as many as i had hoped but more than i have in past years :)
- maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet. -- with mono and being hypothyroid, i started the year of needing to jump start this area. i feel like i incorporated new habits like drinking more water and being more active.
- exercise. go to the gym 3x a week. working out with mitch. be consistent in walking the boys and help jake lose some weight. -- i started the year off strong. i got into the habit of working out but slacked off during the busy season. i managed to keep my side of the goal for most of the year. jake still needs to lose some weight... 
- finish decorating my office. -- i'm not ready to check this off the list but progress has been made.
- paint our living room wall. -- check!
- finish decorating our home. -- didn't make too much progress here.
- nurture my marriage. -- i feel like i've made good progress here. naturally it will continue to be a goal of mine through the years.
- compete in a triathlon with mitch. -- no luck here.
- hike mt. timpanogos. -- no luck here either.
- hike the subway at zions. -- we checked this off our list. it was a grand adventure!
- vacation to disneyland. turned booked a cruise to the caribbean instead. -- no luck on either account. the cruise line cancelled our cruise and refunded us. we are planning on disneyland in 2013 though.
