Kedra's 14 Goals for 2014

I have a friend who has inspired to think about setting some goals for the year.  I think I'll start small and work my way to more after success:)  There's just so many things in life that I say, "Oh, I'd really love to do that" and then of course life gets busy and I forget or don't find time to do it.

X 1.  Take Carter and Lanie, each separately, on a mommy date.
Sort of.  Took Carter to see the movie Guardians of the Galaxy on a mommy date, but never really did a date with Lanie.  Need to do better in 2015.

X 2.  Have a game night at our house with friends.
Invited Kenealy's over in January for chili and games
Had Lindemann's over in February for tacos and card games

 3.  Get together with girl friends that I don't see very often, specifically; Jessie, Mindy, Jennifer, Nicole, Lisa, and Amber at least once next year.
Spent night with kids at Mindy's in January, went to a concert in Kansas City with Nicole and Mindy, continued book clubs to see Lisa and Amber.
Never made it to Jennifer's or Jessie's:(

4.  Go to an event with my mom and sister.
Nope:(

X  5.  Run further than I ran last year.
I definitely accomplished this with Relay Iowa, Market to Market, and Des Moines Half Marathon.

6.  Take an adult dance class, individually or as a couple.
Nope:(  But watched a lot of Dancing with the Stars!

7.  Be more secure.
Getting better.

8.  Be more honest.
Getting better.

9.  Do at least 1 craft for the house, 1 craft with the kids, 1 thing for the classroom, 1 thing for Matthew, and 1 organization/ home improvement every month.

January -

Valentine's Door Hanger with Mindy

Valentine's Day Topiary at Nonfiction Book club

 My Dad made the frame and I used the alphabet letters from a gift given to me years ago from friends.  Then I used my cricut to cut out the established part.  We hung it above the front door where it adds so much to that front entry.

10.  Apply to be part of the Teacher Leadership team if the occasion arises.
Didn't arise in 2014 but maybe 2015:)

X 11.  Find time to read everyday.
Read and recorded 43 books this year on Goodreads!

X  12.  Continue to update blog monthly.
Yes!

13.  Remember my priorites; Matthew, the kids, my family, my career, my friends.
Doing better:)

14.  Think positive thoughts and try to be more positive in all areas of my life.
This has to be ongoing:)
