goal update...again

1. read BofM everyday. I'm doing horrible with reading. i think part of it is because bran goes to bed at 9pm and i'm still out running or getting things done and we usually read together. really want to read the study guide book though....gotta do it!
2. pray morning & night. we both still do really well with this. personally and together.
3. exercise 3-5 days a week for at least 30 mins. i think this is the goal i've been doing the best with. i go running with amber 2-3 days a week for about 30 mins. then i do tummy work outs at home and i've just decided to start riding my bike to work 2-3 days a week. it's 6 miles each way. I'm way excited!
4. go to church when i have sundays off. well now that i dont work sundays at all you think i'd be able to do it everyweek. well we're either out of town, or going to SLC or sleeping in...im such a SLACKER!
5. have FHE on mondays. haven't really done this yet. *sigh* i'm not doing too good with my goals this year.
6. write in my journal more often. i do ok with this. i do more on my blog which is my journal as well. i just dont have it in my journal book. everynow and then i transfer it to my book.
7. keep in touch with my family & friends more. i think i'm doing pretty good with this. i try to send out emails and shout outs to them. if i dont here's a SHOUT-OUT!!! :-)
8. try to be thankful for everything i have and not covet what i dont have. brandon and i pray for this all the time. we're so thankful for what we have and don't worry about what we don't and just do our best to follow the prophet.
9. keep my house more organized and clean (brandon i need your help). i'm doing great with this!!! well until our vacuum just broke last week. yucky floors now.
10. start getting my food storage together and organized. my mom still helps alot with this. thanks marmee. since we don't have extra monies (and still trying to sell either truck) i have to wait til we sell the truck, fish tank, or oven to use monies for food storage. i keep praying we'll sell the truck...nothing yet.
11. learn guitar. i had my two-two weeks in a row lessons which went well and helped me alot. i didn't play for about 2 months after that. then all of a sudden i took a big interest in it again. i've been teaching myself tabs and have mastered a couple of songs. i hope to keep learning!
12. go to the temple once a month. our recommends were expired and took us about 2 months to get interviews and signed. we're back in business. we'll be going soon!!!
12 1/2. move back to arizona....this won't happen for a long time :-(

it is stressful at first but then it's ok the hardest part- is they're like a human- you NEVER know when it's guna happen! we lost one of her puppies becuase we didn't know she went into labor and she had one in her kennel, then came out and had one in her bed and then is when we all noticed so we had NO idea about that poor little one in the kennel :( but just making sure they come out, the placenta come out and that they nurse is most important- the good ol internet had STEP by step directions! we had to pull them up since my mom was at work! they helped.. so you think beg. of sept??
