check up...

Like I said when I set my goals. Some will never be touched, but if I set 50 goals, maybe one will get accomplished. 

I just wanted to do a little check in to see how I am doing and if nothing else, remind myself what I set out to accomplish...

1. Read the scriptures everyday - Check. 

2. Say Personal Prayers everyday - not quite as big of a check, but doing really good.

3. Have family scripture and prayer EVERY night - this one is easy because it is part of our bedtime routine but still want to make sure to do it. 

4. Family Home Evening every monday - 2 out of 4. Not bad. 

5. Loose 30 lbs. and all that this entails - HAHA.. I mean working on it. 

6. Work out 30 min 3 X a week. - ummm not quite, I think I may have worked out 3 times since the beginning, but you must know that is pretty good.

8. Average one to two photo shoots each week - not starting this one till later in the year... it is cold outside.
