*24*

Before I begin this list... I want to point out that although some most will be short term goals, I am making them short term goals in order to cross them out (for the sake of the blog and my fun), but hope that they will become long term lifestyle changes if I can stick with them for the duration of this blog.

P.S. These goals will be in no order of importance, they will be in order of how my mind works.

1. Create a blog!
2. Read the Bible every night before bed instead of falling asleep watching House Hunters for 2 weeks
3. Take a walk everyday with Giant Ginger Drooling Baby until it is too snowy/icy for that sort of thing
4. No pop for 3 months! I always fail at this one, but I'm keeping a positive attitude :)
5. Only allow myself the guilty pleasure of fried food one day of every month for a year
6. Train for and enter the Freedom 5K in the park next Fourth of July!
7. Call my sisters at least once a week! This is hard for me considering I hate talking on the phone, my phone is always near death, and babies enjoying bathing phones in drool when you would like to talk
8. Go to the gym once a week for 2 months.. and hopefully months after  but lets not get too crazy here
9. Only get my hair trimmed for 6 months.. no real haircuts
10. Oh also get my hair back to my natural hair color.. as in my roots not "growing in" because they really match!
11. Plan a special day of fun activities for my Niece and Nephew.. possibly including horrible things such as chuckie cheese, squirty worm, ice cream disasters, etc.
12. Graduate from college! Well this may not be crossed off by my 24th birthday, but it will be very close :) Cannot wait for this one
13. Be on time for work for a month! And I mean before or on the dot. No 5ish minute late deals
14. Go on a long bike ride with my love while it is still bike riding weather :)
15. Plan a little getaway for the day and keep it a secret from above mentioned love
16. Get a decent tan before the summers over.. had to have one silly one in here
17. Do something for under privileged children this Christmas.. most likely Operation Christmas Child
18. Resist buying anything I don't absolutely need for one month
19. Abstain from chocolate for 3 weeks.. I would say a month but I try to be somewhat realistic
20. Lose 5-10 lbs.. why not? I imagine this will take place if I complete 3 of my other goals ( those involving soda, fried food and chocolate)
21. Go camping/ hiking this fall! (Possibly coerce my non-camping sister into coming along with her family too)
22. Start helping out in the nursery at church :) because I just can't get enough babies
23. Make homemade Christmas presents for everyone on my list this year! sorry people if you do not enjoy homemade gifts.. cause you're getting 'em! ;)
24. Make somewhat elaborate cakes for Niece/Nephews/Ginger Baby's birthdays
