April in Review (the abridged version)




This post was supposed to happen yesterday because I had plans for a different post today.  But then a day disappeared on me somewhere between then and now and here I am on MAY 1st.  Can you believe it is May already?!?   Happy May Day!

I will keep this one short and sweet.  (I have a busy month planned for me....er...you and it starts tomorrow!)
 


~~~

I make resolutions.  I try to routinely check my progress.

So here is last months' rundown.

Family Read Aloud(s)-one is the goal: Silver Chair and Tales of the Kingdom

House Project(s) of the Month-one is the goal: Planted Filbert Trees given to us by some friends, made clothesline (MATT), prepared garden plot, Wallpapered bathroom (!!!)

 Letter-writing: 8 total, 3 to my Opa (one letter from Corynn is in there)

Exercise:  24 times (Toward the middle of the month I started doubling up out of sheer desperation for some sort of change.)

Reading Bible: I was in the Word twice daily all month, but never just for myself.  I am becoming okay with that, I think. 

Drank 60 ounces of water:  20 times

Christmas Gift Made:  FAIL.

Money to Car Fund: yes

Money to Savings: yes

Money toward Principle on House: Made a double payment.

Overall, it was a pretty great month!

  5. Way to go! My hubby and I always talk about making double payments on our mortgage but it NEVER happens! We really must remedy that!

    Looking forward to OUR busy month! :)

  7. Bonnie~ busy reading, that is. I have many a list written for your viewing pleasure (or DISDAIN.)

    Catie~ I was hoping to do a QUADRUPLE mortgage payment this month but it didn't happen. (Tax refund and all.) Maybe next.

    Rebecca~ your comment made me laugh. Thanks! (I think.) Actually, the truth is-I was sick of not having taken any 'good' pictures lately (as in---MONTHS!) so I went outside camera in hand, ready to get up close and personal with nature. When you get on the ground looking for bugs---they all of the sudden come out of the woodwork. You just need to get on your hands and knees. You don't even need to travel! ;-)

    We are in the middle of Tales of the Kingdom right now with my three little ones. It is such a great book. A friend let us borrow it and I'm thinking of adding it to our home library.

    Keep up the great work with your goals!!
