Goal Review

The year is about 1/4 over so it's time to see how I'm doing on my goals for the year.

1.  Lose weight.  As of a few days ago I was down 9 pounds.  I've been doing Intermittent Fasting off and on but have come to the conclusion that it is kind of pointless, because you still have to limit your daily calorie intake, and as long as I'm doing that it doesn't matter how late I eat or whether or not I go 16 hours without eating. I can get the same results eating "normally" as long as I'm restricting my calories.  It was good for keeping me from snacking in the evening while I watch TV, though.  So I may still do it from time to time.  In fact, I am going to restart tonight/tomorrow.

2.  Read most of the Bible (and finish in 2022).  I use the app "Bible in One Year" and proud to say I've been consistent and on pace to actually finish this year and not have to go into next year.  I occasionally get behind a day or two (or three) but I always catch back up.


3.  Start hiking more.  Waiting for later spring or summer and better weather.



4.  Read more. My reading really took a dive last year thanks to my addiction to a few different mobile games (Township and Match 3D).  So this year I want to ramp that up.  I did great in January and February but kind of fell off in March.  I am starting to get back on track, though.

5.  Blog more.  Check.  I only posted 15 times all of last year and so far this year I've posted around 30.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
