Goals for 2021



I've really been enjoying these nice, leisurely mornings yesterday and today, and I still have one more before going back to work.


Yesterday we took down all the Christmas stuff and today we are going to work on re-hanging a bunch of pictures that still haven't been put back up since the painting was done.

But now, time for some goals for the year.

1.  Lose weight.  I'm still trying to decide if I want to give KETO another try or just focus on eating mostly healthy.  This time last year I started KETO and it went really well for 2 months.  I lost 17.4 but then the girls' birthday weekend threw me off, followed by working from home and I never recovered.

2.  I mentioned this yesterday, but read most of the Bible (and finish in 2022).  I've always wanted to do that "Read the Bible in a Year" thing, but I know I realistically won't be able to keep up all year, so if I can read maybe 3/4 and then finish in 2022 I'm good with that.  I downloaded an app, I think it's just called "Bible in a Year" and it includes commentary and a prayer each day.  And today's had a theme, New Year's Resolutions/Fresh Start/News Beginnings, so the verses were relevant to that (so it jumps around, you don't just start in Genesis and read straight through to Revelations, although today's did include the first chapter of Genesis).

3.  Start hiking more.  Olivia won't hike with us and is just now getting to the point where she's ok with being home alone for long enough for Paul and I to hike without her so I'm hoping this will be the year I can finally start hiking more.

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.

5.  Blog more.  Last year was my worst blogging year yet.  I only posted 15 times all year.  I'm going to try and post that much in January alone.  

Other than that, I have some fun day trips I'd like to do, and I'm really hoping we can make it to Branson, MO and Hawaii this summer like we were supposed to last year.

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}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

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
