Goals!

Since my birthday I have been thinking a lot about this last year in my twenties! I know I said I didn't have a problem on my birthday but apparently it caught up to me...Anyway, there are a few things I came up with that I think I would like to do before my 30th birthday...

*Fondant! I want to learn how to decorate a cake in fondant! Doesn't that sound like fun? It does to me!

*I want to run a half marathon! That's 13.1 miles! I want to run it...RUN the whole thing! I am up to 6 miles now...well I was...but now I have shin splints so we'll work through that and I'll get there! I however don't want to sign up for any race & run it there. Just me & a watch & 13.1 miles!

*Baby?...maybe...I have ALWAYS wanted 5 kids and I have ALWAYS wanted to be done before I was 30...but that might interfere with my running goal so we'll see about that. I might need to stretch that one out a little because one thing I have learned being a mom is I need to not forget about myself which means I can do a couple other things before another baby who takes all my time comes.

*Catch up on some scrapbooking...I get a little overwhelmed with this one! I haven't even scrapped one picture of Ryan...how sad is that! That's why I say SOME scrapbooking & not all. I don't think I could do that in a year...unless my family didn't need me!!

*Have a nice weeded garden this summer. We plant a garden every year and by harvesting time we are always we are pulling the veggies out from among the weeds. They're still just as tasty but it's not fun to look at!

*And last...lose those last 15 baby pounds!! They just won't come off! And really I HAVE been trying...another goal having a baby would interfere with...but I think I would be a better pregnant mom and wife if I felt good before I got there!

So that's it for now! I'll let you know how it goes throughout the next year!

Those are awesome goals! I think you should run an half marathon! You definetely could do it! You should run in a race though, you will run better and faster and it is alot funner with others around you do the same! There is a nice and fun half marathon that is not hilly and mostly downhill it is fun. Problem is that it is on Saturday, so next year for sure!! But do some 10K races, they are only 6.1 miles and fun too!
