Holy smokes its June. I LOVE the month of June, because every time someone says the month, I get to hear my daughter's name and it just makes my day.
We have been busy. Very busy. Non stop swirl around your brain, kick you in the crotch kind of busy! I feel like June has spent the last month of her life in her car seat. Poor thing. Things aren't going to slow down anytime soon. Summer is upon us my friend and I am so excited for the many trips we have planned and getting to go to Idaho a couple times, one of those for the annual Triathlon!
Since we are already half way done with this year I thought I would give a little checkpoint to where I am with my new years resolutions. Ya that's right I am keeping them this year!
What my new years resolutions are:
Be in a house before June's first Birthday CHECK!
As you probably know we are in our house! In Love once again. We are still living at two different places, but we are sleeping at the house, and just getting the last odds and ends out of the apartment, which I pray will be the last shared wall experience I will ever have to encounter!
Read through the Book of Mormon PROGRESS...
We are reading the Book of Mormon together, and well we miss nights, and sometimes we both fall asleep while reading, but we are trying and it's actually been going pretty well.
Hit my pre- Dan weight. CHECK!
I look back at those pictures of when Dan and I were dating (5 years ago) I looked so tiny. I can't believe I ever complained about my weight back then... I have matured and my face,I feel,will never look that young again, but I can successfully say I have lost all my pregnancy weight, and I am proud to say that I went down 2 Jean sizes and I am keeping it off! Of course I still have the blob! My love handles will NEVER disappear.
Be more consistent with Family Home Evening FAILURE!
Oh man we really struggle with FHE. Unless we do it with friends it seems to slip away from us. We do try when we remember, It's one of those things we want so badly in our home, and we are hoping that with our attempted tries it will happen.
Experiment more with different foods and make a new meal once a week PROGRESS...
Enjoying being in my new kitchen, and trying different foods. I have even thrown fish into the mix. I feel like my cooking skills are minimal at best, but it's a working progress.
Read more CHECK!
I make sure to always have a book to read, and of course I read with June every single day. I have finished some great series including "The Great and Terrible" and I am on the fifth book of "Fablehaven" I love series. It just means I always know what book to grab next. So if any of you have a good series let me know!
Take more photos and videos of June DOUBLE CHECK!
With I phones, a point and shoot camera, and my SLR I always have a camera at hand. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't snap some sort of video or picture of June, mostly to send to Dan at work, but also for the keep sake of how fast she is growing.
Play the guitar together a lot more FAILURE!
Oh man, we haven't picked up our guitars in over a month. In fact they are still at our apartment, but maybe once we really get all settled in the house we will pick it up again. Dan used to play for June all the time, and I miss that music in our home. Im hoping it starts back up again really soon.
Eat the blizzard of the month every month CHECK!
Of course we are reaching this new years resolution. How could we fail this one? There have been some delicious blizzards in the past six months and some major busts, but good all the same.
Well That's where we are at. I feel pretty good about the progress in this year. I'm sure failure will be written a lot more by the time we are done, but hey we are working and doing our best, and kicking some serious new years resolutions trash!
