First update!

I figured it was time to report on my progress for this year's goals. Here goes:

1. Read 6 Books: 3 down, 3 to go. Unfortunately, all of my reading has been for the benefit of my school (and of course me), but my 4th book is a book for fun so hopefully I'll work a few more in like that. The books I've read so far are: "How to Connect with Donors and Double the Money You Raise" by Thomas Wolf; "The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity" by Edwene Gaines; "Brains on Fire: Igniting Powerful, Sustainable, Word of Mouth Movements" by Phillips, Cordell, Church and Jones.

2. Visit Sarah in NC: I took a long weekend in February during February vacaiton week and went to visit Sarah who moved to Charlotte in October. We had a fabulous time together! It was so nice and warm - what a nice escape from a cold and snowy winter! Here are some pictures:


3. Paint my Bedroom: Over Christmas I bought a new bedspread - it's various shades of purple. The problem was that my bedroom walls were blue. So I decided to paint my bedroom a more neutral color to match my bedspread over April vacation. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the before, but here is a picture of the after:


10. Take a Weekend Get-Away: This wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but it actually does count....I went to my 10 year reunion at Lawrence University this month. It was sooo amazing! I had such a great time! There weren't as many people from my class as I thought there would be, but I had a great time with the ones that did come and I made some new friends too. My flute professor retired this year, so we had a big celebration for her that weekend as well. I love Lawrence! Here are some pics from the weekend:


I'm pretty sure that is all I have done so far. More to come! :)
