10. Get caught up on digital scrapbooking

I don’t think you can ever be caught up on scrapbooking as long you are still taking pictures, but I would like to be working on pictures from the year we are actually living in.

Recently I switched over to digital scrapbooking and I love it. It still takes me just as long, but without the mess. I just got my first book printed to give to Jared for his birthday. It was a book dedicated to our dating months. I think it turned out great, however we dated in 2008 so I am 2 years behind plus a baby book to do. I have a long road ahead.

Here is a little preview of how the book turned out:

77. Take a picture of Luke everyday for 1 month

I started doing this when Luke turned 6 months. Today Luke is 7 months old. It has been fun taking a picture of him everyday.

Here is the picture from day one:

Here is the picture from today:

He has quite the personality. Here are some of my favorite throughout the month:

I am going to try and continue to take lots of pictures of Luke. I love going back and looking at them. I have slacked off on taking video of him though so now I need to catch up on that!

22. Get stomach looking like it was pre-baby

Yesterday I had a Dr.’s appointment and they had to check my weight. I was happy to see that I am officially back down to the weight I was before I was pregnant. Hooray!!

Sorry no pictures will be taken of my stomach :)

33. Save more than I spend at the grocery store

Grocery Bill: $10.31

Coupons: $5.62

Spent: $4.69

I know this wasn’t a big shopping trip by any means, but I still made my goal. It was cool to see the price as $10.31 then have the cashier say “ok, your total is $4.69”. I wish I could cut my bill in half when I go buy groceries for the month. I still haven’t even come close to cutting that bill by half, so this might be my only victory on this one.

Let me know if any of you have been able to do this goal with a big shopping trip.

92. Send 5 people "Just Because" cards

These will be in the mail tomorrow.

Check your mailbox to see if one is for you!

44. Invite friends over for a night of fondue

No, we didn’t invite friends over for fondue, but I did make it.

Just need to make sure it is good before inviting anyone over, right?

Next time I will make a chocolate fondue also.

Let me know if you want an invite.

31. Hike the Y

In preparation for the “big hike”, Jared and I hiked the “G” this last Saturday.

To be quite honest, it was a little steep and gave me a pretty good work out.

It made me realize I am in terrible shape.

25. Go to a concert of an artist/band I've never seen

We had tickets to go to the U2 concert tomorrow night.

It was postponed until next year because of Bono having emergency back surgery.

Suck it up Bono for the sake of my goal!

Ok, not really.

It is a bummer though. I was super excited to go.

We do have tickets to 4 more concerts throughout the summer, 3 of which are artists I have never seen, so I am sure I will complete my goal.

You are off the hook, Bono. 

4. Read 5 books from the Time's list of 100 greatest novels

I decided to read this book as my second book for this goal. I read about 2 pages and just knew this was not my cup of tea. I don’t like to think too hard when I am reading, always trying to figure out what they are talking about, no thanks. I returned it to the library and will be on a search for a book that is more up my alley. Wish me luck!
