SG#13

13. As always, try to become more domesticated! ;)

This one is still a work in progress! 

SG#11

12. Visit the "Twister" House, where they filmed the final scene of the movie.  (Little known fun fact - our old house in Story City, a beautiful Victorian, was considered for this scene, but did not make the "cut" as it was too close to a gravel road).



Nope, didn't do.  Actually was talking with a couple from the area who said it wasn't anything special to see...so that makes me feel a little bit better.

SG#10

11. Garage sale it up!



This is something that I ADORE to do with my B-E-A-U-tiful Ma and sisters.  This year I got to go to the Midwest's Largest Flea Market, 2 city-wide garage sale days, as well as some neighborhood ones.  It's always a joy to find something you least expect! :)

Me and some stellar ladies snagging deals at the flea market!

10. Watch a movie at a drive-in movie theatre.


Shame!  Didn't do this one either...get at me boyfriend! ;)

SG#9

9.  Continue to learn Spanish con mis amigos Anna y Cesar!


Considering I have not seen Anna or Cesar this summer, I failed on this one.  But still want to learn this language so badly!

SG#8

8. Go blonde!

And yes Boppa, blondes do have more fun! ;)

SG#7

7.  Start rollerblading!


With my blades I ordered online for a heck of deal, I am now an "accomplished" blader!  Okay, not really, but my blading partner Carley sure is! ;)

SG#5

5. Learn to play this duet with sister (complete with dance moves and all ;)

Well, this one didn't come true, BUT we will be learning another fun 4-hand duet that our Aunt Holly found us!  Maybe I'll even post a video after we learn it! :)

Until we learn it, you can be "entertained" by this video.

SG#4 & 6

4. Run the BIX in Davenport, Iowa.  I've heard this race is so fun...but I might be on vacation during this...

It's true, I did end up going on vacation during this time so I didn't get to run it...maybe next year though!  And this transitions nicely to my SG#6:

6.  Go on vacation somewhere warm!

Here's are a few pictures from our week full of boating, lounging, skiing, boarding, and being! :)




Here's the group -what FUN!

 


The boys sung to us at karaoke and even gave us flowers! :)



Purely divine!

 

SG#3

3. Complete my first 1/2 marathon by running the Dam2Dam.


I had 3 goals for this race.  They were:


1. Never walk.
2. Finish in 2 hours or less.
3. Average under a 10 minute mile.


I can successfully say I accomplished 2 of the 3.


What made this race fun was that Vanessa, Carly and myself had no intention of running together.  Van kept a good pace and we were all able to talk, laugh, and encourage each other the whole way!

SG#2

2. Accomplish FPU's/Dave Ramsey's baby steps.

DONE! :)

SG#1

Summer 2001 Goal #1 was:

1. BECOME DEBT-FREE!!!! I absolutely cannot wait for this day! :)

...and as of May 13, 2011: ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!!!!!

Although I did not get a picture from that day, I do have one of me being excited!  Vanessa (my roomie) even took me out for dinner that night to celebrate - thanks Van! 

Psalm 118:1 "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."
