Goals for 2010 - Update #3

So, I wanted to update my 2010 [and beyond] goals...this will be the last update for this list. I wasn't successfully in everything, but did accomplish a lot. Here is my list again with my comments in red (or where I've blogged about it the link is blue):

• Read through the whole Bible
• Get certified to foster again - we are working on this now, but it is on the back burner again while we are trying to sell our house
• Begin the adoption process
• Print black and white photos and get them framed for my b&w project - this is on hold until we sell our house (it's not wise to put more holes in the wall to hang pictures when we'll just have to take them down before we put the house on the market).
• Eat something I’ve never tried before - COMPLETED - Quinoa
• Build a snowman - COMPLETED on 2/12 [my birthday] when it snowed about an inch at our house
• Go visit Angie in Denver - this is scheduled for the end of January 2011!

• Plant a garden - COMPLETED - Summer 2010
• Do some canning with the vegetables grown in my garden
• Be successful with a compost pile
• Send thank you notes for things I wouldn’t normally send them for - worked on this in 2010
• Get better at sewing - I sewed more in 2010, not sure I'm actually better
