Ok, I feel like a big loser because a lot has been going on lately but do I have any pictures of any of it??? Nope. Not a one. This is exactly why I've never entertained the idea of getting some super nice camera. I wouldn't use it. Ever. Oh well, hopefully my writing is full of entertainment and inspiration so people will keep reading it. Oh so where to begin??
My birthday/ anniversary were last week. We had a great time! We went to a local restaurant here called Ellerbe's. It was originally a gas station but they redid everything inside and it now it's modern and really beautiful inside. The food is amazing. The chef goes to the farmer's markets and also connects with local farmers to buy a lot of the food there. She changes the menu according to what is in season. Also, the wine selection is very unique because it is from mostly local wineries. One of "my mom's" gave us a gift card for Ellerbe's so we got to splurge a little more. On Friday night, we went to Dallas and stayed at the Hyatt that is right beside Reunion Tower. It was so pretty. We stayed up on the 16th floor and had a big window to out to all of downtown Dallas. I would definitely recommend staying there if you are visiting Dallas. Saturday we went to Cafe Brazil (YUMMY!!) and then went to the Dallas Farmer's Market. It was really big and nice but the only thing to me was that it wasn't all local. So we tried to be careful and only buy from the locals.
Back in October of last year, I made a few goals. I have pretty much reposted them here with updates of how I am doing on them.
1. Take a knitting class......Check! I just knitted my first scarf!
2. Go camping (like tent, sleeping bag, etc. kind of camping).....Check! We did this over spring break!!
3. Blog at least once a month.....Check...well, kind of I think I missed on month.
4. Pay off a student loan....Check...Actually we are dangerously close to having all my student loans paid off! Whoop!!
5. Train for a half marathon...ok, not so much...I can come with excuses but fact is I didn't do it. :( Oh well, I am still exercising so that's the most important thing.
6. Have my wedding pictures made into an album... In progress! I am currently working on one.
7. Volunteer at the Humane Society...Nope. I need to volunteer for something. I just haven't yet.
8. Get re-certified in CPR....Decided not to do this one. I know how to do CPR. And the class really isn't that helpful. especially when you remember how to do it.
9. Take a dog training course with Cherry...I originally wanted to do this because I thought I might be able to take Cherry to a hospital/nursing home but she has proved to me that that is not a good idea. She is a bit tempermental.
10. Make an apron....Haha! I bought one. Oh well!
11. Maintain my current weight or lose another 2-3 pounds....Check! Yay!! I have maintained my weight and Clint and I continue to try to make healthier choices.
12. Take a multivitamin everyday....Getting better. I still don't do it like I should but I am taking it more often.
13. Finish decorating my room and the guest room...Check! I'm pretty much done. There are a few things I would like to do but they take money to do those. For me, I did it and anything else I do is just a bonus.
Whew!! So, there you go! I would say I'm doing okay. Maybe in a month or two I will set a few more goals.
I always forget to take pictures! I'm trying to be better about it (in fact, that's one of my goals for this year).
ReplyDeleteGood job on accomplishing so many of your goals. Glad you had a great birthday and anniversary!
