  • Run/walk 300 miles during 2011.
  • Wear out my first pair of running shoes!
  • Learn rotary breathing so I can swim without drowning.

      Mary,

      Love seeing your list…I added a couple of things to my list because of yours….
      As far as transcripts go…do you have a form already made up…if so, is there anyway you can email me a copy…I added this to my list because I saw it on yours…I keep putting it off because I don’t want to have to figure out all the proper formatting…
      Also, if you speak at homeschool conferences, how could we go about hearing you at one in the Seattle area? Watch or Christian Heritage are the two I like to go to…I know the people who plan WATCH too….Bill and Diana Waring…that one is usually in August….are you looking to add any?
      C~

      I plan to paint the bathroom, find time for romance with my sweetheart, and let my girls know that the world is a beautiful, magical place and they can live the dream they have in their hearts.

      I also want to find some bargains on photo albums, and have more people over for dinner!

      I’m currently working on my list also and love the idea of just reading through the Old Testament in a year! For the past couple of years my goal has been to read through the Bible but I’ve fallen short and felt horrible about it. I almost made it through the whole Old Testament in 2010 and feel like I could’ve gotten it done had I not let the new baby distract me in Nov/Dec, LOL. Definitely something that’s back on the list and a goal that will be completed in 2011!
