July to September 2015 Goals

This summer was such a busy summer with a lot of technical problems, such as my laptop. So, I never got to do a recap of my July goals nor introduce my August goals.

July's goal was to Explore My City.

Sub Goals:

- Go to the library at least twice.

We went once, but got a lot of books that Rhys really enjoyed. Even Justin got a book!

- Have a picnic twice, in different locations.

We never had any picnics.

- Visit one new place (aquarium, park, museum, local restaurant, historic site, splash pad) per week.

We did go to a few local restaurants and the splash pad, but didn't do a lot--mainly becuase we just didn't have the funds.

- Visit the Community building and try to get involved

This was a definite bust!

- Go to Bear Lake for the Morrell Family Reunion!!

Going to Bear Lake was the best thing this summer! It was so fun and I want to go back!

Although I didn't really hit the goal in the ways I intended, I still feel that I achieved it. Rhys and I went running quite a bit and biking, and always took different routes. We also spent a lot of time in the park in our backyard. I also took a few de-stressing drives around the city in places I had never been before. 

August's goal was to Strengthen My Family:

Sub Goals:

- Plan a small anniversary

Check! We had my parents watch Rhys for two days while we went out to Texas Roadhouse and watched Jurassic World and slept in.

- A date a week (doesn't have to be spending money)

This didn't really happen. But, we did spend time together watching shows or playing games.

- Visit the temple once with Justin

Sadly, this didn't happen. But we need to!

- Have sibling dates

I had lunch with my brother, but didn't do anything with my sisters.

- Have deep and honest conversations with my other relatives

This didn't really happen.

- Do learning games/adventures/activities with Rhys every day

Rhys and I have spent a lot of intentional time together. We read a lot of books, played a lot of one-on-one games. We had dance parties, explored the creek in our park, and learned a few body parts.

I kind of did really crappy with my August goals and to be honest, wasn't the best wife. I was pretty lazy as wife and not equally yoked to my husband. I have to really be intentional and work on that.

September--Work from Home

Since I won't be teaching after the first week of June, I still want to help earn some sort of an income--some play/date money for the family. I want to get into tutoring or small online transcription/free-lance jobs. I also want to start selling something--maybe Scentsy. I think since I will have time, also learn more about and sign up for blogging campaigns and affiliate programs.

Sub Goals:

- Find a sell-from-home job and learn all there is about it

- Find work-at-home freelancing or transcription jobs

- Join blogging campaign sites and participate in campaigns

- Join affiliate sites and learn all there is to it
- Learn more about couponing and money-saving skills

This is actually a pretty important goal as I don't have anymore teacher income. Justin and I are a little nervous about being able to afford the rent of our townhome on just his income. So, wish us luck!
