Half Way Point...

So...we are halfway through 2013.  Well, more than that but it's going by way too fast.  I'll stick with just halfway!
I set some goals back in January and I want to check in on them.  Honestly, I can't remember some of them, so I don't think I'm doing very well.  This is the check in/check up that I need right now!

• figure out what to do for work, make sure I will LOVE it!
• Until yesterday, I was sure I was done this.  Then I saw a job posting and now I'm rethinking everything.  Unless I can make the two work together...
• sell the little yellow house.  Bittersweet...
• Little yellow house (which is actually green) is currently occupied by two great renters who are expecting a baby!  We are going through sales discussions with them, trying to figure out how to make this work for all of us.  House will either go up for sale in October OR rent will have to take a significant jump.  We are on the fence, we love these renters!
• more meet ups/tweet ups/playdates with amazing women and their kids!
• So far, fail here.  But I still have 6 months to go.  And the rest of summer...
• unplug more often, be more present especially with family.
• Yes, and no.  Sometime I can do it, other times not so much.  
• celebrate babies!  MOAR babies, as MagzD would say. 
• Seriously folks.  42 babies that I know of are scheduled to be born in 2013.  42!!!  What is in the water, and boy am I glad that I didn't drink it!  27 have made their entrance so far.  One sweet baby girl grew her angel wings and has left us already, but she will never be forgotten... <3
• celebrate 10 years of US - with the family and without... ;)
• Our anniversary came and we had a great date night.  I was absolutely shocked to receive a gift...containing diamonds, sapphires, amethyst and more!  I am usually the one who does surprises, so this caught me off guard completely.  This goal is half completed - due to still breastfeeding Mini-D we were not able to get away for alone time.  This is being bumped to a 2014 goal - and I have a secret plan of my own to get away and enjoy JUST each other!
• make that number on the scale a little lower...
• Not happening.  It goes up and comes down.  Then I stop jumping on the scale.  I have contacted a trainer to start a program and am looking into a few options.  Also looking into some circus classes to reconnect with my former gymnast/dance self for the fall.  
• plan a #kickass2014 New Years Eve par-taaaay!
• THIS IS IN THE WORKS!  Planning is happening, lots of pinning on Pinterest, and yes, it will happen!  Hoping for awesome weather to incorporate some outside fun into my plans too!
• go to church a little more.  
• So far, nope.  Not even once.  Maybe in the fall when we get into a regular routine?  We are away so many weekends this summer.  That doesn't account for the previous 6 months.  I am completely making excuses, probably because I don't want to go back to the church we were going to before, and church hunting is NOT fun.  Plus, we have to do it with kids now.  I need to bump this up in priority I think!
• spend some quality time with my sister who lives far away.  Too far...
• HAPPENING and I couldn't be more excited!  I can't take any credit for this at all - she is planning a trip out here in just over a month.  I am focusing on the QUALITY part of this goal.  I want her to be super involved with the kids (her only niece/nephew) and feel like she doesn't live so far away.  Still waiting on dates from her so we can plan this time to it's fullest!!
• get our amazing back yard landscaped.
• This is going to be a fail, but not our fault at all.  Our builders have yet to get approval for our rough grade, so we can't touch landscaping at all.  Very, very disappointed in this, as we have a gorgeous space that we can't use at all.  Except weed picking.  Which was not a goal at all.  :(
• grow my already awesome business even more!
• I just returned from an amazing business conference and this is also happening.  A little differently than originally planned as my eyes have been opened and my direction/vision has shifted.  I do so much more than sell clothes.  Watch for future updates on this!
• do something that is WAY outside my comfort zone.  Yet to be determined...
• COMPLETED!  In a way I never imagined.  I am still processing this, it will get the focus of one entire post!

There you have it!  Updated goals for 2013!  I still have a long, long, long way to go but checking just a couple of them off feels great.  Changing up the ones that aren't working and being okay with the ones that simply won't happen this year is sitting okay as well.  If you set goals for 2013 how are you doing with them?  I would love to hear!
