Deployment Bucket List

Everyone should have goals... even an army wife in a deployment. So here is the list of things I want to do while William is gone...

For me:

• Lose the baby weight
• Run a half marathon (or two or three)
• During the summer meet up with other people at least twice a week (failure), during the school year at least once a week
• Read a book each month (June: Divergent, July: Insurgent, Matched, August and Septmeber: none)
• Blog here twice a week 
• Become active at church

For William:

• Blog on Levi's blog everyday... including a picture
• Send him a care package every other week once he is in country
• Get my school involved in sending mail to his team

For Levi:

• Schedule a play date with a friend at least once a month
• Get the playroom in order for him
• Plan an awesome first birthday party
• Make Daddy a part of every single day
• Be a good boy mom
• Make Levi's baby food

Getting Creative:

• Get better at sewing (maybe take another class)
• Make a pinterest project once a month
• Make a yellow ribbon wreath for the door
• Start a meal exchange with Jonna
• Learn to cook 20 good meals

For the House:

• Hire electrician to fix plugs and light fixtures
• Hire contractor to put in french doors in the living room and kitchen and close in door in bathroom.  
• Get the play room in order for Levi
• Get a slipcover for the couch in Master bedroom
• Get flower beds in better order (and get a load of dirt to put on them)
• Get the trees trimmed
• Decorate rooms and fill up picture frames

For our Future:

• Pay off college loans by September 2012 (our little stint with FMLA pushed this back from May)
• Reorganize filing cabinet
• Establish the "new car" fund
• Pay an extra payment toward our mortgage principle
