February goal recap

What good is it to set goals unless you check up and see how you did!  In case you missed the full list of my February goals, you can check them out here.

So how did we do?

Read  1 chapter of Proverbs each day - complete!

 Start Beth Moore Bible Study - complete fail!  I simply have to carve out more quiet time and focus on things other than things around the house. 

Clean out closets - complete, technically, but not to my satisfaction. I'm on a serious nesting purge...the kind where you hate looking at any closet in your house and just want to call in a dumpster.  The Army pushed back the date of releasing the promotion list until next week.  Given the current state of the military and funding, the likelihood of promoting below the zone is slim and we know that.  As long as moving houses is a possibility though, I feel stuck.  We were offered a 4 bedroom house this week, but not in the neighborhood we want.  Depending on what happens next Wednesday, we will look into whether we stay here or take a 4 bedroom without a garage.

 8 blog posts - 6 if you count the 2 I actually published on March 1st.  

Facebook less - I'm not going to lie, I haven't done well with this.  However, in cleaning out closets, I have posted a lot of things to sell on the West Point flea market and that has required more FB time than normal.  

Dinner earlier - 50/50.  Chad was not home for dinner about 17 nights in February.  Dinner is not as regimented when he's gone.  

 Better food prepping schedule - again, about 50/50

Scrapbook - fail.  The days that I had this scheduled turned into busy days and pulling all of that out just wasn't happening.  I need a scrapbook accountability partner!

3 Family Fun nights - We had 2! Not so bad given how many nights Chad is not home!  Ok, we did one without him, but it still counts.  

Date night - complete!  We went out for dinner on Valentines!


Two things I have learned - kids, pregnancy and your husband's schedule can throw off the best laid plans in a heartbeat.  I need to actually print out or write down my goals to see the each day.  Here's to a better March!

Strength

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...

Change of Command

Here are a few pictures from Chad's Change of Command Ceremony. I hope to get more pictures from the official photographer that day. I didn't get any pictures of myself and my White House Black Market dress! :) The Food... Chad and I aren't huge fans of cake, so we got a cookie cake instead from a local bakery. I wish I had taken a picture of the entire table, but I only at time for a few pictures. Everyone was pretty impressed with the spread. My mom taught me how to prepare lots and lots of food and how to make it tasty! Addison kept snagging food before the ceremony started! C-Troop Taking Command! So proud of Chad! We look forward to serving with the Outcast family!

Lake Placid

Over Columbus Day, we decided to take advantage of the time for one more family trip before the deployment. Lake Placid has been on our list of places we wanted to go and we chose to wait until the fall to enjoy seeing all the leaves changing in the Adirondacks. The leaves were a little past peak, but it was still beautiful.  To understand how much we enjoyed this trip, you have to understand how much we enjoy the Olympics.  Let's just say we are Olympic fanatics...the Atwells would understand. :)  On our way in to town, we stopped had lunch at a recommended BBQ place. That afternoon, we only had time to go to one venue before they closed for the day.  If you don't know the history, Lake Placid hosted the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980 and is still a site for Olympic training.  First stop - Bobsled, Combination Track   You can pay to ride down the 1932 bobsled course.  It looked fun! After the Bobsled track, we headed back to the hotel and ...
