Goals Update: November

My husband and I took time to make goals for ourselves for 2013. We tried to be specific and will hold ourselves to these goals. After three months, we have begun 11 out of the 13 goals, with 5 fully accomplished!


  1. Plan a vacation for just the two of us. Save to pay for it up front! - no plans made yet, but savings are building
  2. Pay off 100% of student loans!
  3. Save and buy a "new" vehicle - $3,784.50 saved as of June 30, 2013
  4. Save 100% of emergency fund!
  5. Get basement and garage ORGANIZED!
  6. Floor the attic (more storage) - still haven't thought about this at all, too far down on the list to do anything -- thinking this might not be accomplished this year...
  7. Bret to purchase the firearm of his choice
  8. Organize a Legacy Drawer  - About 90% completed! Still need to write legacy letters & think of funeral plan
  9. Make wills for each of us
  10. Build a 72-Hour emergency kit (here and here) --> haven't even started this, slackers! I'd like to start this before school starts in August
  11. Be intentional about finding opportunities to give to others --> I have tried to find opportunities for random acts of kindness
  12. Plan our meals by the week - so far, so good! We do this on Sunday night for the following week
  13. Keep communication open and loving between us --> We have been trying to pray together at least once a day
