hopes & plans

After taking some time away from this blog (not really planned...but life happens), it's time to get back into the swing of things.  So to start off, I'm joining Amanda for her weekly blog linkup called "hopes & plans".

Alex in the corn at Sever's Corn Maze

Since it's been a few weeks, I'm just going to start with a fresh game plan...but here is what I hope to get accomplished this week...

one :: hair cuts for the boys :: Evan has school pictures at the end of the week and Alex's hair is out of control, so tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to see if I can get some appointments made to have their hair cut tomorrow, if not before Friday.

two :: purchase a jogging stroller ::  I have been waiting to buy one F.O.R.E.V.E.R. and it's time since I want to get serious about running.  I can't always fit in a run before I need to get the boys from daycare, and my little stroller isn't going to cut it.  I don't necessarily need a BOB jogging stroller (and I don't really want to spend a good $500 on a stroller either) but I need to find one that will last a while.

three :: run/walk 20 miles ::  Since I'm hoping to get into running...it's time to set goals...

four :: patch evan's jeans :: Evan is total boy, this means that he goes through the knees in his jeans quickly, and since I don't want to buy new jeans every other week, I need to patch them.  

five :: make it to JoAnn's :: I have a few DIY projects planned for this blog and for my home, but it means that I need to squeeze in a run to JoAnn's.  

six :: start the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University DVDs :: My father bought us the at home kit since trying to make it to a class was out of the question with our crazy schedule.  We are trying to get ourselves financially secure and to a place where we can buy our first (and hopefully forever) home in the next 5 years or less.

seven :: work on my 30 by 30 list ::  Next July I turn 30...eep!  and I really want to make this next year count.  I'm giving myself until Labor Day 2015 to finish the list...but first I need to make it!  Any ideas?

eight :: lose 3 pounds ::  One of the biggest things on my 30 by 30 list is to finally lose the baby weight and be in the best shape of my life by the time I turn 30.  While I'm not quite ready to completely lay out my weight loss plan, I do want to start it off by losing 3 pounds this week.

Wow!  It's quite the list, but it's a good list.  Here's hoping I can get it all done!  What are you up to this week?
