Some 2009 Goals

So, last year I posted some silly goals that I had set for 2008, most of them I accomplished... there were a few like "seeing a broadway play in NY" that didn't happen and will just have to wait a little bit! So a lot has changed in one year since I began this blog and set goals for the year. Dad moved me to another country, I have an amazing boyfriend who has stuck with me and encouraged me through this journey, I have a new sweet baby niece Makenzie, and our whole family has grown quite a bit! It's been a good year and I know Dad has been honored throughout the highs and lows of the year! 

So, as I was pondering what 2009 was going to look like, I began to wonder what goals I would set for this year.... Some are silly and some are serious, but above all I just want Dad to be honored in my life and in my relationships! 

So, without further due.... here are my 2009 Goals: 

1. to laugh at least once a day! You have to here or you'll go crazy!

2. to eat a beignet every time I go to the medina

3. to try a new recipe at least once a week

4. to smile at at least one woman every day on the street. These women never smile... gesh! 

5. to visit three other countries this year

6. to call my family once a week

7. to play one crossword game each week (i have to work on my english too!)

8. to learn at least one new Arabic word each day, I'll still never learn it all....

9. to send out an update either on my blog or email at least once a week

10. to eat at Pizza Hut at least once a month! 

So, those are just a few of the things I'm looking forward to each day, week, month, and throughout the year. I have a few more serious ones that I'll keep to myself but as I learn and experience this new place, I want to grow and be stretched in new ways that will make me look more like my Father!
