Goodbye 20's

Hello 30!  Yes, today is officially my birthday.  Not just any old birthday.  It's my 30th. 

What did I get?

This beautiful lamp for our living room!

The Parson's desk got a new buddy! 

I desperately needed this filing cabinet!

Oh, and I won $5 from this scratch off!  I never win from them!

There were other gifts like gift cards, Dairy Queen ice cream cake, and an awesome dinner at one of my favorite Polish restuarants.

All in all, I had a great birthday!

Remember the goals I sent at the beginning of the month.  Well, those did not go so well.  Kidney Stones took up two weeks of my birthday month.  So, needless to say, not a whole lot was accomplished.  But, I would still like to reflect:

1.) Organize our basement

Well, I would say we have gotten a GREAT start at this!

This area was so packed with junk before!  Unfortunately, with moving things, we discovered a couple problems that need to be addressed, such as cracks in the walls and condensation under the floor tiles.  They are pretty easy fixes, thank god. 

We even picked out a paint color!

2.) Be able to run a 2 miles without stopping

Well, no running was able to take place because of the stones.  So I had to take the month off.

3.) Lose 10lbs

How discouraging is this...I gained 12lbs after being in the hospital for two days.  It was from all the IV fluids at the hospital.  But I went back to my regular weight a week later.

4.) Have a garage sale

This one I did accomplish!!  We even sold a couple items on Craigslist!  We didn't make a ton of money, but the important part is we got rid of a lot of our clutter and made some people happy.

5.) Start my own Etsy shop.

Of course, I had no time to devote to this.  I would like to extend this into the summer to take my time on it and make sure I am putting my best work out there.

 

Well, there you have it!  I am happy with what I was able to do in a short period of time and looking forward to working on the goals I was not able to do throughout the summer.

Happy Birthday to me!
