2019 Goals Status Update #1

Here are some goal updates... even though we've already covered reading:

1. Blog 3x a week - Not entirely successful but not entirely unsuccessful either so ?
2. Learn to bake good bread that I can eat from scratch. - None on this one, but I baked a lot in January.
3. Learn about keeping chickens - No real progress on this, we've been working on the garden more (albeit, not much) instead
4. Career development -  I got a raise unexpectedly (I noticed in my pay stub a week after it happened) which is very exciting!
5. Stick to a budget, don't just track spending - We came up with a budget to start in February. I spent half of my tax return on a cruise. Win some, lose some.
6. Get married - Working on it
7. Take more pictures - I got a picture almost every day in January, but keep missing days in Feb. Oops.
8. Read more, at least 40 books, preferably over 50 - We've discussed this one, I'm well on my way with 11 books already.
9. Take a class, keep learning - No real progress on this either
10. Lose 20 pounds - I've gained 5, so now I'm going with "Lose 25 pounds"
11. Plan a fun trip - Check, we've got a cruise booked with 2 options for honeymoon cruises this summer and plans to reserve Yellowstone for next summer.
12. Eat something I've grown in the garden - Which reminds me, I need to start my seeds this weekend. Dan's ordered stuff to make raised beds.

All in all, not too bad for 1/12th of the way through the year!
