A Goals Update + February monthly goals

On this last day of January, I am taking a look at my goals for 2012 to see how I'm doing:

Personal

• Read 36 books in 2012 = three per month. {I read three books in January!}
• Completely reorganize our filing cabinet. I intend to spend at least one hour per week on this (during an average week). {I have been doing this each week and am on track to finish by the end of March.}
• Complete one Do-It-Yourself project per month. {In January, I made Christmas gift tags with our Christmas cards.}
• Exercise regularly - at least three times per week. We just bought a Nordic Track treadmill, so I will be working on creating some workout routines that work best for me. {I am doing well with this so far.}
• Create monthly goals (a new concept, but similar to my weekly goals) for my personal life. {February's goals are below.}
• Continue creating weekly goals. {I continue to do this weekly and it's so helpful!}

Blog

• Post a Do-It-Yourself project update at the end of each month. {I posted about January's project on Saturday.}
• Post a monthly reading update at the end of each month. {I posted my January update this morning.}
• Post two new recipes per month. {I only posted one new recipe in January - Chicken and Rice with Homemade Cheese Sauce.}
• Create monthly goals for my blog. {February's goals can be found below also.}

Marriage and Family

• Continue reading through the Bible together according this two year plan (we are on year two). {We are right on track!}
• Read several books about marriage and family: The Meaning of Marriage, 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families and Power of a Praying Wife. {I am planning to read these throughout the year.}
• Continue supporting each other through a huge upcoming change in our lives.
