Goals 2013

I was updating once a month on our goals for 2012.  However, some goals were originally written with little details and to explain certain things it needed more detail and it got to a point where it wasn't something to share publicly.  However, now that we have six months with these kids under our belt, we need to get back on track.  I feel like we have been living in survival mode for seven months (our entire time in foster care).  It is time to start living in real life.

*Write a blog post bi-weekly (goal updates don't count).
*Decide on and complete one blog series.

I actually have MORE goals, but I hope by breaking it down weekly I will get more done.  The are also more specific goals, rather then generalized goals.
