Summer Goals

So I've been thinking about summer and how I always say I'm going to do something but never do. Every summer my mom told me to pick a project and stick to it or I would regret it....well mom, you win, i regret it. This summer goes out to all the hobbies i decided NOT to do because I was too lazy. So here's the list:
1-read all the books that I've been hearing about over the semester but can't because of school(I'm even having my friend who broke her foot make me a list!) 2-try to make a dent with all the pictures I want to scrapbook(i made a little one last summer!) 3-learn the piano AGAIN, my goal is to be able to sit down and just start playing, not plucking. But, if any of you are wondering out of the 5 Nuttall children only one of us can really play, congrats lauren-you win. But Alli's in close second, then maybe me?! 4-learn to sew AGAIN, yes, this is a recurring summer goal, but I now have a goal of what to sew, a quilt. After seeing Kelli & Steph's blogs about all the cute stuff they make I just get really inspired to go make something like that, but then i remember i have no idea how to... 5-learn ASL(american sign language). I'm taking that class in the fall and I want to be super prepared in that class and not be totally lost on the first day! (yes, I still get extremely nervous on the first day of school) 6-stop my addiction with diet coke and any soda for that matter. 7-lately i've been running a lot...it's a stress reliever. so i was sitting in class the other day and decided i wanted to run to the lake and all around the lake and not die. i'm excited for this one, maybe i can even convince lauren to come with me. at least i'll have sam! So those are my summer goals. Feel free to call/text/comment/facebook/etc. me over the summer to see if i've even started any of them. I'm excited for this, and maybe if i know more people know about my goals than i'll actually do them!

  2. I am so excited you're coming home! I think you should come visit me one weekend and we'll quilt away! It would be so much fun. And then maybe you could motivate me to just take the last step to quiting drinking diet coke too.

  3. I am so glad that sometimes I am right! What a great ambitious list! Can't wait for you to come home...and I think Steph should just come here with the babies and quilt and swim away!

  5. Too many goals. Get rid of a few or you will not accomplish any. Love.

  7. Let's see....
    Read, Scrap, Sew, Play Drink, Sign, Run...

    If you would just move a few goals around...

    Ok. Much better.
    Read, Scrap, Sign, Play, Sew, Run....

    Read, just like your dear old Dad!
    Scrap, doc-u-ment pho-tos~
    Sign, for your ASL class,
    Play, not pluck your pi-an-o!
    Sew, a needle pulling thread,
    Run, with Sammy and/or Lo~
    Drink, your water now instead

    And that bring us back to Read, Read, Read, Read....

    Reid would like knowing his name was sung in praise.

  9. As I read this blogging...Dylan laughed out loud as he recalled a special memory he has of running with you last summer...if you are taking Sam, forget about Lowie, you better snag your Dylan for some real running!
