Deployment Goals

So I have been thinking about how I am going to make the MOST out of the next year and have come up with a few things I wold like to accomplish.

1. Meet my goal weight. My weight has been a HUGE struggle for me since the last time Richard got home. So many life changes happened around that time so I can't contribute it to one thing. So with him being gone for a year that sounds like the PERFECT time to start. I'm sure I'll be a COW for the first week but oh well. Shit happens.
2. Complete at least 1 major craft project. Thinking this will include redoing either our table or a different table (I really want a square or rectangle one. Not feeling the round anymore) & some new chairs. Thinkin I am gonna do the table in chalkboard paint... what fun! for the boys plus it'll be great for homework. Maybe the chairs in red to tie into the kitchen? Dunno yet but thats my plan.
3. Send Richard a care package every week. I am sure there will be some weeks that nothing gets out but that should be RARE and some weeks I will send out more than one. Care packages are something I LOVED doing last time & my hubby got by far more junk than anyone else. When they were runnin outta food at the DFAC guess who still had LOADS to choose from in his room? Thats right! MY hubby.
4. Read 25 books. I LOVE to read & even tho I'm gonna try to be subbing while he's gone (I think it'll be a good way to work without having to be tied down to a schedule if I can't handle it a certain day) I won't be in school or hanging out with him in the evenings so it'll be a good way to escape.
5. Take a mini road trip. I want to go SOMEWHERE and see SOMETHING... maybe something Richard wouldn't enjoy. I dunno. I just know I wanna do something.


Not REALLY sure what else I wanna do with my year but like I said I plan on making the most of it. & not just for me. For the boys too. We will come up with some stuff they want to accomplish while Daddy is gone & do them!!!
