2017 Goals

This awesome goal sheet came home in Aurora's Thursday folder and I couldn't love it any more than I do. She has made huge strides with swimming, hasn't picked up her guitar in a year, needs a new bike, and well... she's always been a pretty good girl (and sleeper).


I went into 2017 with some fairly large goals of my own; namely, passing the SHRM certification exam and finishing the Distance Challenge. After months of coursework and preparation, I passed my test on Friday (!!!) and got one step closer to completing the Distance Challenge today as I set a personal record at the 3M Half Marathon.


Our next big goal is to sell all of Aurora's Girl Scout cookies (preferably not to ourselves), and her troop has some volunteering and a camping trip on the calendar. I still have the Austin Half Marathon coming up and am hoping to increase my fundraising efforts for Team LIVESTRONG. Chuck's next goal is to fix up his studio and move all of his computer equipment back out there, and Clark... I'm saying his goal for the year is to learn how to read.

There's so much more I hope we can accomplish this year, but tonight I'm feeling incredibly relieved, proud, and very sore from a big weekend. Time for bed!

Hi Amber! congratulations, that's great about your exam. I thought that last question on Aurora's sheet was really pretty nasty. I wonder what they thought that the kids would say to it? haha, Love, susanna

Great job on the exam and the race! We think Aurora did a great job on the goal assignment, too.

How can we order Girl Scout cookies online so that Aurora gets the credit for the sale?
