Is it April already?  Where has this year gone?!

1. Gratitude Journal is still going strong...I religiously write down 5 things EVERY SINGLE NIGHT that I am grateful/glad about that happened that day.  I love this time every night.  It makes me really enjoy the small things in life.

2. OK, Peyton is not a misbehaved dog what-so-ever so instead of "training him to behave better" we have narrowed down our "problem areas".  Jumping up on people.  Since his "injury" we have been extra conscious of his jumping.  He has actually done amazing! I'm so proud!!


3. 3 books down of 12!! Whoooo-hoo.  I love to read but like most people I don't have a lot of time to read.  I just read a book that had to do with the 1996 TWA flight that blew up and the conspiracy behind it.  It was great!  It is called Night Fall and it is by Nelson DeMille.

4. I'm still exercising on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday's.  I love it.  I love how I feel after.  I have lots of energy.  However...on Saturday morning my Boot Camp class is being switched to kickboxing!  I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!  I cannot wait to try this.  I have heard lots of good things about it...Have any of you taken a kick boxing class?  How was it?

5. No 5K yet...but I will be running my first one on July 6th!  I'm excited!

6.  I have been spending a lot of time with my sister and David's sister, Theresa.  I love being close to family.  They are the only reliable people you can count on in your life.  I don't know what I would do if I had family issues.  I thank the Lord everyday that I have such a supportive, wonderful, loving family...on both sides!!! I am so lucky :)

I didn't want to take away from the Birthday Boy on his birthday, so my New Year Goal update is a day late :)

• I have been faithfully keeping up with my Gratitude Journal.  It isn't a "chore" and it has become my favorite part of my day.  I enjoy reviewing my day while writing down just how grateful I am about the small things in life.  I love that David continues to tell me things he is grateful for.  This has actually brought us closer :)
• On the workout end of things I am still going to body sculpt and boot camp, however, I have added another class (body sculpt) on Friday afternoons!  I love my instructor Katie and I love attending class.  I never feel like I HAVE to go.  I always want to be there!
• I have finished one book (and not the one I orginially started, The Five Love Languages) I read Where Are You Now by Mary Higgins Clark (I think I have read EVERY single one of her books).  I started it on Friday and finished in on Saturday.  It was great.  I love mysterys.  I have started reading N is for Noose by Sue Grafton.  So far it is addicting!!
• Training Peyton=bust.  I haven't even tried to make him better.  He is just so darn sweet and I give in way too much.  I hope that this spring/summer I will have a little more motivation to complete this goal.
• Bettering my relationship with those around me is easy.  I have decided that every time I think of someone I will text them and let them know.  I have been sending more random texts throughout the day.  I want those around me to know that I am thinking about them and that they are important to me.  I know when I get those random calls or texts it makes me feel so great! 
• I have yet to run a 5K.  Enough said.  It is too cold for me to be outside.  I'm thinking by the time fall comes around I will be able to fulfill this goal.
