Finish my pharmacy technician class with at least a 95% average. I only need an 80% to pass, but I want to do better than that. Did. Finished with 98.7% Also took the certification test in August and passed it.
~Save money for Christmas presents by October. I want to be able to buy for more people this year, so H and I are planning on making a joint effort to save better and be prepared for gift buying ahead of time. Pretty set. Got almost $200 in Meijer gift cards set aside and we have plans to save more.
~Be pregnant by the end of the year. This one may be a long shot though. We'd like our kids about 2 years apart. I just have no idea when we feasibly can start TTC for Baby Rebel #2 because of my job situation. Plus it took us just over a year to conceive Baby Rebel #1, and I'm not going to get my hopes that #2 will be easier. So we'll play this one by ear. No luck yet, we've been trying since February. Probably 3 cycles left till the end of the year.
~Have a job shortly after getting my certification. I'm very hopeful that with the internship I'll do and the bonus of being a Certified Pharmacy Technician that gaining employment won't be hard. Not yet. Need to do better at job searching and have H look over my resume.
~Lose weight by my class reunion. I lost about 30lbs after having Baby Rebel, but I have gained quite a bit since high school. So while I'm realistic that I won't be able to reach my high school weight by August, I would like to lose some more and feel better about myself. Fail. Did nothing to lose weight. Now my goal is to lose weight by my sister's wedding next June.
~For Baby Rebel to have an awesome checkup with his specialist on February 10th. He'll have another u/s on his liver to make sure the hemangioma on it is still gone. I'm very hopeful that that appointment will be the last time we have to visit! Pass, completely clear of hemangiomas by Feb. All clear in May of the fistula the radiologist saw. No more specialists and no more ultrasounds.
~To help my H find a better job. He graduated from college in May 2007 and still doesn't have a "career". He has jobs that pay our bills. I would really like to help him get into a job that is long term and he loves. Complete. Got a job as security guard at a big hospital in June. Much better insurance and better pay. He quit the mall security job when he took the hospital job and quit Meijer in the last 2 weeks. For the first time in over 4 years he is only working 1 job.
~Get the sisters tattoo with my 2 little sisters. We've been planning this for awhile, and my littlest sister finally turned 18 this past December! This is the Celtic symbol for sisterhood that the 3 of us will be getting on our lower ankle area. Not definitive on the location. Completed on June 24th. We got them on the inside of our left wrists. We opted to get the first 2 initials of our names around the center. I think they turned out pretty nice.
<--Close up of my arm.
~Do something girly for myself. Be it getting a mani/pedi, or something else. Do something without Baby Rebel and H that is just for me. Not yet.
~Update my 101 in 1001, and see what I stand with accomplishing that. My finish date is March 14, 2012, so I still have some time to work on the list. I haven't done anymore since my last update. There are some more updates I need to post, and some that are still in progress. Finishing all 101 doesn't seem likely to happen.
~Just enjoy everyday with H and Baby Rebel. Time is flying and I can't believe that in 8 days I'll have a 7 month old. So I want to cherish every moment with my 2 guys and make the most of our time as a family of 3. Absolutely have. And I have photographic proof of everything. Time flies so I have to enjoy every moment.
Overall- Very happy with the fact that I'm making most of my goals. Feels good to know I'm accomplishing what I said I wanted to back at the beginning of the year.
