Valentine's Day And An Update on 29 Before 29

2/17/12


We had a great Valentine's Day! Our small group had dinner together (we meet on Tuesday evenings) and it was a great evening of fellowship. We enjoyed a taco bar and dark chocolate fondue.

Currey gave me a mani/pedi for Valentines which is always a sweet treat for a pregnant momma! Looking forward to being pampered very soon. Currey and I enjoyed an evening out on Wednesday. We had a fantastic dinner of tapas at Meson Sabika. Such a great evening together! Great food, relaxing evening and several hours of uninterrupted conversation with Currey. We are trying to squeeze in as many dates as we can before Little Man's arrival!

But it got me thinking...when Currey suggested Meson Sabika for dinner he didn't realize that it was on my list of 29 before 29. And it made me realize that I have not updated my list since July. So, here's a little update:


1. Take a sewing class

2. Read a book a month (I've read Bossy Pants and Pioneer Woman's Black Heels to Tractor Wheels. I've got several others on my Kindle and I'm always open for suggestions!)

3. Write a recipe a month (I've written a couple. Hopefully I'll post them soon!)

4. Host a swap party

5. Have a new friend or a family over once a month for dinner (We've been doing well with this. Hopefully we will keep it up!)

6. Send one piece of “snail mail” a month (This may be one of my favorite tasks. Oh how I love stationary!!!)

7. Plant a garden

8. Make a bow board for all of Blythe’s hair bows

9. Take Blythe to the Zoo - Check!

10. Go away for an entire weekend with just Currey (and Youth Retreats Don’t Count!)

11. Take a cooking class with Currey

12. Update my blog weekly (Hummmm...not so much!)

13. Have dinner at Meson Sebeka - Check thanks to a thoughtful husband!

14. Take cookies to a neighbor - I'm going to say Check! We delivered hot chocolate and marshmallows to most of our neighbors at Christmas

15. Purge my cookbook collection

16. Put pictures in the frame that I got for all of Blythe’s first year photo sessions

17. Cook a recipe out of every cookbook I own (Moving in the right direction on this one! Hopefully once it's purged I'll have less to cook from. :)

18. Take Blythe to pick fruit/vegetables at a farm

19. See a concert in Chicago - Check! Matisyahu in July

20. Make cloth napkins

21. Cook a meal for friend just because

22. Go to the Kane County Flea Market

23. Make Tiramisu

24. Take Blythe to the Children’s Museum

25. Spend a Girls afternoon in Downtown Geneva

26. Learn to Grill

27. Use my ice cream maker at least 6 times (We've made 1 great batch and 1 one horrible, inedible batch.)

28. Spend intentional time with 1 life giving friend monthly (OK...this is actually my favorite one. I have been so blessed with fantastic friends!)

29. Upload all of our pictures to a storage site/organize our pictures



Clearly, I've got lots to do! I am again inspired to work on this list. Only 4 months to get this list tackled and I'm sure having a new baby soon will make it an easier task! :)


Hope you had a great Valentine's Day with the one you love!!!
