A little over halfway done with 2009 already. Wow, how time has flown!
I wanted to check in on some of my personal goals that I set earlier this year:
Personal Goals
- Get Private Pilot’s License
- Develop long term romantic relationship
- Bench Press 225 (1 rep)
- Take (1) 7 day vacation somewhere exotic and relaxing
- Take (5) 3 day mini-frugal getaways
Goal 1 – Get Private Pilot’s License | Status: Holding Pattern
I’m not sure why I was so set on this 6 months ago. I don’t have the time to get my pilot’s license right now. Plus it would be about 6 grand that I don’t want to spend right now on something I can do later in life. I’m putting this goal in the “holding pattern” for now…
Goal 2 – Develop LTR | Status: Going Well
When I wrote this goal in Jan., I had just started dating my best friend of the last few years. Although the “development” of the relationship is still ongoing…it’s going very well. It’s hands down the healthiest and most fun relationship that I’ve ever been in. I can definitely see us together “long term, long term”.
Goal 3 – Bench Press 225lbs | Status: Real Close
I think I’ll have this goal achieved by the end of this month. I’ve been working out with my employee 3 times a week for the last two months, and my overall strength has improved greatly. I can now bench 185lbs eight times, so doing 1 rep of 225lbs is well within my reach. I just haven’t tried yet. I’m heading to the gym later today, so maybe I’ll give it a shot.
New Goal: Bench 250lbs
Goal 4 – Take Week Vacation | Status: In Progress
Consider I’m taking a 5 day vacation this week, I think I’m pretty darn close on this goal. I’ll be gone most of this week enjoying a fun time in Vegas ($100 gambling limit, no worries) watching NBA summer league.
Goal 5 – 5 Mini Getaways | Status: 2 of 5 achieved
I’ve taken at least two mini getaways this year so far. A short camping trip with friends, as well as a short stint with my girlfriend in Leavenworth. Both were relaxing, though only single day overnight trips. I’m hoping to get in a few real 3 day short trips later this year.
I’ll do a check in on my financial goals next week.

Congrats on the LTR and the vacations–my hubby and I honeymooned in Leavenworth. We’d planned on Germany, where he grew up, but ended up settling for Leavenworth because I was in the middle of the Legislative Session, and I needed to work like crazy. Three days in Leavenworth was a lot of fun–there’s a GREAT Italian restraunt there.
Have fun!
