2013 Pursuits Review

Here's a recap of how well we did on our 2013 pursuits. The original post is here.

1. Kitchen Renovations--The plan was to put into action our goal of renovating the kitchen. Verdict: Success. We officially started our kitchen renovations in August, however, they are taking much longer than we had hoped. I suppose that is what happens when both renovators work full-time! However, we have made ENORMOUS progress, and are well on our way to not living in a construction zone 24x7. Stay tuned for a much needed kitchen update.

2. Live in Less Clutter-- Verdict: What a silly pursuit with a toddler! We will never live in less clutter while small children are running around, but I am determined to have fewer messes in the house...once we are no longer living in a construction zone! However, getting a new dishwasher has definitely set us up for success in the kitchen!

3. Eat Out Less--Verdict: Mild success. This pursuit was probably achievable before I went back to working in the office, and Nicholas started working full-time. In order to achieve this pursuit, we will have to start making some concessions, like making simple meals, taking turns grocery shopping and me un-committing myself from so many evenings at church.

All in all not bad for new goals for a year that completely changed for us mid-way through!
