Compact and Goals!

Well the Compact is status quo! I took a pair of shoes in to get repaired today which by the way is very compacty! I had gotten a pair of Clarks last year when I started my new job and I loved them. They were super comfortable. Unfortunately about 3 months in, they started coming unstitched. And so there they have sat. So finally remembered and decided to bring them in!

Other than that, a few more things on our wish list, car cellphone charger broke, I need new white sneakers for work, etc. but nothing too urgent that can't wait a bit.

When we went to Target to get pics taken I did have a Huge CRAVING to shop there! I do miss it there. Not that I need to spend a crap ton when I go but I miss roaming the isles and finding good deals. So needless to say, I avoided going into the rest of the store!

My goal for April/May is to get two raised vegetable gardens built. I've always wanted my own little plot of land where I could grow veggies. Our last house had too much shade so I only could do a couple pots on the deck but our new house has a whole side yard that is sunny. So two raised beds it will be! If anyone wants to volunteer to help let me know!

Updates on our other goals for the year...
Family time: going pretty good although disc golf season is starting so we'll have to see how that affects things. For those of you who aren't aware, Jared is a bit obsessed with disc golf and by a bit, I mean a lot!
Eating healthy: going great....when I cook! But we have been eating out a little too much so we need to work on that piece as well.

And so we continue with 22 days of the Compact and a few other random goals!
