30 Vows of Summer {Final Update}

At the beginning part of the summer I participated in Mama Kat's writing workshop, declaring my 30 vows of summer. I of course didn't complete all of my 30 vows but here is what I was up to the summer of 2010.

FAIL 1. Go to as many of Joey's baseball games as I can to root for my honey! (Went to only 2 games)
2. Continue growing my hair super long :) (Grew out my hair & donated to Locks of Love in August)

3. Plan a party at my house for friends at least once. (Had a party at my house)
4. Price gutters for our house. (We are actually getting our gutters put on tomorrow!)
FAIL 5. Get flood insurance.
FAIL SORTA  6. Get prepared for a possible hurricane.(We did buy a case of water and have a portable light in case lights go out.)
7. Find places for wedding gifts. (I actually finished this today. I cleaned out our guest bedroom closet to put our wedding gifts in until we can get a china cabinet.)
BIG FAIL 8. Loose 10lbs. (I'm sure I've even gained some weight.) :(
9. Spend time with my nieces and nephew. (Went to Lakehouse with them and enjoyed swimming and playing the Wii.)

10. See Eclipse opening night! (Saw it July 3)
11. Take hubby to baseball game. (Got free tickets from work to see Astros vs. Cubs on July 27th)
12. Do more (any) yard work! (This weekend we took out the bushes/weeds that were in an area when you walk up our entry way. Now after we get gutters on we can add flowers)
