Build a birdfeeder

 I built a platform one for fruits just using a flat board and some wire.
Then I built some wine bottle ones using the sangria that I had shared with two friends.
 I gave them both bird feeders too!  Birds love it!

Visit 3 New Local Beaches

 I've pretty much been to every beach now between south side Chicago and Burns Harbor.
I still like my Lake Street Beach in Miller City the best!

Plant, Harvest, and Eat food from my own garden








Go Roller Skating

 Well, I actually skated quite a bit over this last year, but this was the first time I went with Eric and the kids.
 We had a good time at the rink over in Lynwood where the movie with BowWow was filmed.

Go Camping

Camping with a big group was not my favorite thing, but this tubing trip down the river was awesome!  This was the only part I took pictures.

Vacation in Myrtle Beach

Visit Christy or BOK

I finally got to see my good friend Christy when she met us over at Sunset Beach while we were on vacation.  It was good to see her after several years.

Join a Bible Study Group


Living in a new town makes it difficult to find a church and a group of people to study with.  So, I joined an online bible study.  It is part of the Bible app and its great because I can be friends with people in the app and discuss things.  Mostly I just talk to Eric about stuff.

I have also been reading a daily reading.  I've shared it with a few people, but again, mostly I discuss it with Eric.

I know this is not exactly what I had in mind when I said "join a bible study group", but ya gotta start somewhere!

Do a Groupon

I've done a few groupons in the last month or so.  Who knows what the next year will bring?!?!?!

Hang upside down on an inversion table

 I've had so many opportunities to try this over the last few months.  When I visit friends who have one I always say I'm going to try it, but then get distracted by other things.
 When I went to visit my friend E, her dad has one in the basement (that I have been meaning to try every other time I've visited).  I finally remembered to do it!
It felt good and stretched my back, but I could only hang for 20-30 second at a time cause it was difficult for my feet to stay supported in the straps.  Next time I'll try it with my shoes on!
