Week in Review: April 1

It's the last week of Lent!   Lent is often a time of year when people give up certain foods or habits, or add practices to refocus certain habits.  Given its timing, just a few weeks after making New Years resolutions, I've tried to use this time to solidify those resolutions into everyday habits.  Here's how it went this past week, and what I have coming up this week: 
 
Weekly Goals (week of March 25)
We were out of town for my birthday this past weekend, so the list was a little short :)
* Make a trip to Scrapbooks Plus
* Work out 2x 
* Work on April menu  
* 3 Acts of Service for Jean
* Complete all daily Lenten Bible Readings (via YouVersion) I fell behind the first two days we were out of town, but quickly caught up on day 3
* Finish Janice & Kevin's baby booties and pullover baby sweater, finish (start!) a scarf for the NSA Live Auction in July, start the sock's mate. I finished the sweater, and started/finished another blanket
* Prepare food/treats to take out of town with us


 
                      Overall, not a bad birthday!


Lenten Changes (things I'm refocusing during the Lenten season)
