Doing good on the reading part, but the praying is hard for me sometimes. Going to make a conscious effort to pray every day, even if it’s a small prayer.

Finally got my own place about 3 weeks before my wedding, so I was actually on my own for a couple of weeks. Now, of course, my husband lives here as well.
It’s so great having your own space…being able to do whatever you want, because it’s your stuff. On the down side, bills! I had bills before, but now nearly as many as I do now. But I think the independence is totally worth it.

I’ve been married for almost 3 months now, and we’ve definitely got the “happy” part down. It takes time to get the “long” part accomplished however, so this goal should stay here for quite awhile.

We watched the first movie on the 30th, then watched the other two back to back on New Year’s Eve. That’s close enough for me. Fun nights though.

A friend and I are trading lessons. I’m teaching her piano (since that’s what I do for a living anyway) and she’s going to help me learn to sew. I think having a weekly appointment will help me make steady progress toward this goal.

Just the other day I realized I can’t even remember all of the Arabic alphabet, so I’m gonna make myself crack down and study on a regular basis. It’s hard to do when you don’t have a class and homework, but I was so proud of myself for being able to read and write in Arabic, and I don’t want to lose it.
So wish me luck…

So I bought one of those Reach flosser things over the weekend and, so far, haven’t missed a day of flossing. I can’t believe I’m so lazy that I have to buy a special tool just to be able to floss regularly. On the other hand, it is working…
back from Edinburgh

I am now the proud owner of a scarf made from Leslie clan tartan. I picked it up in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago. It’s something I’ve always wanted and I’m so glad I now have this little piece of my family history.
first attempt

So I dyed my hair. It was supposed to be kind of purpley, but instead it came out maroon and looked like a semi-normal haircolor. Therefore, I am holding onto this goal until my next long vacation from teaching piano when I will go back to the original plan of bright red. Perfect for Christmas vacation, right?
