learn conversational French
Oooh la la! 4 months ago

After spending time in Africa, I realized that I totally want to go back. Since most people speak French, my goal is to be conversationally fluent by next January!

These are a few of the things I’m going to do in order to accomplish this:

*Use the book “French in 10 minutes a day”
*Post vocabulary stickers on items around the house
*Practice French with those who went on the Mali mission trip, as well as anyone else who will endure it!

Also, I’m going to ask my friend Sandy if she wants to get together once a week to practice French using the Rosetta Stone.

It’s hard to get started now, because the doubts are surfacing. However, I’m not going to let doubt set in! I’m going for this, and letting God take care of closing any doors that He deems necessary!

Ooooh la la indeed!



learn to sail
Sailing 4 months ago

Sounds like fun, so I think I might try this this summer! Whoo-hoo!



Save $1000 (read all 3 entries…)
I did this... 4 months ago

but I used it to go to Africa, so I need to do this again! I have no idea how much money I’m getting on my next paycheck (I’ve been out of the country), so I’ll figure it out then. Once I get that paycheck, then I’ll start the countdown.

Let the fun begin!
