I'm doing 19 things
My husband and I have purchased our first home and there is a perfect spot in the back for a modest-sized garden. I’m just hoping that it will get enough sunlight to grow things. I’d also like to do some container gardening on the back deck, and plant flowers in the beds in front. I’m so excited to have a chance to develop a green thumb.

How I did it
It made me
Exhilarated 
How I did it: I used a 6-week training plan from Fitness Magazine that had me working out 5 days a week. The workouts alternated run/walk intervals and cross-training, with two rest days each week. Read how I did it…
It made me
Hydrated
How I did it: I got a 22oz water bottle, and I fill it three times a day. I drink a lot while I work out at the gym (usually one whole bottle) and the rest during the rest of the day. I quit drinking soda at work and am now drinking water instead. Read how I did it…
It made me
Relieved.
How I did it: First, I had to get all of my documentation in order, including a certified copy of our marriage license from the courthouse, my original social security card, original birth certificate, car title, etc. From there, I started at the social security office to get my new card. Then, it was on to the DMV for a new driver's license. Once I had my new license, I got my car insured in the state of CT. Then, it was back to the DMV to re-register… Read how I did it…

Tomorrow my wonderful husband and I will make settlement on our first home. It is like a dream come true. This has been a huge dream of mine for longer than I can remember, and I never thought it would happen this soon. Even just a few months ago, it seemed like an impossible dream. I’m so fortunate to have a husband who works so hard to make my dreams and wishes come true.
