Ambitions: reporting 23, and divulging 24

Wow! I can't believe it's been a year already! Well here's the final word on this past year's list of ambitions:

KEY: (don't know why but it won't let me do strikethrough text, or change font colors... so I had to get creative on how to classify them. Sorry if its confusing!)

*=Completed!!

!=Close or 1/2 way

...=Worked on/attempted

Nothing= Goal not met in any form

*1. Move: Moved up to SLC to start grown-up life.

2. Hike Mt Timp

3. Attend the Sundance Film Festival

*4 Make Flower clips: Made them with the sisters and Mazsha

!5. Host a party: It was a basketball party, but it was just me and DIma, so I'm not sure if that counts or not... it had some of the elements I had in mind when planning the goal: decorations, outfit for the theme, food... it was just missing the guests.

!6. Attend the Temple 2x/mo.: Short by just a couple of visits...

*7. Try out Zumba: I go every Thursday during my lunch break. Not a great workout, but its nice to get out of the office and move a little bit.

!8. Run a race: Didn't run... but I'm signed up for one, so that kind of counts right?

*9. Meet my new nephew: and what a happy little cutie he is!!!

*10. Read 5 books for fun: they weren't new books, but it was fun! Harry Potter will never get old.

*11. Cook 5 new recipes: Olyvie, French Onion Soup, Variniki, Chicken and Gnocchi Soup, and Sole.

12. Make a quilt

*13. Take a vacation: Vegas!

*14. Finish the Photo Wall project: Finally!!!! And soooo glad we did!! It adds so much to the room!

*15. Edit and print our wedding photos: Finally made our wedding album, only a year and a half later... but it turned out great, and it was fun to be editing and building albums again!

16. Attend a Monster Truck Rally

**17. Attend an NBA game: double check!! Jazz vs Clippers and Jazz vs. Thunder

18. Go to Zions

19. Secret Service Project

*20. Have 6 couples over for dinner: I'm not sure if it was 6 or not, but I think it was
