So I posted some goals for 2016 and now it is time to hold myself accountable. Lets see how I am doing so far now that it is June and we are halfway through the year already.

1. Print Pictures. I have done this. I have even printed a gorgeous poster size family picture I took of all 4 of us. I just need to find the right frame (still hunting)

2. Shoot Film. I am totally failing at this :( I have even loaded film into an old camera I inherited that belonged to my grandfather. *sigh* I still have six months.

3. Blog More, Facebook Less. I am for sure blogging more than ever and posting less pictures on facebook so I feel I am succeeding at this goal. I do want to post less on FB as well, I am trying.

4. Run a half Marathon. TOTAL SUCCESS! I have ran TWO! The Star Wars dark half in Disney World and the Hotlanta Half through the city. I have also run a color run with the entire family and am signed up for 2 more 5ks and have plans to run at least 2 more and another half in the fall.

5. Visit 6 Historical Landmarks and Museums. I have visited 2 museums, not a total fail but not a total success. I do plan on seeing Walker Evans at the High and we are going to Space Camp in a couple of weeks so that will bring it to 4. Possible other one in Alabama but I don't want to ruin the surprise if we go. Planning on posting about that one when/if we do go.

6. See More Local Plays. FAIL! We did go to Cirque Du Soliel but that is not a local play. UGH My friends are even theater professionals. I have NO EXCUSE. I just need to make time.

7. Take a video Workshop. I am taking a workshop but it is not video...still searching for one. Not giving up on this yet!

8. Become a better Storyteller with my Pictures.  Well this is why I am blogging here more. You tell me. I think I am doing better, maybe not every post but I am trying.

9. Paddle 5 Rivers. We paddled the Chattahoochee between Settles Bridge and Chattahoochee Pointe, We will be paddling the Ocoee on Sunday (Whitewater rafting class 4 HEYYY). Got another river on the schedule for my birthday next month and have already hit 2 different lakes (but they don't count). So far so good.

10. Hike a Different Trail Every Month. I am killing this one!

11. Make a Terrarium. I just did this one. It did not turn out quiet like I planned but I like it and I hope to collect more river rocks and make some smaller ones.

12. Ride my Bike on the Beltline. I have finally managed to run a couple of sections of this in the last month and it has made me want to go back and bike it that much more. I can't wait until it is finished but I will be back to the eastside trail with my bike soon.

12. Organize my Time Better. I have really done better at this. Fourth grade homework has really not helped me FEEL like my time is better organized but I am arranging my shooting schedule better and my editing schedule better so that I have much more family time and time for me to pursue my fitness goals.

13. Date my Husband. Yes and No. I really wanted to make this a monthly thing where we take turns taking charge of a date night. This did not happen. We did however manage to go on a couple of dinner dates and Cirque. We are planning a picnic paddle sunset date night and we are going away the weekend before our anniversary but honestly we really need to work on this. We need more 'us' time.

And there you have it. I think I am off to a pretty good start!
