Let’s check in on September's goals and my progress.

• Read 10 Books -- Success! I ended up reading 13 books while getting ready to move. I’d say that’s a great showing.

• Execute the boys's birthday party -- Success! We had so much fun!

• Execute the retreat -- Success! It was a lovely few days away.

• Finish packing and move!

October's Goals:

• Do something special for Arthur’s 5th birthday — Maybe a pumpkin patch?

• Unpack to a reasonable point — J will have unpacked the big furniture and most of the kitchen.

• Join a book club — I am scheduled for a few ones. Hopefully I really enjoy one of these groups.

• Find a class/group for Arthur — Maybe martial arts or gymnastics.

• Find a few new-to-us places to hang out

• Launch my crafty business in Nebraska

• Go trick-or-treating!
