Checking in on "The List"

If you have been reading this blog for awhile, you may remember back in January I had a list of 50 goals or resolutions I wanted to accomplish this year. (If not, click here.)

About a third of the way through the year, I checked in on the list to see how I was doing. (Click here to see that post.)

And now, believe it or not, we are 2/3 through 2009. Where has the time gone? So with only four months left in 2009, it is time to check in on the list again.

Checked off the list

• Go hiking somewhere new. (Puerto Rico and Lake Cumberland)
• See Jimmy Buffett in concert.
• Take more pictures. (The number was 300 back in April. I do not have an exact count, but 5000-6000 would be a good guess)
• Keep up with my blog (This in my 213 entry of the year. Not bad.)
• Get back to the ropes course at the YMCA
• Go back to Chicago (Never made it in August. Looking at December now)
• Go to Hiking in Red Rocks (Trip planned in November)
• Go Surfing (Cocoa Beach)

Partial Credit

• Overnight Boat Trip - Although we did not go on an overnight boat trip, we did go for a weekend at a Lake House and spend almost the entire time on the water.
• Go to two concerts other then Buffett. - We made it to Dave Matthews and had tickets to see O.A.R. the night LIttle B was born. Obviously, we did not make it.
• Wakesurfing. - We had the boat, WE had the board. We got up, up were never able to get a big enough wake to surf on. Partial credit for trying.

Not Looking Good

• See the Cubs win the World Series. (Wait 'Til Next Year. Again)

Still Need to Do

• Rock Climbing
• Sailing
• Get back on the Golf Course
• Go to the Zoo

And of course, the number one item on the list every year since I started it;

BECOME A FATHER!!!

I could have accomplished nothing else this year, but that, and it would be the best year ever. Although there are still four months left of 2009, so far, I have to say it has an amazing year.
