Complete - 12 Projects

57. 12 Months of 30 Day Projects (1/31/20) Took me long enough to finish this one!! But I'm so glad and proud that I did it! I got half way through and had a bit of a breakdown, but after simplifying it and not putting so much stress on myself, I think it ended up going well. I think I would definitely do 30 day projects periodically in the future, but one right after the other might not be the greatest for me right now. Overall, I had a really good experience and learned a lot about myself. It was just fun too! :) Below I linked all The Me Monthly updates where stuff is written out. I was going to just copy and paste, but it got REALLY long. I didn't write out Project 12 in an update, so it's just chilling at the bottom.

Completed - 52 Reasons

100. Make a "52 Reasons Why I Love You" book for Jonathan (2/14/20) I love my cute husband and I wanted him to know a bunch of reasons why - in writing! I had planned to do this over a whole year by writing one thing every week and then making a little book. I ended up writing one thing per day from Christmas to Valentine's (which is exactly 52 days!) and designing my own playing cards instead! Here's a little sample :) I really enjoyed doing this! I think it helped me be a little more patient during some rough moments we had during those 52 days, and it was fun to find simple, specific reasons why I love Jonathan. He's a wonderful, caring, hilarious, person and he's just my favorite!

ME THIS MONTH It's been a minute! Let me just say that me working outside of our house is not something that works very well for our family right now. It also doesn't help when you get pregnant, you are in a UC flare, and there are many other recurring issues going on at the same time. I'm very lucky and blessed to be able to work from home normally, and we're so happy that our situation also includes Jonathan having a good job. It lowers a lot of stress for all of us when I can be home (especially me). While 2020 has also been a bit of a roller coaster so far, it's been a lot more mild than other recent months. Needless to say, I was very happy to start a new year. And now a bulleted list of some things that happened since my last update: October • Jonathan got a new job at Purple on a team doing 3rd-party supply chain stuff. It's been a really awesome change for us and he really enjoys working there! • Found out I was pregnant!! • Daisy dressed up a

Completed - New Printer

99. Get a better printer (9/1/19) One morning while still chilling in bed, Jonathan was reading an IGN article about printers and we found a well-reviewed one that was on sale for basically half off! So we bought it. It got delivered and worked way better than our old printer (which didn't print in black) but then within a month it stopped printing in color for some reason. I tried lots of different things to fix it, then kind of gave up. We print in black more often anyway!...still kind of annoying though haha :P But today I tried one more time, even willing to call HP support, when I finally found a solution on a forum that worked! (Thank you random citizen with the same printer as me.) So we truly have a better printer now and I can print whatever I want!
