This post contains affiliate links. My mom and son were able to come to our house from Michigan for Thanksgiving. It was the first time in nine years we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with my mom, so we loved that! One of the benefits of being so much closer to family with this move. Even better, the weather held so she had a smooth drive up and will have a clear day for driving back home. I’m glad the big storm can when it did and that the weather since has been much milder.
Here are my 2022 goals part 2: week 19 of 24.

HEALTH
Walk 175 Miles This Years
I walked 1 mile for 21 minutes.
This goal is 83.3% complete. For the year, I’ve walked 145.9 miles on the treadmill, for 2827 minutes.
Start Weight Watchers Again
The new plan is out, but my phone is too old and full to download the app. I’m still accessing Weight Watchers on my computer, and they haven’t updated that part yet. However, I ordered a new phone, so once I get it and have the app installed, I plan to start the new program.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Read 40 Books
This goal is 92.5% complete. I reread The Pearl by John Steinbeck and finished it this week. I loved it as much as or more than I did when I read it in high school! I have completed 37 books in 2022:
The Pearl (review coming soon)
Animal Farm (review coming soon)
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
The Unusual Life of Thomas Weaver
No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality
I’m Still Standing: From Captive U.S. Soldier to Free Citizen–My Journey Home
I’m currently reading/listening to several books. (Check out my reading challenge to see what I plan to read this year.)
Write in My Journal 30 Times This Year
This goal is 60% complete. I have written in my journal 18 times this year.
Make a Recipe Binder
This goal is 4.2% complete. Progress is slow. I have 3 recipes in my binder, but there’s room for 71.
TRAVEL
Take Eight Local Trips
No trips this week.
This goal is 87.5% complete.
In Arizona
Trip #1: We took our first trip to a local pop-up history event set in the 1880s. We saw a blacksmith working and listened to a band play old time music from the 1880s. It was a small event but fun.
Trip #2: We went to the Japanese Children’s Day Festival!
In Michigan
Trip #3: We stopped by Michigan to visit my mom before we make our way to New York. We decided to visit Adams Blueberry Farm to pick some organic blueberries. My kids haven’t done this for 8 years, since we moved to Arizona. My husband and I both commented how nice it is to be back in a place where we can do activities like this.
In New York
Trip #5: I didn’t take any pictures, but we went to Bliss Family Farm’s Homeschooler Day. They had a small petting zoo, bowling with pumpkins, and a HUGE corn maze, which we were lost in for some time. We also got to each take a pumpkin home.
Trip #6: We went to Genesee Country Village & Musuem. More details coming soon!
Trip #7: We went to New York City and Jersey City, New Jersey. More details coming soon!
In Pennsylvania
Trip #4: More details to come about our trip to Philly!
