FAMILY CHALLENGE

For the last 2 years we have had a little "friendly" competition in our family. We all go to the beach together the end of July so we have started what we lovingly call our "beach goals". We all set physical goals that we hopefully can achieve by our annual vacation. Which ever couple reaches their goals or comes the closest wins a prize. This year we decided that each individual who reaches their goal will receive a prize as well as the traditional "grand prize". The grand prize has been determine but will not be disclosed to anyone at this stage of the competition. Since Big Daddy and I are officially in charge this year, I am going to post our goals today and report our progress every month. Maybe seeing them in print will help motivate all of us. We love this little challenge and look forward to it every year. This year we have from March 25 to July 25 to accomplish these goals. As you can see, we are all unique and are at different levels of physical abilities but we are all competitive! I love, love, LOVE my family!!
