Report on my 2013 genealogy goals

In 2013 I had some great successes. I also struggled a little in setting realistic goals, that I would follow-through on. If this was a test, I'd have a B+ for last year's genealogy goals. Unless you accept extra credit...

Personal Tree Organization and Sharing: D-
  1. 35% Complete Rosetta Stone Spanish
    This goal is moving into 2014. Now that I've got some Hispanic in my family tree, I need to take learning a language more seriously. Pray for me.
  2. 46% Transcribe or help share 200 items (family letters, documents etc.)
    My gauge for this goal is the number of stories I've uploaded to FamilySearch Stories.
    Count:
    92
  3. 100% Share photos and other media on FamilySearch Family Tree
    Photos: 1374
    Documents: 171
Career and Education: A
  1. Attend RootsTech 
  2. Teach a family history Sunday School 
  3. Help provide feedback and stay involved in social media 
  4. Continue as usual with work
