It is the beginning of a new month!

I always love the start of a new month, it makes me feel like starting new things, and what-not :). Although I do like a new year and week, I just like a new month better, as it isn't as long as a year (easier to see the end ;)), but you still have a longer time to get stuff done, haha :).
This month I hope to:
With the Lord's help, to grow more like him!!! (Although, this is a on-going one, not finished this month by any means!)
Make Tori and Andrew's birthday gifts.
Map out Christmas gifts (call me nuts, but I will, most likely, be starting making those Christmas gifts in early October. With the fact that I can only get one ball of yarn 40% off a week, and that I make at least 80%, usually 100%, of them by hand, it takes a while ;). I do have one gift that I know will be going on that list... I can't wait to make this for Peter :).)
Help come up with creative meals to get some of the many bulk items that we haven't been using lately out of our pantry.
Pick sign language back up. I'm not sure how, but Tori and I kind of just quit moving forward with it, though we do still use what we've learned. You are supposed to be able to learn in a week if wanted?...
Finish reading the driver's manual that Daddy bought me :P... I don't really want to drive, but I know that, even if  Daddy let's me decide when I learn, I'll have to learn some time, and I'd rather I got as much learning as possible out of the car ;). It doesn't help that all my friends are talking about learning to drive and how *wonderful* it is... eighteen wheelers coming inches from them... forgetting they have breaks on the car... running into a/c units the first lesson...
And finish memorizing Philippians 1:27- 2:11.
(And get a certain post out of draft mode, haha!)
I may keep you updated on any progress on the list :).
