August Goals

I feel as though I say this in every goal post (ha!), but July was a sweet month. Tyler and I bought kayaks, we spent a beautiful day on the lake, I filmed for Say Yes to the Dress, I celebrated my birthday in Nashville,  attended an engagement party for my best friend, and spent lots of quality time with my people. I loved July, as usual. It's one of my favorite months along with December, and October. (I bet I'll be adding March to that elite group pretty soon, too!)

July Goals:
Finish my resume and update my LinkedIn page. HA!
Catch up on mine and Tyler's "dating album". Again, ha!
Call and make that doctor appointment!
Read one "for fun" book.
Stay on track with my bible study.
Workout 4 times per week.
Social media free Sundays. Whoops! Totally forgot! 
Do something special for Tyler's first day of dental school!!
Completely clean out my room/belongings at home! 

August Goals:
Finish my resume and update my LinkedIn page.
Catch up on mine and Tyler's "dating album".
Start student teaching and make a plan for the first eight weeks!
Move back to Lexington & deep clean the house!
Consistently blog 2 times per week at least.
Workout 4 times per week.
Send a package to my friends doing Summer Staff in Michigan!

Here's to August! August brings my move back to Lexington my four final months of college! I am too excited to head back for a last hurrah! I am ready for ya, August!
