September Goals.

Well, long time no talk friends. I really do not have an excuse- other than the craziness that has been back to school. As things begin to settle, I hope to return to this space more often. I promise this blog is not only a place for me to post my goals ;)

Right now, I am craving fall like never before. Just the thought of chili on the stove and a pumpkin candle burning gets my heart beating faster. It will be my last season in Lexington, too! Such a bittersweet time- I am just not ready for college to be over, but I am so ready to live in the same city as Tyler and my family. That time will come, but I am determined to enjoy this time to the fullest.

August Goals:
Finish my resume and update my LinkedIn page. Fail. 
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. HA!
Send a package to my friends doing Summer Staff in Michigan!

September Goals:
Finish my resume and update LinkedIn page.
Consistently blog 3 times per week.
Workout 3 times per week.
Make a Christmas gift giving list. 
Kick the "snooze" habit once and for all. Use this time to develop morning routine.
Throw a bridal shower for my cousin, Jessica.
Survive.

Totally manageable right!? We will see, friends! 
Have a good one!
