Whew! Another month has come and gone, and we’re HALFWAY through 2012, already! Crazy. But May was a lovely month that included happy things like new vintage dresses, coffee shop work days, loose-leaf-tea gifts from Aaron, adopting our KITTIES!, friends visiting, my brother GRADUATING COLLEGE, getting things hung up around the house, discovering more lipstick colors, ordering my custom flash drives, having my first days at the pool, seeing Indiana sunsets again, and my first Craigslist purchase!

And here’s the progress that was made on last month’s goals:

PERSONAL

– Workout 3-4 times a week (except for the 10 days that I was gone…)
– Drink at least 1 Nalgene bottle of water per day
– Finish 2nd Samuel & start a New Testament book
– Have coffee/girl time at least 4 times
– Try out at least 2 new recipes, of any kind
– Work on/accomplish a DIY jewelry project
– Hang canvas prints in bedroom

– Squeeze in as MUCH personal time w/ friends as possible while in IN

BUSINESS

– Finish unpacking boxes in Office
– Purchase necessary storage units to better organize supplies

– Update book keeping for March/April
– Submit 1-2 weddings/shoots for publication

YAY! Overall, I’d say May was rather successful. So, here’s what is on the plate for June:

*As you can see, one of my goals for this month is to buy the “perfect” yellow necklace that I can wear while shooting weddings, sometimes, to bring that Marvelous Things iconic pop of color. But, I’m a little torn, right now! Here are 4 that I’m seriously considering….which one do you like best? I’m always curious to get feedback when I’m indecisive on things. :)

HAPPY JUNE, everybody! What are you hoping to achieve this month??
