Sooo, I am fully aware that September is not far from being over, but better late than NEVER in posting these! Especially since I have been working on a lot of them, even though they weren’t yet posted on here. But as for an August recap, I didn’t take as many Instagram photos as other months, but some pretty significant things happened like my sister getting MARRIED, getting to visit Aaron’s family in Florida, finding an adorable new skirt for fall (for just $5!), being sick (boo!), Penny being sick (NOT fun), and trying the one-nail-glitter look for the first time.

A look back at August’s goals:

PERSONAL

– Workout 3-4 times a week (being gone for 10 days kinda set me back on this one…)
– Drink at least 3 glasses of water a day
– Write at least 2 letters
– Skype with 2 far-away friends
– Work on photobook
– Keep reading Wuthering Heights
– Edit/post Mexico photos
– Finish editing photos for Dad
– Edit/post Florida photos

BUSINESS

– Edit 3 weddings
– Continue practicing with off-camera flash
– Submit 2-3 weddings/shoots for publication
– Sort ALL receipts for 2012, thus far (!)
– Establish a business budget plan (!)
– Write a concise “mission statement” (!)
– Hang up some photos in the office
– Start designing 2nd Sample Album

That’s a bit of tall order since the month is mostly gone, but I think I’m going to hit a lot of goals, even so. What have been some of your biggest projects this month? I’m definitely feeling more inspired to be productive and get things done with the slightly cooler weather, lately. I don’t know why, but it just puts me in this “Spring cleaning” mode…only for the Fall. Haha! Yay for productivity. :)
