Well, this one takes the cake. It’s December 20th, and I haven’t posted this month’s goals, yet. Truth be told, I had entirely forgotten until last week. But how sad would it have been to miss the LAST month of the year?? I couldn’t let that happen. So, here we go!
A little recap of November: Aaron & I celebrated our 2nd anniversary, I met John & Sherry of Young House Love, I went to the giant Yankee Candle Store for the first time, we traveled to Florida for Thanksgiving, our new nephew Jonathan was born, I did my dream bridal shoot & developed wrist problems for the first time (boo). It was an eventful month, with so many wonderful things!
PERSONAL
– Get back to working out 3-4 times per week
– Gather and take all items that I’m getting rid of to friends/thrift store (still some things that need to be taken to Goodwill)
– Decide how/if I want to do Christmas cards this year
– Work on photobook and ORDER
– Order prints for Grandma
– Put together frame for Grandma
– Try at least one new recipe (I tried two that were great! One was a Chicken curry & the other a marinera chicken & veggies in the crockpot)

Definitely didn’t accomplish all that I hoped. But it was a difficult month with some unexpected roadblocks, in my family as well as with my hard drive. Still, I’m grateful to have gotten done SOME of it! Here’s what I’ve been/am aiming at this month:
PERSONAL
– Send out Christmas cards
– Finish DIY Christmas gift
– Send gifts to Florida for Aaron’s family

I can’t believe Christmas is almost here, and the year is nearly over! It’s CRAZY how quickly time goes. But here’s to finishing strong! And stay tuned, because there are a couple more give-aways gracing the blog SOON!
