It’s definitely time to get my September goals posted, now that we’re halfway through the month already! One day I really will get better at scheduling these posts for the beginning of the month where they belong…. (then again, maybe it’s fun just to keep you guessing as to when it’ll be posted each month… ;) August was a fantastic month, with some pretty happy times. Like my darling friend Sarah getting married (and at that wedding meeting two online-only friends in person, finally!), the dining room getting painted, and the first day cool enough to wear a scarf! There were also particular amounts of delicious desserts eaten, and I explored more of DC with my friend Bethany, and shot more pretty florals for Janie. There was also a good amount of time to just relax and enjoy some down time for the summer.

Here’s what did (or didn’t) get accomplished:

PERSONAL

– Keep working out at least 3 times per week (this didn’t happen for the entire month….but for some of it, at least!)
– Write 2-3 letters
– Finish trim in dining room & hallway
– Paint walls in dining room & hallway (the dining room is finished, and the hallway primed, but not done yet…)
– Host Pampered Chef Party!
– Try 2 new recipes
– Create meal/grocery plan (Sort of made progress on this…)

BUSINESS

– Choose 5 photos as options for canvas prints for office (I’m the most indecisive person ever…)
– Submit 3-4 weddings (Submitted 2!)
– Finalize list for “duty day” (for real)
– Buy new printer
– Finish inspiration board for styled shoot
– Design sample engagement album

Ok, those business goals are pathetically undone. Apparently I didn’t consult my list enough throughout the month to remember to work on them…. :-/ But hey! There’s always September….

PERSONAL

– Get back to working out at least 3 times per week
– Get new outlet covers for dining room
– Hang plates in dining room
– Paint hallway with final coat(s)
– Finish DIY chalkboard project
– Write 2 letters
– Drink a Pumpkin Spice latte!
– Find upholstery place

BUSINESS

– Submit 2 more weddings
– Finalize list for “duty day” (!!!)
– Get caught up on wedding editing
– Design & Order new address stickers
– Scan and file all contracts
– Calculate mileage to get it up to date
– Finish inspiration board for styled shoot
– Start narrowing down canvas photo options (more realistic goal ;)

Here’s to a great rest-of-the-month! Aaron will be doing some traveling for work, so I’m definitely hoping to tackle a lot of those house projects since I’ll have plenty of time. I’m also just excited that it’s really starting to feel like Fall, and I’m excited to take advantage of beautiful weather this month and next. Even just sitting out on my back deck for breakfast or dinner makes me happy. What do you hope to accomplish as Fall is setting in?
