JUNE | GOALS

Although I didn't mark everything off like I wanted to we still accomplished a lot this past month.

Here are my May goals.

1. Work on my office. I am going to mark this on off. However, it is still a work in progress, and probably will be for the next couple of years, we got a lot done in there! One Saturday I went in there and just cleaned the whole room out. It did look like this...

Matthew got my computer, desk, and chair all set up and we got Matthew's twin bed from his college apartment set up in there for guests! 

2. Yard sale prep. I am going to mark this one off, because I have a few totes full of stuff for the yard sale that our neighborhood hosted, but the morning of the yard sale we woke up and it was raining and no one was participating! So although we didn't have a yard sale I went though our stuff and decided on what we need to get rid of. Now to just get it to Goodwill ;) 

3. Create a 'House to-do list'. We did this and these past few weeks we have been marking things off. We still have a lot to do but it will all happen over time!

4. Video Tour. I didn't even attempt this one. Once we got the paint we started painting and our house has looked like a construction zone for the past couple of weeks. Seriously, painters tape, drop cloths, you name it. Once we get all of that up I will attempt to make a video!

5. Landscaping. We took out one bush and plan on taking the other one down as well. We also found these beautiful planter at Target and placed them on each side of our front door. I absolutely love pulling up and seeing them each day.

6. Print pictures. Didn't attempt this one either. Painting kinda took over this past month for 'house projects.'

1. Continue painting. I'm not going to say finish because I know that's a lot to get done. I would like to finish the dining room, do the second (& hopefully final) coat on the study and kitchen. Then I would LOVE to start on our living room...that will be tricky since we have so much furniture in there. 

2. Try 3 new meals. One new meal each week. There are so many recipes I want to try!

3. Keep nails manicured. I know this was a goal a couple of months ago, but I need to keep it up!

4. Take advantage of our neighborhood pool! It has been open and I haven't been there yet. So crazy of me! I'm just ready to get some vitamin d.

5. Video Tour. Hopefully I'll get to it this month!!

6. Get ready for my girls trip and nail down all the details. Our girls trip is this month and I am so excited! We met a couple of weeks ago to discuss our trip but we need to have dinner again soon to nail down all the details of what we want to do and see. If you missed it, we're going to Hilton Head for a long weekend. It's our first time there so if you have any tips and "must see/do" activities please let me know!

Cleaning schedule

 

Having my own apartment means I can clean however I want, whenever I want and the only thing I'll be cleaning is my own mess. So, I decided to put together a cleaning schedule. I know there will be some weeks that I don't get everything done or have to skip a day because of plans that come up but I hope to follow this pretty closely!

 

Luckily, I only have a one bedroom apartment so I don't have a whole lot of space to clean but I honestly believe if I do a little each day then I won't spend all my free time on the weekends cleaning!

 

      Do you have a cleaning schedule?

30 day challenges

I love these little monthly calendars I always see floating around Pinterest and I always re-pin them and then go on about my day. Well this morning I woke up an hour earlier and started them! I know I know, it's not the first of the month of even a Monday but you don't need a Monday or beginning of a month, quarter, year, etc. to start something. You just need a new day!   So here is what I did this morning!

{Source}   Waking up an hour earlier was hard at first but after I got up and got going I felt great and didn't have to rush! Do you do any of these challenges you see Pinterest??   I am trying a new recipe tonight that I found and I am pretty excited about making it! If it turns out well then I will share it with y'all tomorrow!

June goals

My May goals went pretty well..

1. -PACK, PACK, PACK and PACK some more.

Took forever but finally got everything packed and UNPACKED! Read here and here

2. -Celebrate FOUR years with Matthew

you can read that here

3. -Eat healthier, drink even more water

I haven't eaten out as much and I've been drinking more water. BOOM.

4. -Finish getting everything for my new apt.

I have everything that I need, now to just to decorate :)

5. -Start meal planning 

We have been doing so well the past few weeks!!

 

 

 

- Run

I hate running, with a passion but I am determined to like it (or at least not hate it.) I don't want to run a 5k (anytime soon) but I would like to run 2-3 times a week. I know some weeks are busier than others but I think I can do 2-3 times a week. I have found THE perfect place to run as well, my work parking lot. It is well lit at night and away from the road so no one can see me practically dying running.

 

- Drink even more water

I usually drink one coke in the morning and then I drink water the rest of the day. Matthew's brother, Nathan & his girlfriend, bought me a Camelbak water bottle for my birthday and I love it! I usually drink 2 bottles a day but I want to drink 3-4 and then more once I get off.

 

-Decorate my apartment!

I have bought a few things so far but there is plenty more that I want to get! I also want to make a few things I have found on Pinterest!

 

-Organize my apartment, even more

I have organized it a lot already, I spent ALL last Saturday unpacking and putting things where they go. There are a few other areas I would like to organize a little better though.

 

-Cook more meals and continue to meal plan

Like I said up there, we have been doing really well on this one but I want to continue to do so. I also want to try a couple of new recipes!

 

-Create a cleaning schedule

I hate having a messy apartment, all dishes have to be out of the sink and the counters have to be clean before I can sleep. I have found a few cleaning schedules I like but I am going to tweak them a little to fit my lil apartment!

 

-Vacation

Finally, after two years, we are going to the beach for vacation this year. I am beyond excited to be going back to Destin, Florida with my family!

In 23 days I will be here for a whole week

Unfortunately, Matthew won't be able to go. He will be studying and taking the 2nd part of the CPA exam while we are on vacation so I'll be sure to send him plenty of pictures of the beach!! We are going to be there on July 4th, which I am even more excited about. Usually when we go we leave a couple of days before the 4th and miss out on all the events they have planned, I can't wait to watch fireworks on the beach! I honestly don't want to do anything there but relax with a good book all day and not worry about anything.
