MAY | GOALS

I still don't know how it's already May...or almost the middle of May. Beyond crazy to me!

Here are my April goals:

1.) Work on my office. Didn't even touch it! So a big fat no on this one. 

2.) Host our group of friends from Cookeville for the weekend. We did and we had the best time with everyone! You can read all about that weekend here. I love having our friends over and can't wait for our next dinner party!

3.) Yard Sale prep. Nope. We are hoping to get to that this Saturday morning!

4.) Become more active. I'm marking this one off halfway, because we have been attempting to become more active, I'm hoping this month we can get in a routine of walking every night after dinner! Our Fitbits have motivated us to walk more throughout the day to get our steps in lol.

5.) Find healthier meals to incorporate into our meal roundup. I wouldn't say that we have been eating really unhealthy, but we've been watching our portions and trying to eat more grilled meats! I've been taking salads for lunch and eating a lot of fruit.

6.) Keep my nails manicured. I didn't do too hot on this one either. We've been so busy I haven't really had time to sit down long enough to paint my nails and let them dry. 

I was able to cross off 3 out of 6 on my April goals. Not terrible, but I'm hoping to cross more off in May!

1. Work on my office. I am determined this will happen this month!! It will also help with goal #2! At least get it cleaned out and organized. Decorating it and getting to how I have

2. Yard sale prep. After we moved in we just kind put the rest of our totes in the 3rd guest bedroom which will serve as my office. I need to clean my office and make a pile of things we don't need anymore! I also need to go through other rooms and purge!

3. Create a 'House to-do list'. Matthew and I have an idea of what all we want done to the house and have talked about it multiple times, but we want to write it all down and then start getting estimates so we can know what to save for, and see what we can do ourselves. I'm really excited about this!

4. Video Tour. I really want to record a video tour of our house. Just as it is right now. I wish I would have done this before we moved in, but things moved so quickly! I want to always remember what it looked like before we start doing some changes and upgrades. I'm a sucker for before and after pictures so having a video will be even better. 

5. Landscaping. We have decided on holding off on planting much this year, but I want to tear out some bushes that we have. They are large and in charge....aaaand gotta go! I also want to find two planters to put on each side of our front door and plant something pretty in them. My dad just got us some peony bulbs and two small hostess plants to plant this year and I'm so excited about them. I've even had a dream about them the other night lol. 

6. Print pictures. This is goal will be one that will be done over time, but we at least want to get started on it. The only wedding pictures we have printed are the ones of us with our grandmothers, and we gave those to them as Christmas presents. So we want to get some wedding pictures printed, put in frames, and hung up!

MAY | GOALS

{May Goals}

May is one of my favorite months of the year! It's the month Matthew and I started dating, it's the beginning of summer and warmer days after a l-o-n-g cold winter and everything is just better in the sun, and we get a paid day off (thank the Lord)   I didn't do so well on my April goals other than drink more water! So we'll move right on to my May goals!   -PACK, PACK, PACK and PACK some more. I have literally packed nothing so far, I did however put my winter clothes up and bring out my summer clothes this past weekend. I have been buying things for my new apt and in both corners of my living room right now is big ole boxes. There is also a corner in Matthew's bedroom stacked high of things for my new apt.   -Celebrate FOUR years with Matthew I honestly can't believe we have been dating almost 4 years but then again it feels like I have known him all my life. I could talk all day about how I have the most thoughtful boyfriend in the world, but y'all still just wouldn't get it. I am SO excited to celebrate our anniversary in a few weeks, I have been planning out a few little things so hopefully they will work out.   -Eat healthier, drink even more water I feel like this is always on my list of goals and I always fail at it but I am determined to start eating better and not to eat out as much. Getting a new apt and being able to cook at the same place every night should help with this!   -Finish getting everything for my new apt. Matthew made a list on Wunderlist for me, it included everything I needed for my new apt. We have been able to mark off A LOT so far and got everything for reasonable prices!! I am SO excited to move into my new apt in a few days and get everything settled and organized!   -Start meal planning For the whole week and actually follow it! Matthew and I will "meal plan" right now and then when it comes down to it we decide it would just be easier to grab something because it's Tech night and we can get that discount and eat it on the way to an intramural game or wherever we have to go that night. I REALLY want to start using my new crock pot I received at Christmas...I just took it out of the box. Plus if we cook dinner then we will have leftovers and I won't be stopping by Burger King on my lunch break 2+ times a week.   and because I don't like posts without pictures...this was last week at Matthew's last intramural softball game! They won the championship!! :)

April showers bring May flowers...and also allergies. Girlfriend over here has been hit HARD with allergies this season. I have missed work a couple of days because they have been so bad. My allergies are usually not that bad so my body is freaking the HECK OUT. The weather needs to make up it's mind and this rain needs to go somewhere else....youknowwhatimsayin?!!

This past Saturday I had to work (boooo...I know) and of course it was POURING. 

I woke up just fine and went to work well by time I got to work I had sneezed a total of 8 times and my eyes were already starting to swell (my mind was already saying "Today's gonna be GREEAAAT"). I knew I should have taken some allergy medicine but I was so tired I couldn't even think straight.

So I went on into work snot flying and watery eyes and everyone's first reaction was "daaaang girl you look bad" or "oh Shelby, this rain has you MESSED up" thanks guys, thanks.

 Thankfully I was working the drive through and not in my window having customers all up in my face for the next four hours.

My very first customer pulls up and has an easy transaction (thank goodness) and I have a sneezing attack.

AWESOME.

I sneezed about 10 times and my eyes were watering even more by now and she looks up at me and says "well hunny are you sick?" and I respond "NO LADY MY EYES ARE THIS SWOLLEN AND I LOOK LIKE I AM DYING EVERYDAY" 

juuuuust kidding but that was exactly what was going through my stopped up mind. Allergies make me kinda cranky I guess.

Anyways I hope all you love muffins are having a wonderful week so far and if you are taking finals also then GOOD LUCK to you, we are almost finished for the summer! Wooo hooo!
