Goals || Fall

Today is officially the last day of my summer vacation. It's bittersweet! I'm looking forward to working again, and having the structure of a Monday-Friday schedule, but I'm going to miss cuddling all day with Gunner. To get myself pepped up for going back to work, I've devised a lists of things that I want to get done by the end of Fall. 

I'm in love with the scents, clothing, weather, food, and products of Fall. Coffee on the way to work, while wearing a cozy cardigan and scarf. Baking pies, crock pot dinners, spiced lattes, candles and mugs. Ugh, why is Fall the best season?




  • Run twice a week - I know it's going to be difficult for me, as I'm always exhausted after work, but I have to suck it up.
  • Perfect a gluten free pie recipe - I have no idea how well gluten free flour does in pie crust, but we shall see.
  • Save as much money as we can - Buying a house soon, so we have a LOT to save up for by the end of the year.
  • Begin using my day planner - ie. stay organized! Bills, birthdays, coffee dates, appointments, etc..
  • Send out snail mail to 3 friends - Interested? Shoot me an email with your address and we can swap some snail mail!
  • Write and schedule blog posts for the weeks on Sundays - Do you have any go-to post ideas for when you're having writers block? 

What are your goals for Fall? As always, feel free to share a link to your post in the comments!

2013

Do you know what's happening in 2013?
 I'M GETTING MARRIED! 
2012 was such a great year. I earned my Child and Youth Care Worker Diploma, Rob and I moved out on our own, we got our kitten, and a bunch of other amazing things! I am so excited to see what 2013 has in store for us. We're going to be getting married in 5.5 months, getting our puppy in 1 month, and then moving in to our own apartment (no room mate!) in September. 

I decided that even though I never follow through with my New Year's Resolutions, I still want to make some. So here they are:
  • To plan this wedding with everything I have
  • To work out/run at least once a week
  • Lose some weight so that I look and feel prettier in my wedding dress
  • Visit my mom more than once a month
  • Earn some more money so that I can contribute more to the wedding and household
  • Visit family in Alberta
  • Be more reliable
  • Put more effort in to A Broke Bride
  • Save more money
