Goals

I’m gonna detour from my planned posting and talk about my goals. I want to put down my goals for August so that at the end of the month I can look back and see what I accomplished and what I need to add to my goals September.

Spiritually

• Get my prayer time in daily (whether alone, or with D)
• There are other things that I am working on spiritually, but I would have to explain the whole story behind each one, and I’m not ready to get that personal with you all yet. Sorry L

Marriage

• We really need some time to connect and enjoy either other. I’m trying to think of small inexpensive getaways, even if we don’t take any this month, I want to at least plan them out for next month.
• I want to decide on our anniversary cruise, and get all the total costs together
• Work on communication! (I have a bad habit of telling little white lies. I’ve been doing it all my life and I really want to change this)

Financially

• We can’t really save any money this month due to the fact that we are aggressively paying off some bills, but we should have one big bill paid off this month and half of two smaller but important bills paid off.
• Restart couponing

Domestically

• Continue organizing the house
• Get our canvas photo ordered and hang up other pictures around the house
• Try at least 5 new recipes this month
• Go to the farmers market for the first time, and buy fresh produce

Physically

• Clear up my skin by drinking at least 2 bottles of water a day, washing my face at night (I’m really bad at this)
• Limiting the use of foundation
• Completely healing and getting the color back in my fingers (I bite my fingers when I’m stressed. Strange I know)
• Losing 10 pounds
• Getting 8 hours of sleep a night
• Getting my glasses and new contacts
• Taking contacts out at night (hopefully getting glasses will help with this)
• Continue to take care of my hair
• Do at home manicures and pedicures weekly, and change up the color each time

Career

• Find a better paying job
• Increase my typing speed
