Good morning, friends! We have a brand-new
month before us, Ryan and I are celebrating a monthiversary today, and we’re
enjoying a refreshing holiday weekend. I do not take any of this for
granted!
Today
I’m laying out the dreams and goals I have for the month ahead. I know many of
you entered a secondary form of a “new year” last month with a new school year
beginning. This month feels like my secondary “new year” start with a return to
the rhythm of some things and the introduction of newness in other ways.
ONE. Take new headshots
for my website. Yes, it was a goal
last month and an unofficial goal the month before that. We’re going to try to
make it happen for real this time.
TWO. Do some end-of-season
hosting. We know our
opportunity to appreciate the outside is winding down. September and probably
part of October will be it for us before it’s too cold to be out on the water
and even enjoying evenings on the patio. August was largely too hot to enjoy
much outside time, so we hope to take full advantage of this time for ourselves
– and to have friends in to join us – if possible!
THREE. Finalize plans
for our anniversary trip. It’s gone through
several revisions. I’m working on making a final plan. Hoping for an extra-fun
time to celebrate twelve years!
FOUR. Work on wardrobe
tweaks for fall. I’m not going to
elaborate too much on this because I’m going to do a whole post on it later
this week! But it remains a goal for this month, so I’ll list it here.
FIVE. Do four video workouts
at home each week. Ryan and I do boot
camp once a week, and in August, I did 3-4 (usually 4) workouts at home in
addition to that. I’m feeling stronger and want to keep that momentum going, so
I am listing this as an official goal.
SIX. Decorate for
fall. I actually hope to decorate inside
our house today, but I also plan to pull out the withering summer plants
outside and add pretty mums and other fall plants, too. I always look forward
to a fresh round of outside décor, no matter the season.
So
those are the hopes for September. We’ll see how reality goes, won’t we?

Hi, Bekah and Ryan!
Has it been 12 years, already?! I remember reading your blog and witnissing your journey through the desert and I also remember being SO hapy to read that you and Ryan were dating and got married! :)
I haven't read much of your blog lately, because my husband was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks, but thank God he is home now and geting better each day.
Please, continue to pray for his health. I read one of your recent posts last week and I will be praying for your mom and dad.
Your mom is a trooper (and so cute!) and she will get through this and become even stronger.
Have a blessed week!
