Dreams and Goals for June

 

The first day of June was, admittedly, not my favorite day, but let me tell you what I love about TODAY: it’s our 150^th monthiversary! I love Ryan, and I am grateful for how well he loves me even when I’m not having my best day. He’s full of grace, and I don’t take it for granted. Thank you, Ryan, for choosing me 150 months ago and for choosing me every day now! I love you with my whole heart!

                Also today…I want to share with you some of the goals I have for the month ahead. I have a feeling the month is going to fly, so I have tried not to overload the schedule. But I’m looking forward to what I have here!

Implement schedule changes. Ryan and I are working hard to bring some calm to a crazy schedule. This month will end his year-and-a-half long run as Boot Camp instructor at the gym, and as much as we have both enjoyed the routine and relationships that have come from that adventure, I think we both are excited for a change. I am also (from advice given in a seminary meeting) going to start weaving study time into my schedule now so it will feel normal when classes start. Though this is an addition, it’s a sit-and-be-calm addition.

Host some pontoon rides. We have a couple on the calendar already, and if the weather cooperates, I’d love to host a few more. Nothing formal or fancy – just an opening of the pontoon so people can enjoy a cruise around the lake.

Enjoy some days off. Since we don’t have children, our schedule doesn’t change as dramatically in the summer as other people’s do, but we do have some time off scheduled this month, and we are both really looking forward to it! There will be adventure, there will be fun, and hopefully some relaxation, too!

Learn how to contour makeup (better). A couple of months ago, I bought a contour makeup palette to use in place of concealer. I really do love the makeup itself. It feels much lighter than concealer, and I love how it looks under the powder. Unfortunately, I still haven’t mastered actually mixing the multiple colors to highlight and lowlight. I need to figure it out for real!

Savor summer. I really want to do a great job of appreciating and savoring something special and sweet each day of these summer months. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. I just want to soak up the beauty of the season!

                That’s it for me. How about you? Any plans for June?
