Updates on Dreams and Goals from August

 

Wow, friends. August flew by at a ridiculously high rate of speed! I switched the perpetual calendar block in our kitchen yesterday and shook my head as I did so. How are we almost to September already?

                I confess this month went so quickly, I’m not even sure I remember each of my goals for the month. We will find out together how I did with them!

Start/finish our dining room project. YES! Oh, I cannot wait to tell you about this one. I know that each time we do a project, I say it’s my favorite, and this is no exception. The vision in my head showed up in reality, and I am so pleased with how it turned out. I promise to tell you all about it very soon.

Finish scrapbooking our Hocking Hills vacation. I did this! I was determined to finish that album before school started, and I did. (I also stayed up to date on my regular albums, which made me quite happy.)

Choose a location for our anniversary trip. I think we have done this???? (Don’t I sound convinced?) We talked about it quite a bit, and I think I know where we’re landing. Perhaps I shall verify.

Put the rest of our house back together. This was one of my favorite parts of August. We devoted so much time to really sorting through all the nooks and crannies of our house, cleaning out closets, cabinets, drawers, and shelves, and assembling everything in a way that made sense. We tossed and donated things that needed tossed and donated. We organized files. The house feels lovely now, and it is such a blessing.

Look for a wood fire pit. We did look. We did not make a purchase yet. Haven’t found one that is the price we like. We’ll keep hunting!

                I feel good about all we accomplished in August! Here’s to September!
