JB was out of town all weekend on a golf trip with some buddies.  He went to Kiawah Island in South Carolina and really enjoyed the weekend.  We are all happy he’s back home though!  I am one of those that thinks every noise is a serial killer when I’m home alone.  So is Lola, so we are real helps to one another (;

So it’s been a good busy lately but busy nonetheless since school has started.  I’ve missed having a real routine, and while it’s been fun and exciting, I am looking forward to just being home with my family for the next couple of weeks.  So I wanted to share some of my goals for the next month here.

Looking forward to getting in the habit of …

Meal planning again!  I’ve earmarked a couple of recipes in my all time favorite cookbook – great food fast.  Friends gave it to us when we were engaged and it’s been my favorite ever since.  I always reach for it when I want to try something I know will be different/good.

Trying hard to spend at least one weeknight out with some girlfriends every week or two.  That can be hard, but I am always thankful I did.

Getting into a Bible study.  My girlfriend just invited me to do one with Proverbs 31 ministry…We are meeting once a month and rotating houses.  I’m excited for it!

I’d love to really make it a once a week priority for a night out just JB and I.

Reading my Bible and devotions and writing my prayers.  This has often been a feast or famine for me, and I want it to be steady.  I used to always write my prayers, and it was always incredible to see how much God worked and in the ways He did.  I want to be more consistent.

This sounds so silly but I want to do my hair more often.  Somehow when my hair is not a total disaster, my day goes smoother.

Stop eating crap.  I feel like I’m always rushing so it’s often just turkey sandwiches, and bagels, and whatever is quick.  Lunch time is always my downfall.  Hopefully meal planning for this will help get me back on track.

So these are more like total lifestyle changes, but hoping that writing it all down here will be motivating. (:  Do you have any goals for the new school year you’re tackling?
