october goals

The onset of autumn in Empire, MI.
Lake Michigan is just on the other side of those trees.

Let us see how September fared...

+ Complete my first 5k. And 10 minutes faster than my goal time, no less.

+ Send out wedding gift thank yous. Ugh. Post-wedding fail. Next month...

+ Clean and organize our entire apartment following post-wedding insanity. This took waaay longer than it should have, but I'm so glad it's finally done. Nothing beats coming home to a clean house.

+ Create at least one of the craft ideas I have swimming around in my head. I made our friends Arch and Catherine a wedding gift.

+ Get back in the swing of regular blog features, including a series centering around ArtPrize. I did a few posts on ArtPrize (more to come), and brought back Friday Confessions. Not too shabby.

...and now for October's goals:

+ Celebrate our birthdays! (Kyle on the 7th, me on the 13th.)

+ Resume regular workouts.
+ Try a pumpkin-based recipe.

+ Work on (more!) craft projects.

+ Get up earlier in the morning so I'm not so rushed before work.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who read this little blog and are so sweet and encouraging. I'm so very grateful.

Wishing all of you a happy October!
