July 2016 goals

1 July 2016

As I knew it would be, June was a busy month. (It always is.) I traveled to Hilton Head and to Cashiers. I had two evening work events. We hosted dear friends and visited dear friends in the mountains.

But, we also picked blueberries five times! In fact, we made great progress with our summer fun list, checking off a Bulls game, chicken souvlaki, the Honeysuckle Tea House, and more. So, though those lingering items from a few months ago are STILL on my to do list (and driving me a bit nuts, if I’m being honest), I’m calling June a win. And I’m so excited for July!!

Perfect the scavenger hunt John and I are developing for my Fourth of July cousin reunion
Get an estimate from one more landscaping company
Finish our will
Master an updo from the Small Things archive
Read “168 Hours” and “Radical” for the NR Book Club (didn’t get to either of these, but I did read “Bringing Up Bebe” and really enjoyed it!)
Have fun in Brevard with our friends the Henrys
Host my two dear friends from elementary school
Plan out our July road trip to Maine

July goals:
— Finish our will

I love that you picked blueberries five times! We kept meaning to go, but it hasn’t happened just yet. Peach picking is also on the radar! I also can’t wait to see what you come up with for Lisa’s baby shower!!

What waterfall is in your picture? I took your advice from a previous blog and went to Catawba Falls and then to The Early Girl Eatery. It was such a fun adventure and great recommendations.

I am so thankful to have following the rabbitt trail/hole to yours, Callie’s (from Call Me Callie), and Lisa’s (from Something Pretty) blogs. You three helped me wash away the feelings of needing a specific purpose and external expectation (pressure) to blog. Ultimately, I came back to blogging. One of my first pressure-free blog posts is my July 2016 goals–>https://piecesofpasson.wordpress.com/2016/06/30/july-2016-goals/.
