September 2015 Goals

1 September 2015

Well, I was on a good streak there for awhile where I was checking off 100% of my monthly goals… but not this month. I’m not sure if my apparent response – to double my usual number of goals for September — is the correct one, but I’m going for it! Lots to do, and one of my favorite months to do it in!

Revisiting my goals for August:
Frame and hang our two new pieces from Framed & Matted Love them! More about this soon but you can see one here.
Finally paint the tray I primed about a year ago (No progress here… moving to September)
Make progress on goal no. 37 Made progress here, including a new storage solution and some weeding out!
Post an updated house tour here after our tour appears on Southern Weddings (Not yet – have to finish photographing a few of our less-finished spaces. Moving this to September!)
Do some sort of exercise every single day this month (I probably missed about 10 days. While working out 2/3 of the days in a month is good, it’s also my norm, so I didn’t really get at the heart of this goal!)

September goals:
— Paint my tray
— Post an updated house tour
— Start a registry for Baby Thomas
— Run my first ever 5k!!
— Make nursery plans so that we are ready to paint when my parents come in October
— Celebrate our third anniversary!
— Volunteer and shop at my church’s awesome kids consignment sale (if you are local and want to go, here is the info!)
— Finish organizing our upstairs closets
— Visit my younger sister in Nashville! Figure out how we are going to eat twenty meals in 2.5 days!

If you’ve posted your goals somewhere, I’d love to see – or just drop them in the comments!

You’re going to have so much fun in Nashville! I was there earlier this summer, and I also had about three days to cram in a plethora of incredible meals. I think we succeeded in getting several amazing + representative meals of Nashville in (plus, there was a peach festival while I was there!). I’m headed to NYC for a long weekend & have a similar “problem!” Enjoy!

Yippeeeeee for third anniversary! And for starting to plan a little place for Little Baby Girl Thomas to lay her sweet head! Fun fact: our cousins are also having a girl in January and their last name is also Thomas. :)

I accomplished almost all of my August goals including running a 1/2 marathon and am working on listing out my September ones today – http://commit30.com/commit30/goal-setting-inspiration/ – Like I like to say, Make it Public, Make it Happen. :)

I’m impressed you’re going to run your first 5k while preggers! ;) And YAY! Happy 3rd anniversary!!! We’ll be celebrating our sixth this month too! Looks like our hubbies share the same birthday AND we share the same anniversary month! :)

Emily! I always love sharing monthly goals with you. You are one of my favorite examples to share with goal-setting friends of “progress not perfection.” You always approach the goals you didn’t complete with such grace and renewed focus. It’s a great reminder that it’s about taking steps forward, not perfectly checking off a list. That’s also a lot of what I talked about in my monthly post. Here it is: http://www.wearetlk.com/tlkblog/2015/8/31/september-2015-goals

So many good things!! I’d be happy to share my 5k playlist on Spotify if you want–it served me well :) And I know you have very handy parents but if y’all ever need any extra hands on deck getting little Miss Thomas’ nursery ready, please call us anytime!
