June Goals Recap

Time for accountability...

-Design our kitchen reno (soooooooooo excited about that!) Check
-Read and write a paper for one book for school (I have no assignments due till August 18th, but I want to get ahead as much as possible ... in fact, I've already got 2 creative assignments mostly completed!) Not check :(
-Finish my YA fantasy book (yay!!!!!!). I can't believe I'll be able to say I've written a book. It's surreal. Not check :(
-Ride my bike to work every nice day in June. I failed horribly at this in May. Kurt surprised me with a helmet and bike gloves of my very own, so I have no excuse! Well, other than hating the waking up at 5:30 part. Not check :(


I didn't do so hot this month. But July will be better!!

South Carolina!

I went to South Carolina May 28th through June 12th for my residency for school. That was June 2nd through the 11th so I went a little early so I could spend some time with my family in Charleston. I didn't take many pictures, but I tried! We played games and ate lots of food and generally laughed a lot and loudly. Because that's how my family rolls. On Sunday, we walked the Cooper River Bridge, so I thought that was the perfect opportunity for taking pictures.

My little brother, Collin, who we all call Bud or Boy. Even Kurt does it.

Caroline

Lovely expression, Dad.

I took another series of sports continuous shots of Collin running up the bridge. Here is my favorite sequence:

Then I took some shots of views from the bridge. Here are my favorites:

Dos of my siblings.

My mom getting me back for years of bunny ears.

Then I went to grad school! I didn't take any pictures myself, but I stole some from the facebook page. 

Talking to someone before a reading. We had lectures and workshops all day, then readings at night. It was a very jampacked 9 days, but I love it. Energizing and tiring at the same time. 

Sitting at lunch with some of my friends, Nick and Kyler.

This is my friend Lindsay. She is the best! School wouldn't be nearly as fun without her.

So yay for South Carolina!

June Goals

I can't believe June is halfway over. It helps that I was in beautiful South Carolina for two weeks of family and school. Oh, how I love the South. But more on that later!

I don't have many goals for June, since it's almost over. But here are the ones I do have:
-Design our kitchen reno (soooooooooo excited about that!)
-Read and write a paper for one book for school (I have no assignments due till August 18th, but I want to get ahead as much as possible ... in fact, I've already got 2 creative assignments mostly completed!)
-Finish my YA fantasy book (yay!!!!!!). I can't believe I'll be able to say I've written a book. It's surreal.
-Ride my bike to work every nice day in June. I failed horribly at this in May. Kurt surprised me with a helmet and bike gloves of my very own, so I have no excuse! Well, other than hating the waking up at 5:30 part.

I'm going to start a recap of my goals at the end of every month, stating whether I fulfilled them or not. Need to have some accountability.

PS--We named our second dog (who escaped for 4 days!). Her name is ... Ruby! We love her so much! She's fat and has a little head and is very sweet.

PPS--It's PPS right? Not PSS? Anywho! I just wanted to say that I'm on day two of my new med and so far so good. I'm very hopeful that this is a permanent change.

PPPS--Pray that I find my glasses! DOH!  Nevermind, I found them!
