24 before 25 (goal 4...done)

Last year when I turned 24 I made my annual goal list (24 before 25).

#4 was to finish my k & s book that documented mine and Steven's first year together.

Today I finally finished it.

Thanks to a day off and some awesome mix cds from friends and bloggers that kept me motivated. 9

Here are some (bad) iphone photos of the finished thing.
(I really need to get my good camera back out to document more......)




I can't believe in a few short months we will be celebrating 2 years. Time flies.....

2011 goals update

Recently I've been working on my goals mini book. The dweeb in me wanted to see what I had done and what I had yet to do. Plus the mini book needed to be organized a little bit too. The book is divided up into (soon-to-be) 3 sections: 2011 goals, 24 before 25 goals, and 2012 goals. I like trying to have all of these in one place.


Here's how I fared with my 2011 goals:

1. travel more. (i suppose I did this by going to a few new places like Key West...but not as much as I had hoped).

2. be better at remembering birthdays. (i tried really hard to remember birthdays and send out cards in advance. i think i kinda did this one half-way.)

3. go to the gym more. (okay, I really failed this one. i'm pretty sure i went 30 days total of the entire year...if that. shame on me.)

4. read at least 10 books that are school unrelated. (score one for me. i read 18. go me!)

5. graduate college. (score 2 for me.)


And stay tuned for my goals for 2012!!!

i heart fall (time to start journaling)

Last year I participated in the lovely Janel's Fall journaling class. (So much fun I must say) and this year I decided to kinda try it again (on my own). My schedule has been so crazy hectic that I know trying to keep on a schedule just won't work, so I put together this little minibook (repurposed from an old encyclopedia, random odds and ends, and scrapbooking papers). I really like how it turned out and I can't wait to start journaling about my favorite season!!!!

I know that Autumn doesn't "offically" start until Spetember 22/23, but I can't wait that long. My favorite season is almost here and I just wish it would hurry it's butt up already. I'm excited to start decorating, pick out pumpkins to carve, have my first pumpkin spice latte of the Fall, the chilly weather to arrive, and Halloween candy to eat.

What is it about Autumn you love???

p.s. last fall (during the month of October) I posted something Fallish everyday on here.....this year I think I'm going to be even more ridiculous and post every day during fall. pinterest has seriously given me some amazing inspirational ideas and i honestly just want to get pumped up as much as i can for this season.
hope you'll come back to visit and see all the fall awesomeness!!!!!

the k & s book

Since I have more time to do craft stuff now, I've started working more on this book. I figured it would be a good way to remember our first year together. I'm kind of liking how it's turning out. I'm not finished...but I wanted to share what I have so far :) Maybe it will also help motivate me to finish it.

paint!!

Crappy photos...but I am still trying to figure out my iphone.
Today I've spent most of my time volunteering (at the school I just finished my internship at on Thursday) and painting (see above). Productive day, if I do say so myself. :)
