I LOVE the month of March. So many great things come along with this month… Spring (yay!), celebrating our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!, Aaron turns 26, and I get a final month of relaxation before wedding season starts! Before I get into this month’s goals, let’t see how I did with February’s…. (Spoiler Alert: It’s kind of embarrassing.)

February’s BUSINESS goals:

1. Continue to blog every week day. I missed a few days here and there, but I was pleased with how consistent I blogged in February.
2. Sell my 24-70mm 2.8L in order to buy the 35mm 1.4L. Uhhh… I didn’t even list it. Whoopsies.
3. Get my office organized and actually USE it!  I’m giving myself half a point for this.
4. Finalize my bride & groom welcome packet! Still working on this one too.

February’s PERSONAL goals:

1. Go to the gym 4x’s a week. Again, missed a few days, but I did A LOT better than someone that I may or may not live with… Not naming names.
2. Throw away crap I don’t need. NO MORE HOARDING. Oh my word, my hoarding was even worse than I thought! 
3. Plan dinners a week ahead of time, so I’m not scrambling at the last minute. This one did not go well at all. Ha! Has anyone found a cute printable that I could use for this?
4. Sew a couple of pillow covers for our bed. No comment. 
5. Re-read The Pursuit of God by AW Tozer. Didn’t even get it off the shelf. 

Okay, so there’s definitely A LOT of room for improvement this month. Hello, understatement of my life. This month, I really hope to be a little more disciplined and productive and finish this month what I failed to finish last month. For March:

BUSINESS

1. Sell my 24-70 2.8L. For real this time.
2. Sell my old Macbook Pro, since I upgraded in November. Why do these things take me so long?!
3. RELAX. I know that’s probably not considered a “goal”, but if I find time to rest this month, it will greatly benefit me when April gets CRAZY.
4. Continue to blog consistently. I’m actually going to be taking a little blog-vacation next week, but that’s acceptable if it’s planned, right?? :)
5. Finalize (again) my bride & groom welcome packet.
6. Purchase Quickbooks. I need a little help & organization to better keep track of my finances.

PERSONAL

1. Go to the gym 4x’s a week.
2. Re-read Tozer’s The Pursuit of God.
3. Finish getting together Aaron’s anniversary and birthday presents.
4. Survive an entire WEEK without Aaron while he is in New Orleans on a missions trip during spring break. I’m already dreading it. :(
5. Eat more fruits and vegetables. I’d like to try juicing cause that’s what all the cool kids are doing, but I don’t want to spend any money… I’ll just stick to really sweet smoothies that probably aren’t all that healthy. :)

I just looked for a picture to add to this post for about 30 minutes and came up with this, only because it’s Throwback Thursday.
My beginning as a photographer…

Also, isn’t that vest the most rad thing you’ve ever seen in your life?
I guess this means I should also add “take more personal pictures” to my goals.

Happy Thursday! :)

I seriously cannot even believe it’s March… MARCH! Only 2 more months until I’ll be laying out at the pool getting my tan on. Yes, yes, yes! Despite the fact that it was FREEZING for most of the month, February was still great!

Noteworthy moments of February:

-My mom came to visit for a long weekend! We drank coffee, made infinity scarves, and did a little thrifting. If only Jacksonville weren’t 17 hours away.
-Snow. Blah. It wasn’t much and melted the next day, but it was enough to keep me inside for a while. Noley was totally mesmerized by it and probably would have stayed outside eating it all day.
-Aaron surprised me and took me to the Tulsa Zoo for date day! I love zoos and have wanted to go for a while, so it was really awesome.
-Running. Another blah. I’m trying to be disciplined about working out, but it definitely isn’t getting anymore enjoyable.
-There was a fire on the floor of our building. Thankfully, everyone was okay, and they were able to contain it quickly.
-Showing off my Hagrid-status hair. Praise the Lord for hair straighteners.
-SOMEONE (not naming names) dropped a box of 800 toothpicks in the kitchen. I’m still finding them a month later.
-My favorite Throwback Thursday to date. Poor, 5 year old Kelsey got stuck in a bucket, and my thoughtful mom ran to get the camera before she helped me out.
-Aaron and I did a p90x video, and it whooped our booties.
-I found Biscoff Spread at Walmart. Oh my gosh, y’all. Those heavenly cookies Delta serves on their flights?! Yeah… That what this is, just in a peanut-buttery form. Life forever changed.
-Aaron’s youth pastor from middle/high school came to visit us in Arkansas and spoke to our students at church. It was great to have him visit.
-The last picture is further proof that my mom and I look nothing alike, contrary to what EVERYONE says.

Happy Monday!
