Looking to September.

"My favourite poem is the one that starts 'Thirty days hath September' because it actually tells you something" -Groucho Marx


September is one of my favourite months of the year, not only because it's the best month (obviously- since it's my birthday!)- but because I've always looked at it as the start. I know January is the "start" of a new year, but with so many previous September's being the beginning of a school year I can't help but to be excited- even still, now that I'm done school.

So here's some things I'm looking forward to, and hoping to accomplish this September.

September Goals/Excitements

1. My "golden" birthday. Turning 24, on the 24th! I'm sure it won't be anything spectacular- I like low key, but I'm still excited. 
2. Getting back into routine, I really want to strive to have more of a schedule in our life. I'm not a spontaneous person at best, so I really am my best version when I'm organized. 
3. Sign up for some yoga classes (perhaps prenatal). Friends, has anyone done prenatal yoga before? Is it super lame? I have a pass to use up that I bought from a friend- so I would like to go once a week, at least to start. 
4. Make a budget for our family. (This is pretty much done) and actually stick to it. I really want to move before baby comes, or shortly thereafter. We don't "need" more space (as in it's possible to stay where we are), but would like more space, and a backyard for Onyx. This is going to take some serious buckling down, but I'm sure we can do it. 
5. Start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing too crazy, since I still don't have a ton of energy and am still pretty sick on a regular basis. I think I can handle walking Onyx in the evenings though, and maybe swimming once a week. 
6. Be more consistent with Onyx's obedience. She's learning, but we really need to work on the recall and not jumping and pulling before baby comes. 
7. Start doing daily devotions again. It's so vital, and I know that this is an area I've really been falling short in. 
8. Excited to have friends over weekly to watch the newest "Walking Dead" spinoff, I really love having people over, and hosting- even if it's just for a few hours. 
9. Find at least one new event per week to check out in Edmonton, *bonus if it's free!. Kyle knows I'm always finding "cool things" that end up being total duds but he tags along anyhow and entertains my notions haha. (I'll try to post the events as I find them). 
10. Try at least one pinterest idea per week. Whether it's a project, recipe whatever- and of course report if it's a total success/fail. 

Happy Thursday sweet readers,
