September: Month @ a Glance

How in the world are we already in September? I feel like we were just starting summer and the warm weather.  This summer has been full of fun and relaxation which is always awesome, but I'll be honest Fall is my favorite season in Michigan.  I love the cooler weather and watching the leaves change.  Plus, Fall is filled with donuts, cider and pumpkin everything.

This month is actually not going to be super busy for us (thankfully!) so we will be using our time to catch up on things around the house and spend some much needed quality time together.  

So here's what's on our agenda this month! 

On the Agenda this Month:

1. Up North for Labor Day (we already went and came back)
2. Family reunion with Justin's family
3. Beginning Tap classes with my sister-in-law!
4. Art in the Village with Caitlin
5. Davisburg Heritage Festival
6. Girls Night with my girlfriends while Justin is out of town
7. Pedicures with Caroline and Kate
8. Apple Picking!
9. Go to at least one of my nephew's football games and see my niece cheer

Goals for September

1. Read Two Books:  Like always, I have a goal to read two books a month.  The last few months have not gone well for me.  That being said, I have already read half of a book and it's only September 5th so I am feeling great that I will finish at least one book this month.  Maybe I will even finish two!

2. Clean out Garden Beds: While Justin is out of town latest this month, my plan is to dig out all of the mulch and other stuff from the beds in front of our house.  When it comes to landscaping, we really do not have a ton of plants so I'd like to get a few plants started in our bed by the porch and transplant a few other plants from my mom's house.  The goal is to have the beds cleaned and ready to go come Spring so we can do some planting.   

3.  Pick Paint for Downstairs: Justin and I have been brainstorming ways we can continue making progress on our house while also paying off debt and one of those ways is by painting parts of our house.  Right now the majority of our house is one color (thank you builder grade paint) and it's been driving me nutso lately.  If I could at least start picking colors out, then I can plan for the rest of the house.  I also need to make a few phone calls for painters to come in and paint our first floor and the stairway walls.  The walls in the entry are too tall for us to handle ourselves.
