I'm linking up with Allison as I say hello to the new month and goodbye to last month.
Goodbye, birthday month.
I will miss making everyone pay attention to me. Good thing I have a pool party birthday party planned on August 10. My birthday is never over. Amen.
Hello, parents' anniversary month.
My parents are celebrating their 31st anniversary on August 7.
I have no words to explain how awesome this is. My family rocks.
Goodbye, casual summer running.
I've enjoyed going out for runs whenever I please without having a set schedule. But....
Hello, half marathon training.
I've running half marathon #6 in October and #7 in November. I'm hoping to shave some time off my PR! (1:56) I'll be doing long weekend runs with the Oklahoma City running group and trying to maybe incorporate some sprints at the track.
Speaking of running.... goodbye, old running shoes & hello, new running shoes. It's time for an upgrade.
Goodbye, rampant jealousy and stress
Dear Jealousy,
It's been real, but it's time for you to go pester someone else. I'm tired of constantly feeling envious of all my friends. Yes, they have houses. Yes, one of them makes more money than Jordan and I combined. Yes, they have really cute Sperry's and I'm rocking four-year-old Converse.
But it's just stuff. Stupid, dumb crap.
I love my husband. I have a great apartment. I have a family I love. I really like my church. I have amazing friends.
So suck it, jealousy. Take your stress and discontent somewhere else. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Hello, new Bible study.
I am SO ready for a new Bible study. It's a time commitment (every Wednesday night from August to November), but I'm looking forward to meeting some new ladies from the church and being diligent about quiet time and Bible reading.
Speaking of church, say hello to Christmas decorations! Yes, I was at the store last week, and they were putting out ornaments. And Christmas wreaths. Is it just me, or is it still too early?
What are you saying goodbye and hello to?
