Oh, yeah…I forgot I created my “Monthly Goals” post. The last “Monthly Goal” post I did was back in September. Let’s face it…I was just trying to keep my head above water. It happens. September-October ended up being some of the busiest few months of the year. Thankfully, I’m all caught up and am ready to tackle December with a fresh start & a hungry heart!  I love “Monthly Goals” because it helps me stay accountable since I’m actually posting them for the world to see! Well, for my sweet followers at least 🙂 Here are my goals for the month of December:

1. Shoot 3 Weddings

2. Shoot 3 portrait sessions

3. Get business stuff organized for preliminary taxes! That will be fun. Not really. I’m actually kind of cringing by just the mere thought of it.

4. Get canvas of Daniel & I printed!

5. Finish our DIY headboard & blog it for you guys to see how we did it! ….Haven’t even touched this yet & this has been on my list since June. haha

6. Pay It Forward

7. NO SOCIAL MEDIA  OR EMAILS AFTER 6PM!!! Okay – that’s hard for me to say because sometimes it’s peak times in the evenings to post things, so I may post pictures/posts here and there – but I’m not going to be checking my phone…like, at all! I’m going to focus on being in the moment more…with my hubby, pups & just enjoying life without any social media, emails or technology! This is a first for a goal like this…I’m excited about it 🙂 Sometimes you just get so carried up in your business that it’s hard to turn off work-mode after a certain time. I’m really going to focus on doing that from now on.

8. Read my Bible..every darn day! This will stay on my list probably every month just to keep me accountable 🙂

9. Create my “Raves” page that I’ve been meaning to make for the past 1,462 months.

10. Test out the video mode on my camera! I’ve been dying to explore this but it’s been on the very furthest, absolute back of the burner…but I’m putting it on my list because gosh dangit…it’s a goal that I want to accomplish and it’s not coming off of the list until it’s finished.

11. GET IN SHAPE!!!! This really should be number one on my list. It’s one of the most important goals that I have set for myself for the next few months! & I was quite hesitant to post this but hey, I’m human & I know that if I do post it – it will help keep me accountable! Daniel & I were talking about it the other day…we have basically been living in wedding bliss our first year of marriage…& we both have definitely put on a few pounds to say the least. He says it’s because we’re both happy & in love. I definitely agree. But I think I would be much happier with myself if I was in shape! lol We both are wanting to do it together…so I think it will be fun! I joined the gym last week and have been going to Body Pump which is so much fun! We use weights & incorporate cardio…it’s so great when you look forward to working out 🙂 I’m working on pinpointing my diet & workouts – along with drinking lots of water! My goal is to lose 10 pounds a month. That’s reasonable, right? I think so!! I want to feel great by the time my busy wedding season starts up again in a few months – which will be around March for me! I think I can make a lot of progress between now & then & I’m super excited to give it my all! I can’t wait to keep you guys updated each month on my progress!!

12. Take new head shots with Laura!

13. Attend a few Christmas parties & soak up the holiday season! 🙂
