July was such a great month. J and I were in town almost every weekend and it was fabulous. We watched fireworks, attended barbecues, spent time at the pool, hosted family, tried new restaurants, and enjoyed being at home relaxing and getting things done. I am just as excited for August, though. It promises weekend trips, friends moving next door, and more of that summertime fun. Here’s a recap of my July goals and new goals for this new month:
July Goals:
- Celebrate the 4th of July at a cookout and watch fireworks.
- Figure out what to do about J’s car.

i don’t see anything in there about hanging with your new/old neighbor!
This is a great list! 10% is a very generous amount to donate. How do you pick the organization to which you donate? I have been looking for some, and there are so many I become overwhelmed and it doesn’t get done.
@Becca – Very true ;) I did mention in the paragraph that August will bring fun neighbors… so excited!!! :D
@ShoeGal — Great question–I will post on this soon! :)
