A NOT so simple Goal

Ok so I thought I picked simple goals....that's a lie. I tried really really hard but I just can't think simply. I always think big and accomplishing (if that makes sense). So needless to say I haven't accomplished much. I DID buy some cute little doodads to start making jewelry though!! That's a start right? I'd say so.

I also started school today. booooo. It actually wasn't terrible. I was reminded that I really do deep down inside have a fondness of school. I like learning new things. It's just the whole thousands of dollars is weighing on my shoulders as I strive to do well in a class. I have to do well; I paid for it. Anyway, I had my Romanticism class today. Kinda boring but I think it will be interesting. I get to read some classics, i.e. Pride & Prejudice and Frankenstein! I won't be that exclamatory when I'm actually reading them though.

I will be at school at EIGHT IN THE MORNING!!!! I know I"m insane. I will take on 280 8 o'clock traffic head on! I will conquer it too. Hopefully. Then I will work and take on TWO english classes back to back until 8pm tomorrow night. Pray for me. Pray for Jared (Joke).

Anyway, Save the Dates are out. Everyone didn't get one because we only got 100. Everyone will get invitations though ( well everyone who is invited, that is). I will be ordering those within the next week or so. That will be another adventure. I work on everyone else's invitations day in and day out, but now I get to work on my own!! It will be fun, but a little intimidating too. I mean they have to look good; it's my job. It'll be interesting!

Well, we're off to Macon this weekend. It shall be the beginning of many Adrienne-Jared-Macon Adventures over the next 4 months. I think it will be fun. This post was supposed to just be about my inability of accomplishing 4 goals...not so much.

4 Simple Goals



I ran across this post in my reader from A Beautiful Mess and thought it was a cute idea. I think I will do it. It will be a fun thing to do that is not wholly wedding-oriented. And hopefully I'll get some things done that I want to do.

So here are my goals:

1.
exercise at least 3 days a week This is not meant to be hard on me; just something to motivate me a little more because I do want to be healthy 2. make handmade jewelry for each of my bridesmaids I know this is wedding but it's something I really would like to do and I would also like to get into jewelry making since I love jewelry so much:) 3. write a letter of some sorts each week This one is my favorite because I LOVE STATIONERY! 4. be able to fit into a pair of wide-leg jeans I have I have had these jeans for quite a while and have been able to wear them on and off. They kind of fit weird but they are absolutely adorable, so I'd love for this to happen:)

Well, there they are. I suppose I'll be posting on how it is going over the next few months!

The days are flying by...

Well, it''s official. I'm terrible at blogging. I'm good at reading blogs but terrible at writing them. Maybe now that I'm out of school for a while I'll actually keep up with this. It's been a month since my previous blog so now I am 5 months to a new life.

Wedding plans are moving swiftly. Everything hasn't snowballed yet, but I can feel things starting to pile up. I got the majority of the Save the Dates out a couple days ago. We still have a few more to do; we're just waiting on addresses. I will be ordering the invitations in the next week or so (this is going to be my favorite part). Then, I think it will be mostly details from there. We have decided on dessert for the reception. I think it will be fabulous! And.... the best part of the ENTIRE thing---I will be with my sweet man. finally.

This summer has been wonderful. It has had its ups and downs, but as a whole it has been a great summer. I've never been happier than when I am with Jared and just spending time with him. Even if we aren't even close to one another, just knowing he is close is enough after almost 2 years of him being really far away. I wouldn't change the long distance, but it has definitely made being with him so much sweeter. The Lord is good. He knows what He is doing. It's such a peace to know He has it all under control.

I can't promise more soon because I don't have a very good track record for that, but I'm going to try real hard!
