101 in 1001 Update #9 & #10

It's not the end of July yet, but since I'm crossing things left and right off of my list and I missed posting in June, I figured I'd post July's update a little early and June's update a little late!

This summer has been so busy so far! Work is absolutely crazy - I was warned it would be busy at this time of year, but I had absolutely no idea that I would be facing the amount of work that I do on a day-to-day basis. I find that it makes the days go by too fast!

Jeff and I have really been stepping it up in the exercise department. We are into our third week of Insanity, going for bike rides, and working outdoors. This is really great because...I just bought my wedding dress! Now that I have my dress as motivation I know I'll just keep pushing harder for the next year. I actually can't believe that Jeff and I have been engaged for a year now! When I think about how fast that year flew by, it honestly scares me (a little bit) to think of how fast this next year will go by.

I need to get a move on with some of my planning. We still need to meet with a minister and book a DJ, and I need to get my bridesmaid's dresses selected before my maid of honour jets off to England! I am going bridesmaid's dress shopping in the next week, so hopefully we'll find something awesome for my girls and I can check another thing off my list. :) I also created a wedding website in lieu of sending out Save The Date's, but I think it needs a little more tweaking before I send it out officially.

Not much else is going on right now since Jeff and I have been spending most of our weekends building stairs at our cottage, so nothing has really happened on our house. I do have some cool DIY projects that I'm excited to work on, so hopefully I'll get to those in the fall.

Completed Goals:
42. Go to the cottage for four weekends in one summer - With the stair project still ongoing, this one was easily completed back in May/June
45. Gamble in a casino - I must have forgotten to cross this one off when I crossed off #44 since they pretty much go hand-in-hand...
64. Go wedding dress shopping with my Mom - I said yes to the dress!
66. Pick bridesmaid dresses - I'm hoping that crossing this off doesn't jinx our upcoming appointment...
80. Finish changing my address
100. Take a yoga class

Goals I'm Working On:
6. Go for a run/bike ride every week, weather permitting (44/143)
13. Eat a vegetarian meal once a week for 3 months (7/12)
14. Go one week without eating dessert for four weeks (3/4)
25. Plant a garden in my backyard and maintain it throughout the summer - I'm hoping my cucumbers will grow a little more!
48. Go on one date night a month (9/32) - Jeff and I saw Man of Steel, and had our tasting at our wedding venue, so I'm counting that as a date too
49. Take a picture of Jeff and I once a month 9/32 - I need to step up the photos again, I still have time to take my photo for July!
I took this on our day trip to Rondeau
Completed Goals: 23/101
