Well it was bound to happen eventually. May has been a blur and I pretty much accomplished 0 goals. It's okay though, right? I still have the whole second half of the year to get where I want to be. Nobody is perfect and I don't ever want to claim I am perfect at accomplishing my monthly milestones. I can only hope I will catch up some other time.
Man, May was so busy! I finished up at my job, we had my in-laws come and we were able to take them to Sedona. Mike graduated, we moved back to Utah, and I went to Europe. So busy! But it was good. I had so many happy moments and I only wish time would've slowed down just a little so I could've enjoyed it more.
So here's my progress...it's going to look pretty similar to April's, but it's okay! June is a new month and I'm ready to take it head on!
Run 200 miles: my mileage count is up to 311 miles! (I am so disappointed I ran less than 30 miles this month)
Book challenge/read 52 books: I am on book 16, so way behind schedule! Guys. I read ONE book this month. One. What. The. Heck. I'm hoping to read between 6-7 books in June. What's a book that has made you cry??
Get a job that uses my master degree: I am currently applying for jobs...so any hook-ups, let me know!
Travel somewhere new: London + Romania was so wonderful! It went by all too quickly. Lisa and I spent less than 48 hrs in London, but crammed in so much! We had 5 days in Romania and were able to see a lot as well. I will post all about our adventures.
This summer I want to visit some other new places, but they will be more local. I specifically want to visit zions. Any recommendations for other fun Utah adventures?
Attend the temple 24 times: I have been 11 times. It was so hard going to the temple here in Utah. I loved living 10 minutes away from the temple in Mesa. It was never busy and I could always walk right into the sessions. I'm apparently very spoiled, because driving 15-20 mins to the temple seemed like such an inconvenience (insert eye roll here). With some new temple changes, I'm for real (seriously guys) in the market for a new dress. It needs to happen asap. This week I will be shopping around for one. Any favorites? I still want lace. Preferably no zipper.

Next month I will be running a half marathon and I have another one scheduled for September. Anddddd in October I will be running my first marathon. I'm excited and terrified. And very motivated to keep up with my training.
We are hoping to be able to get into a house early this fall and after we're settled, we will probably start the licensing process for foster care.

I'm so happy to be back in Utah. My whole soul just feels complete again. I feel like in Arizona I really had to try to find happiness, here I am just happy. Looking at the mountains makes me happy. Being with my family makes me happy. Greenery makes me happy. I'm so happy and full of joy to be home. I can't wait for a wonderful summer full of my favorite traditions and new adventures.
What summer plans are you most excited for?
