Dear November

November, I know I called other months wacky, but I am pretty sure you were the wackiest one of them all. 

First off, you couldn't decide what you wanted to do weather wise. You started out with an 80 degree weekend and then we are ending the month in the high 30s. I'm so glad there were so many days outside again. Fresh air is so good for my soul. 

Overall it's been a busy month and I was pretty pleased with it. November is one of my busiest months but also one of the shortest months too. Love how that works out haha 

The biggest highlight workwise this month has been Adoption Day! Any day that a child finds a forever home is happy but when a child finds a forever home in Novmeber, national adoption month, it's even more special. 

It's crazy to think that tomorrow it will be the 12th chapter of this year. I cannot wait to reflect on the year as a whole. 

I was also super busy working behind the scenes as e with my blog this month. Lots of wiring and planning for the upcoming year.  I am a planner by nature so laying out my whole year for the blog makes it easier for me. Instead of having to consistently think of posts each month, I have come up with a good outline of what I want to post when and I even left room, for when inspiration hits me. 

Florida was beautiful and I catch myself dreaming about it daily. I can't wait to go back. My recap of the trip will be published next month. 

All good things come to an end. Kyle and I realized that we have had a really good run but we have come to a point on our path where I'm going left, he's going right AND that's okay. It was hard to come to that point but I am forever happy for the adventures and experiences we had together. He will forever have a place in my heart. 

November ended quietly with a new reality and a new outlook. I am SO ready for December.

Goal Update

I moved 11 out of 30 days this month (Move at least 3 times a week) 

I spent 30 ish hours outside (Spend 1000 hours outside this year) (THANK YOU FLORIDA)

I tried to show kindness all month (being the best version of myself) and it really boosted my mood those days when I was extra kind.

I was NOT creative at all this month. I am still struggling with this. (Be more Creative)

Gym Update

Went to the Retro Fitness 2 times.
Early morning gym sessions that were full of weights and cardio. Still learning the gym. 

Went to Gravity Vault 1 time.
7 different routes ranging from VB to V2.  I tried each route 2x, for a total of 15 times. Out of the 15 climbs, I finished 10 climbs for a 66.67% completion rate. Which is on par for me. 

Walked 7 times.
A lunch time walk and then a late afternoon walk plus each day in Florida. 

License Plate Game 

I saw NO new license plates this month. I feel like I have been stuck with these last three for the past 2 months now. Wyoming, North Dakota and New Mexico
