But, it's about time for an update!
To say July was crazy, would be an understatement. lol.
>> Fourth of July was amazing. Filled with good food, family, and fireworks!
>> My writing this month started out strong, and I eventually hit 61k in my WIP! Which is exciting, although I was hoping to get more done. But, I still made great progress... I'll take it!
>> I started doing some more marketing for my small business, Winds of Faith Co.!
>> I did some book title poetry! (Maybe I'll do a post sharing it with y'all!)
>> Our garden is doing surprisingly well this year! And we've gotten a ton of zucchini that we've made zucchini muffins, zucchini bread, and zucchini enchilada casserole! (I can't wait to make fresh salsa this year!) We've also harvested onions, garlic, and yellow crookneck squash.
>> We picked up a box of peaches from The Peach Truck! Ok, peaches might be one of my favorite fruits!
>> I packaged soap.
>> I've been super consistent with working out and I'm very proud of myself for keeping at it! I run twice a week and then do weights, machines, and videos the other days.
>> Sunsets *hearteyes*
>> Went out on the lake to jet ski.
>> Took engagement photos for two very special people! :)
>> I read books! I actually got over my reading slump and am on book three in a series I started! I also have a beta reading project.
>> Did some cover designing.
>> Got a polaroid printer which is such a fun tool to have!
>> I found an arrowhead in the garden!!!!!
>> I organized our pantry... a challenge for sure!
>> I'm making some big decisions and trusting God's lead. More on this later!!

Aw sounds so fun!! An ARROW HEAD in your garden?? That’s awesome. Oooh a very special couple? Is it a secret? Someone we’ve heard about on your blog before?? You can’t just say something like that and keep us in suspense! ;) lol. Yeah same here I’ve been trying to do more sprinting cuz I love to run, but it is so hard to make it happen. I guess just get up earlier in the morning, right? Hahah.
ReplyDeleteYES!! I was so thrilled to find it! I was just weeding along and saw it! XD
DeleteVery special! My older sister got engaged!!! And I helped take their engagement pictures! I’m going to try and talk her into sharing some of them, but we’ll see... <3
Jogging is definitely hard to stay consistent! But, you got this!
I loved reading your update! It's nice to hear how your life has been. <3
ReplyDeleteOh I've been wanting a Polaroid printer for awhile now!
Awe, that's awesome that you took some engagement pictures! (can we see??)
My July was awesome (as you probably know from my photo dump) We have a garden but haven't really gotten much yet, except lettuce. xP And I am currently reading, "Ride The River" by, Louis L'Amour. *winks* I've already read it a couple of times but I just love it so much. *laughs*
AND! *drumroll* Today I passed my drive test!! I got 88% and now all I need to do to get my license is get all my hours! *does a happy dance*
Well, I hope your day is filled with happiness, Brooklyne. God bless! <3
I’m glad you liked this post! It was kind of last minute so I wasn’t able to go into much detail...
DeleteI know! My lil sis and I went in on it together and we are really liking it! It’s fun!
(I’ll try to talk her into it! *winks*)
Yes, from your post, it sounds like your month has been busy but fun!
Also, CONGRATS ON PASSING THE TEST! I know how stressful that is, but you did it! Great job! *does a happy dance with you*

Peaches are my favorite fruit too! :D
It was super busy and went by so fast! :P
DeleteThanks so much, Patience!
They are SO good! Especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. XD
July was basically a ton of writing, lots of reading and reviewing, and university, haha! Good month, though. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds busy but right up your alley! Hey, what university are you going through??
DeleteThat soap is so pretty! Congrats on the 61k! Wow!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I nominated you for the Behind the Blogger Tag!

Sounds like a great month. Jet skiing would be fun! July was good for me. We haven't started harvesting our garden yet.

ReplyDeleteMy family and I have been harvesting a lot from our garden- it's one of the best growing gardens we've had in a long time! :)
I know, our garden took off! It’s definitely one of our best gardens... I think I’ll do a garden tour. XD
