Today was a little bit rough. I'll be real with you- my week is on a downhill, going no where positive and getting there fast.
But I have to say how insanely blessed I am. I absolutely could not have gotten a better life than I have. Casey had to be to work early this morning. Before he left, he made my breakfast. When he got home, he helped clean the kitchen and made his own dinner so I could go out with a friend. When I got a text that hurt my feelings, he was the first person I called and instantly I felt a little better. He is my sounding board, and times a million the best choice I have ever made.
Work was semi-unpleasant today. It was busy. And stressful. My co workers and friends listen, and they are so amazing. I have never once had to beg for help, because EVERYONE is always willing to do what they can to lend a hand. I love what I do every day. God gave me this opportunity because it makes me a better person and I am so thankful for it each and every day.

November Goals
People, it is time to get serious! Last month's goals were a HUGE success. (Please note that they were all super easy) However, I super loved accomplishing all of them as well as some other MAJOR accomplishments that I will talk about later. So, November at the Holmes' house is getting serious! (Duh, I've said serious twice. I am really cracking the goal whip on myself)
1. DO MY VISITING TEACHING.- I can't handle the phone calls and the tone of the voice on the phone when I say it's not done. I feel like a drug addict that has had a fix again. That's the type of disappointment I feel.
Side Note: We have a meeting at church tomorrow to go over visiting teaching. I suck. I get it. Sad day.
2. Make more neighborhood/church friends. (This is shameful considering my goal above.) Casey is very well known around these parts and I want to know people too. We go to activities and I am his shadow. I haven't branched off and met people. I started adding wardies on facebook. It's a cry for help, no joke. I need friends. My friend from work (I can make friends there just fine) Alycia, recommended a game night. It is happening.
3. Make and take my lunch to work at least two times each week. { This is a work goal. My co-worker Ben and I have started making monthly goals so we can stand out. This one is just so don't waste so much money and keep gaining weight}
4. Keep up to date on the book of the month. Again, a work goal. The Associates (Jordan, Ben and I) plan weekly meetings to read books and better ourselves. We did it with our HAM radio tests so now we are reading the book 'Crucial Confrontations'. Ben and I have a bet- if it's not read on time you owe the other person a soda. And I am loud and proud that I ALWAYS beat the boy associates. I'm the office rookie. I gotta make em work for their advanced status.
5. Family Organization Board. People, I am getting real here! It's going to have a planning calendar, grocery list, MENUS. Mediocre is not happening.
6. Make the Christmas shopping list. And a list of winter activities! No wedding planning this year! We are going to have some fun!
I think 6 BIG goals for November is plenty. It is the holiday season after all! I will report back at the end of the month!
