I always find it stunning how quickly time flies by. I always look back on the month and feel like I didn't have time to get everything I wanted done.
I really enjoy these recaps and goal setting posts. It's good to recall what I did this past month and look forward to the next month.
Well, let's get started!
October Recap

Custom Save the Date Tutorial |
I have actually tweaked the Save the Date since then. I am planning on printing them on postcards and handing them out to people. I'll make another for our wedding invitation and wedding announcements.
I also brain stormed some ideas for what I want to wear to my wedding. I shared ideas on dresses, jewelry, shoes and how I want to do my hair. I also shared my thoughts on what my groom should wear.

Thoughts on Bridal Wear (on a budget!) |
Speaking of getting things secured... We reserved our venue! I'll share some pictures of our spot and give you my brainstorm for theme and decor next month.
I am down 23 pounds this month. It is wonderful to shed those extra pounds before our wedding. I'm looking forward to pictures of myself that I actually feel good about.
I also shared my recipe for Mini Egg Cups. These are so yummy!

October Goals Review
Let's review my progress for October's goals:- Participate in Wordless Wednesday: Check! I've liked participating in Wordless Wednesday. I really want to provide a linky, but also don't want to step on the toes of Photog Show and Tell. What should I do?
- Attend a First Time Homeowner Seminar and Blog about it: 1/2 check. I did attend, but I haven't blogged about it yet. I need to regroup my notes and get blogging.
- Publish at least one post that I have rough drafted in Evernote: Nope. Didn't do this. But I am pleased that I actually made something this month and blogged about it. I think this is better than getting one of those oldies wrapped up.
- Publish one post about Wedding Ideas: Check! I posted two, actually. I shared how I made a Custom Save the Date graphic and some thoughts on Bridal Wear. I really, really, really wanted to post a third... but I decided to save it for next month. I am already driving my fiance crazy because wedding planning has been all that I can think about.
Hey, that isn't too bad! I would say that is a pretty successful month. I still feel that I should have been able to do more, but such is life.
November Goals Setting
Here are my goals for next month:- Continue Participating in Wordless Wednesday
- Blog about the First Time Homeowner Seminar

- Blog about our choice of venue and thoughts on wedding decor and theme
- Bake a pumpkin goodie and blog about it
