June

June! You made it! Good to see you.

May was… a running month. I got 65 miles in. Which is short of my goal of 75 – but not by much. And I can't complain about sixty-five-freaking-miles. So I won't. The big test of whether or not it was all worth it is THIS SUNDAY when I try to stay upright for 13.1 miles. Failure is not an option. Get it done.

May was… a bit of a fail on the personal project front. But my living room is decorated, so that's a win. Business wise? Great month. I spent a lot of time on some custom invitations and introduced the summer books. Thank you for your purchases and sweet words about the videos so far. I'll keep making them.

June is… the last month that both Paul and I will be in San Diego. After this month he starts training, then deploys, then we move to Ventura! So while I will be here until February, this is it for us here together. To celebrate, I am going to be sharing more posts about our favorite San Diego spots. Look for those.

June is… more Bar Method. Much more Bar Method.

June is… the last month of the first half of the year. Which means I should be about halfway done with all of my year-long goals. Which means I should stop typing and just get to work.

GOALS : RELAX when Paul is home and PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN AND WORK while he's at the hospital.

    65 miles is amazing. It’s 65 miles more than I could do! I’ve so admired your drive and how much you have fallen in love with running since the beginning of the year. It’s an inspiration!!

    That’s awesome, Elise! You’re moving to Ventura? I live in Santa Barbara and work in Ojai. Let me know if you need a friend in the area. 🙂 At the very least, I’d love to meet for lunch sometime.

    I think you’re pretty amazing to do all that you do. I love reading your blog everyday. I’m late to get started on my Summer book but I hope to catch up. Thanks for taking the time on the videos. I’ll keep you and Paul in my prayers when he deploys.

    I liked your reminder about relaxing when your husband is home from the hospital. I need to be better about that, especially next year when he’s a busy intern. I’m usually so burned out (after taking care of our 1 year old) when he gets home from the hospital that I just want to do whatever projects I wasn’t able to do when she was awake/he was gone and sometimes forget I need to relax and hang out with him.
