september recap.

at the beginning of the month, i made a list of goals i was hoping to accomplish over the past 30 days.  i didn't get to everything, but i sure as heck did a lot.  

• get the house "couple-ized."  after living apart for a year, i've took the liberty of making everything mine.  his desk?  mine.  his side of the bed?  mine.  his shower products?...what shower products?  you get the picture.  the time has come for sharing.
• rock out my upcoming conference.  in case you didn't know (or i neglected to inform you), i work for a company that produces conferences.  i'm in charge of the exhibit floor and all sponsorship components.  this conference is the biggest one of the year (aka. the doozie) and i'm determined to rock it.
• find some time to take care of the garden.  considering 3 out of my 4 weekends this month involve traveling, this one could be tough.  but i'm gonna give it my all.
• continue with my monday night improv classes.  that's right, i said it.  i do improv!
• start swimming twice a week.  it's time.  it really is.
• keep learning photoshop (like my "hello september"?).  that is a huge accomplishment for me!  gotta keep it up.
• go backpacking.  (this is already planned- it's what a. and i are doing our first weekend together- but since it'll be an easy and fun thing, i figured why not add it to the list?!?

this september, i made it home to san diego for a wedding and had a great conference in san antonio.  a. and i are finally united after a year-long deployment and to honor his homecoming, we've been eating a lot of guacamole.  my garden is rockin' some serious zucchini & tomatoes.  improv and swim have taken the back burner despite my best attempts & backpacking fell through since many of the trails in high peaks were washed out due to heavy rain.  however, a. and i have spent a ton of time together and between dinners for two, concerts and a dishwasher fiasco (note to self, never put dish soap in the dishwasher), i've managed to teach myself a bit more about photoshop.

all in all, september rocked.  and i'm crazy-excited to see what october has in store.
