March Bucket List

This is going up a whole week later than I wanted, but at least it's still pretty early on in March!

I feel pretty good about the February bucket list. I'd say a solid 6 or 7/10 things got crossed off. The most exciting being that we spent a weekend in Denver for our one year anniversary that included seeing the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Colorado Avalanche in overtime. Some of March's bucket list are boring responsible adult things. The truth is March will be pretty busy for me as next month minor league baseball kicks off. So, I'll try to have some fun but it'll probably be a lot of boring stuff.

Here is my March Bucket List:

We'll see how March goes, I'll try my best to keep the blog afloat!

Until next time,

February Bucket List

A few things:
Wow, this post last year was all about getting married and moving! We've come so far in one year.
It's also been five months since I posted one of these. Whoops. Sorry!
Regardless, here's how those goals went. I definitely didn't put off packing! I think this was the most prepared I was for a move. It helped that it was just up the street. The new house rocks and I love living on Fort Carson. You could say I figured out the post season. In October, I was offered and accepted a full time position with the minor league team I've been working for out here. Since November, I've been doing that. It's a huge change, but I'm enjoying it. I FINALLY FIXED MY TURN SIGNAL AND IT IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL!!! I even got snow tires. As for the other things, I have been working out and drinking more water. I don't know if I've gone new places in the Springs, but we've definitely traveled a lot in the past two months.

Moving on, it is now February and I have a whole new list of goals. This month is one of the last where I can have some weekends off before we start gearing up for minor league season. I'm going to try my best to enjoy as much of it as I can. Here's the bucket list for February 2017 (lol, wut):

I can only hope this month is full of fun adventures. The only one I'm not confident of is #5, to be honest. Well, the only way to cross these off is to get out there and do them!

Until next time,

August Bucket List

How is it already August??? I really can't believe it's August. As I was reflecting on my July bucket list, I realized how this month had different plans for me. I did accomplish a few of the things, though. We did buy a new vacuum cleaner and it is a true blessing. I have been drinking more water and making more of an effort to blog more. We definitely didn't get the time (or money) for a weekend getaway or staycation. No big deal. My turn signal still isn't fixed, but I'm really serious about that this month. I'm still trying to get through the book I was reading at the beginning of the month but at least I'm still reading! I got to eat some BBQ even though I'm still on the hunt for great BBQ out here. Last, but not least, working out three times a week is still something I'm working on but definitely more intentional about.

This month is going to be SO busy. Seriously, my calendar is ridiculous. It's the last full month of baseball. We're moving onto post next month. With the move, we're trying very hard to save some moolah. So we might not be too exciting these next few weeks. It's time to transition out of summer and more into fall...sort of. I'll definitely need to stay focused and on track. Here's the bucket list for August 2016:

Some are new, some are the same. Let's see how this goes!

Until next time,

July Bucket List

The last bucket list I made was for March. I'd say I nailed about 7 or 8 out of 10 of my items. I definitely unpacked every box and decorated the apartment. Our apartment isn't super decorated, but we might be moving on post so I'm hesitant to do much more. My last name is officially Shepard, as far as the government is concerned. I'd say about 85% of my information is actually changed. Running in this elevation is pretty easy finally. Connor and I even did a 10k and a 5k (he did the 10k, me the 5k). Wedding thank yous were started and finished and mailed out! As far as embracing turning 24, making new friends, keeping the old, and doing things out of my comfort zone; well I'm making progress. I forget I'm 24 a lot, like I totally had to use a calculator to figure out if I was 23 or 24 at least once. Whoops. I think I push myself out of my comfort zone more than I give myself credit for honestly. The fact that we still have been here less than 6 months usually warrants going out of my comfort zone at least once a week.

Fast forward a little bit and we're right on the edge of July (um, how?). Here's what I'm hoping to do this next month!

Keep an eye out for any and all adventures that could ensue this next month!

Until next time,

March Bucket List

So, as expected, blogging hasn't been as easy with the wedding and the move happening.  It'll take me a little while to get into a groove again. Until then, I took some time to make my March bucket list.  These are great because they're like mini goals for the month.

 As far as February went, I nailed about 7/10 of them. I went through all my stuff one last time before the move and survived the move. I got married!!! With the move, I definitely visited three new cities and even some new states. I have a planner with all the family birthdays in it.  I also got my iPhone all cleaned up and have indeed discovered some new music. If you wanna hear some of it, check out my Weekly Obsession posts!
I'm going to re-add changing my last name to this month because I haven't legally done it yet.  I also need to build up my running again with the elevation change, so maybe next month I can hit 2 miles. I'll lowkey keep drinking more water because you can never do enough of that.

With all of that being said, here are my goals for March 2016:

Now, I promise to write some posts on Colorado.  I will also try to do one featuring the apartment. Until then, your patience is much appreciated. Moving is one thing. Getting married is another. Add the Army into the mix, and it's a huge adventure. Keep an eye out for an update to the blog! It won't be about Brandt much longer!

Until next time,
Brandt

February Bucket List

One of the blogs I follow, The College Prepster, does a monthly bucket list.  I love this idea! It seems like such a fun way to outline each month. So, I decided I'll give it a try myself.  Here is my bucket list for February 2016:

Let's see how this goes! I might even do this every month if it works out.  A few of these might even turn into individual blog posts, so keep an eye out for that. Does anyone else do this? What do you include on your bucket lists? 

Until next time,

Brandt
