It's already Oct. 27th, What?!

This month has FLOWN by. I don't think we have had our typical October, but we have had a full month! Daryl had a middle school dance, Alex has been killing it at school and I have had many work events including Annual Conference in Manhattan. 

This felt like a "normal" conference and I really enjoyed seeing my friends from all over the state. There are a lot of new faces in Extension but I'm excited that they are here! This year I got my 10 year recognition, but that's only because they don't count my year and a half as office professional. So I was a little surprised, I was celebrating 10 years last year! 

Since I haven't posted in a month random fire updates; Daryl decided he is playing soccer, We took family pictures and I'm anxiously awaiting the results, had a wonderful Fall KC Beer crawl last weekend, I've bought blinds but not hung them and I'm killing my daily goals! 

We didn't decorate this year, but bring on Halloween anyway! 

Enjoying all he good weather we can get! 

This flight was from Casual Animal 

Don't get me wrong, the KC Bier Co beer was good,
but this Brawt was the star of the day!

September Goal Update

Had really nice weekend with the boys, it was the right mix of activity and relax time. On Friday night we went to a movie on the lawn at Daryl's school. Hocus Pocus 2 was the movie and since I don't have Disney streaming I told the boys, we are going, no option. LOL! 
On Saturday I took a car full of trading card enthusiasts to Ottawa for a card show. Daryl and his friend were after sports cards and Alex was hunting Pokemon cards. They enjoyed it! 
KU also won another football game and it is also looking good for the Chiefs! We will call this weekend a win. 

Read 21 Books: 14 /21

This month I read the fiction book Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan. It read like reality television so....I was a fan! He wrote Crazy Rich Asians so he knows how to be entertaining and keep people reading. There was so much drama going on, I enjoyed every chapter! 

Run 720 Miles: 550/720

I'm feeling much better and the weather is perfect for running! I was able to get 60 miles this month and I did slack off last week. Cool weather is great for running but it is also great for sleeping in! The struggle is real. The goal is right on track. 

Money Goals: Made another interest only payment. I also saved the money to get the blinds but have yet to purchase or install. Maybe I can get that done in Spooky month!

Days I hit all of my Daily Habits: 15

I was happy with how I did with my goals. More often the not the one I didn't get was 10 min. tidy up. Being out of town for a week for work didn't help that goal. But it's a new month and I'm going to challenge myself a little more. See if I can still hit 15 ;-) 

New Daily Goals: 9,000 steps, 8 cups of water, read 15 minutes, 10 min tidy up and low sugar. Wish me luck! 

Not terrible...

Had the boys build a pyramid at the movie!
