Do something new every month

Went to my first AA meeting ever….I guess thats new! LOL

I’ve been slacking on writing about this goal, but not necessarily the goal itself. In July, I got married, went for the first time to Las Vegas, spoke in front of a crowd on a microphone for the very first time, and signed my name for the first time with my married name.
In August I participated in my first Philanthropic event, riding 36 miles on my bike to raise money for Providence research. I also started my own team for the Susan Komen Race for the cure! Lots of new things!!
In September, I plan to apply, for the first time to graduate school! Whoo!!

I think this counts as something VERY new!!

I’m adding July right now because I know I won’t have time to add it in July! I’m getting married on the 14th- so July will be a variety of firsts. First time to do many things as a married person, first marriage, changing my name (totally something new) and changing my lifestyle!! Its going to be insane!!

This month I stained my deck. Just recently purchasing a home has been a huge change for me. I’m learning a lot about home ownership and learning that home projects aren’t that terrible to do! My Fiancee and I stained the deck together and come to find out- it wasn’t that hard! Next step: cutting and putting up shelving!

I started an exercise regamine this month, but I also did something very new: I bought a wedding dress! I also created a budget and started living by it and I sold my first item and shipped it online.
Lots of new things this month!!

Ok, so in April I volunteered for a Triathalon. I have never worked at an event like this before so it was a huge learning experience. I had a great time and think i’ll actually enter next year!

So, Wednesday night I took a Self Defense class- something I normally wouldn’t have signed up for, but decided that I needed to move outside my comfort zone. I’m so glad I did! I had a great time and learned a lot! I recommend this to everyone!!

The month of April’s “Try something new” will be to make it an entire month without smoking. This will be the first time in my adult life that I have gone a month without nicotine.

I’m going to meet an old friend for lunch. Someone I haven’t seen in years- and i’ve never actually had a “real” lunch date with someone I barely know. Yay!
