Here's July, in review:
1. Stick within our budgets on Mint.com (why is this so difficult??)
I want to say this is a failure, because for the most part it is, however we are getting better and only a few budgets were over this month.
2. Go to the gym at least 3 times a week (this was successful last month, lets keep it up!)
This is a 50% fail. We did it for 2 weeks of this month!
3. Participate in the July Food Stamp Challenge successfully.
Success! With about $4 left over!
4. Apply to at least 4 jobs. (Keep it up until I find a new one!)
Also a success. I even found a library job to apply to!
5. Socialize with friends outside of work (and bible study) at least 4 times. (This may be cheating since we have a company picnic scheduled and a cookout on the 4th!)
Um, outside the preplanned company picnic and cookout, nope. So, 50% completed?
Did you set goals in July? How did you do? I hope it was better than me!





I'm a 27 year old, newly married, newly living in Washington, librarian trying to find a job in a library. Meanwhile I'm working as a office assistant while I figure out how to live my new life as a wife.
Geoff, my wonderful, caring husband works with computers and, in his free time, plays with video games, lounges on the couch and cooks with sourdough.
Clarabelle and Hermione are our babies! Hermione, who came to Megg as a kitten, loves playing with fur mice and bottle caps. Clarabelle's hobbies include sleeping, lying in the sun and playing with straws. 
Geoff and Megg met through a mutual friend and spent 4 years dating long distance. They were finally able to live in the same zipcode after what seemed like forever when they got married on January 2, 2010! Soon after they bought a house and have been enjoying the Pacific Northwest together while being both newlyweds and new homeowners!
