#2231 seven months down in 2019

Can you believe that we are through seven months already?  July was a fun month. Let's recap:

I celebrated two holidays this month that included paid days off. WIN!

MT and I rode our bikes twice

I volunteered at four concerts at Red Butte Garden: Galactic, Lyle Lovett, Seal, and Nathaniel Rateliff

MT and I went to a Bluebird Cafe concert at Sundance Resort

There were three meetings of #EkpesBookClub

I finished five books this month

I watched one movie (The American President) and three series on Netflix (Stranger Things Season 2, Stranger Things Season 3 and Salt Fat Acid Heat)

We had a guest dog for a week

Weekly chats with Mom and Lizzie continue :)

I got myself back to the gym enough times to pay for the membership (it only takes five classes to break even)

Volunteer time at the Garden is going strong. I had 37 hours in July.

This had no direct effect on my life, but the US Women's National Team won the World Cup!

I had a nice balance of doing things and having quiet nights at home

I felt good all month physically and mentally

I didn't gain or lose weight overall; I'm a yo-yo on a plateau, if you can believe it. I gain and lose the same two pounds over and over. Maybe in August I'll have a breakthrough.

What do I have to look forward to in August? Let's see...

Possibly five concerts volunteer opportunities

Two Bluebird Cafe shows at Sundance

Our 26th wedding anniversary

A haircut appointment (I'm going through my calendar lol)

Two or three wedding volunteer opportunities

An actual wedding where I will be a guest - in Island Park, ID!

MT and I want to participate in a 5K walk. I just have to pick one and sign up for it.

Lots of reading and maybe watching a few more movies

I'm sure there will be other stuff, too, but these are things I know about.
