October was like a tornado… it was a big crazy whirlwind. We had a whole month to move from our old apartment to our new one so we took stuff carload by carload. Then my sister and her boyfriend came to visit us for a weekend and I rode back to Pittsburgh with them. I stayed in Pittsburgh for a couple of days to see family and friends (while Ben continued to move into our new apartment). The day I came back to New York we had rented a U-haul so that Ben and our friend, Dave, could move all of the big stuff. I was supposed to help, but my plane was delayed so Ben couldn’t pick me up and I had to figure out public transportation (ughhh). But we got everything moved in and then began the unpacking while still trying to work from home. And on top of all of that, we were cleaning and painting the walls white in our old apartment. I feel like we finally got our heads above the water for October 31st so that we could have friends come over to carve pumpkins and pass out candy to trick or treaters.
Now for November:
Business Goals:
All of my clients’ wedding images are done for the year! Woo hoo! I’ve been doing engagement and portrait sessions so I just want to finish editing them and I’ll be good for 2016 : )
Oh it’s so easy to keep pushing off submitting work until another day when there’s so much else going on. So my goal for November is just to submit one of my weddings to a blog.
I have 3 weddings left this year that I’m second shooting. I’m so excited to be done by Thanksgiving! I’m just praying for nice weather and happy wedding parties.
My office is so pretty and I love working in it!! It’s just so cozy and get’s amazing sun! I finally have my desk perfectly organized after way too many trips to the Container Store. I still have a couple of things that I need to find a home for, but other than that I just need to put some decorations on the walls.
Personal Goals:
I’m so excited to say that we’re pretty much moved in to our new apartment! We have decorations on the wall and only a few boxes left. Then we have just a couple of things we need to buy and then we should be good.
I need to start thinking about Christmas gifts. I really like to give gifts that people will like and enjoy which means it takes me a little longer to come up with ideas. Plus Christmas cards will need to be ordered!
I’m really looking forward to seeing both Ben and my families at Thanksgiving and Thanksmas. We don’t have too much else planned for November so it’ll be nice to just relax and be all cozy in our new apartment : )
