April is one of my favorite months (it’s my birthday month, after all!), and this year, it is more special than ever. I get butterflies in my stomach every time I think of the fact that the next time I turn the page of my calendar, it’ll be my wedding weekend. There’s still a lot to do, and my goals this month revolve around mentally, physically, and spiritually preparing for marriage, but I can’t imagine going into this month any other way. I’ve heard a lot of people say that being married doesn’t feel that different, but honestly, I can’t even fathom that–I feel like our lives are about to be turned upside down in the best way possible, and we’re ready for it. Bring it on, April!

March Goals

• Continue prayer journaling at least three times a week, and reading Blessed Is She every morning
• Finish reading Saint John Paul the Great: His Five Loves (Also read and finished Men, Women, and the Mystery of Love)
• Start rereading Love and Responsibility
• Stay consistent with the Tone It Up Bridal Edition (I did well with this for half the month, but travel threw me off for the second half)
• Run 40 miles (Again, travel and a super busy schedule got in the way of this one. I ended up with 26.5 miles, which I’m still proud of!)
