    - What are you looking forward to in September?
    Cooler weather. I love the fall time. I love being able to have our windows open during the day and at night. It's getting closer to the prime temperatures for that thankfully!

    - What are you not looking forward to in September?
    Midterms. Bleh. Thankfully it's the last semester!
    This is will also be our first September without Mema (her 105th bday would have been Sept 20th)

    - Do you set up a monthly budget or meal plan at the end/beginning of a month?
    Yup. We take out a certain amount of cash each month at the beginning and divide it up 'Food' 'Gas' and 'Other' and try to only use the cash. So far we've done really good.
    We also try to plan meets for the weeks, but since classes started, I've gotten a little slack on that. Whoops.

    - What did you mean to get done in August but didn't?
    Learning to 'coupon' better and gardening. I can still do those things though :)

    - Do you have September travel planned?
    Nope, but we're going to Williamsburg and Howl-O-Scream with the neighbors in October!! :)

    - We're 2/3 through the year today.  What were your 2011 goals? Are you 2/3 through?
    My goal was the graduate in December. Assuming I dont royally F myself, I should be good to go! DH and I had a goal to travel more and so far we're doing pretty good with that too, and on a budget! Yay!

    - What are you looking forward to in September?
    Cooler weather and hopefully everything with the wedding coming together so I can quit stressing, and COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!

    - What are you not looking forward to in September?
    I'm excited to move my stuff into FI's apt but I am not looking forward to the actual moving process :-P

    - Do you set up a monthly budget or meal plan at the end/beginning of a month?
    Not right now since I'm still living with my parents Undecided but we will once I move in!

    - What did you mean to get done in August but didn't?
    I meant to go to the gym a lot more than I did and I meant to have my invitations completely finished and they're not.

    - Do you have September travel planned?
    No, the only "travel" I do right now is make the 2 hour drive to see FI on as many weekends as we're both free :)

    - We're 2/3 through the year today.  What were your 2011 goals? Are you 2/3 through?

    - What are you looking forward to in September? Starting puppy classes with our new puppy.

    - What are you not looking forward to in September? The days getting shorter.

    - Do you set up a monthly budget or meal plan at the end/beginning of a month? We're trying it out this month.  We always "live within our means", but I know we could do a much better job and end up putting cash in the bank if we planned it out instead of just bumbling along. 

    - What did you mean to get done in August but didn't? Painting the office and bedroom and bathroom in the new house.

    - Do you have September travel planned? Just weekend trips around NC.

    - We're 2/3 through the year today.  What were your 2011 goals? Are you 2/3 through? I am NOT 2/3 of the way through the CPA exam.  Boo.

    Seeing my future in laws for my fiance's brithday.

    We set up a budget using Mint.com. We don't really check it anymore but we just got in the habit of spending about that much each month.

    Lots of DIY wedding projects.

    We are going to Wilmington for one night just to visit our favorite college hangout spots! 

    - We're 2/3 through the year today.  What were your 2011 goals? Are you 2/3 through?
    To lose some weight for the wedding.  I started going to Jazzercise and loved it but I wasn't losing any weight.  I was getting very toned though.  I need to go back because I miss it!
