Summer Shenanigans | Week Five

So it’s 9:57 pm where I live and I just realized I haven’t posted anything for this week’s update for my Summer Shenanigans series. If there are typos or things that don’t make sense, I will apologize now. 

For reading, I started The Maybe Boyfriend by Christina Benjamin (Book Six in The Boyfriend Series). So far I absolutely love it, but I’m wishing I’d gone back to The Almost Boyfriend to get a refresher on all that went on with the characters. 

Work was about the same this week. I finally got my first paycheck, and it was mighty pretty. It feels weird to have a decent amount of money in my bank account again, but I’m definitely not complaining. This brings me to my next point...

I started my first budget! I’m thinking about actually doing a post specifically for how I made my budget to kick off the Lifestyle portion of my blog, so keep an eye out for that!

For working out, I have fallen madly in love with Blogilates. I started Cassey’s Beginner Challenge on Monday, and I already feel stronger and more confident. I love how she reiterates the importance of working towards being stronger rather than skinnier because all body shapes are beautiful. 

On Tuesday night, I was invited to go to a college church service with some friends from work, and I really enjoyed it. We went to get donuts afterwards (I could only get water due to my gluten intolerance) and they were all so fun to hang out with!

On Saturday, I volunteered my time and talent to help paint a mural in the town I live in from 8 am to 2 pm. It was open to the public, and we had so many people come out from the community to help out, even little kids! You can check the pictures out on my personal Instagram (@catherynamber). 

Saturday evening I traveled with my mom and her boyfriend, as well as my mom’s boss, to a family friend’s baby shower a few hours away. It was really fun and I got to see some boys I’ve grown up with that I haven’t seen in awhile, plus there were fireworks and yummy food, so I had a great time. 

Other than that, I don’t think there’s much else to talk about. It’s been crazy hot and humid where I live, and I’m honestly surprised I didn’t melt while making the mural. 

I’m sorry this post is going up so late, and I hope you understand. 

I love you all very much ❤️
