November's Goals:

• Prep Christmas cards to send after Thanksgiving -- I have a ton of cards made. I just need to address them and get them prepped to send.
• Host Thanksgiving -- We host a small Thanksgiving every year. J and I were just talking about who was coming and what to make. Now to make an official plan and execute.
• Start making Christmas gift lists -- Even if I don't buy them right now, I like to have a list of things I'm looking out for.
• Think about 2018 Reading Challenges/reading plan -- Always an end of the year task.
• Knock off at least 10 items from big to-do list -- I have a giant 4 page to-do list in my notebook. Hoping to cross some items off!
• Complete 5 Fall Bucket items -- Hoping to finish out strong!
