Friday Five 7.31.2020: Things I'm Looking Forward to in August!

July was such a great month!! I took every Friday off this month, and the 3-day weekends were heavenly. We really should all do this more often!! While I’m not expecting to have anything like my amazing birthday experience in August, there are still a few things I’m looking forward to in August!

  1. I’m a speaker for my alma mater’s leadership series! I don’t have an event invite to share quite yet, but I will as soon as a I have it!

  2. I’m a moderator for a few panels for various seminars at work! I’m moderating a panel at GCP’s 12th Annual Inclusion Conference on August 18th and then also another for GCP’s Tech Week! I do a lot of panel moderating for various events, and they’re always so much fun!

  3. Upped my move goal on my Apple Watch to 600 calories per day, so I’m looking forward to hitting that each day in August.

  4. Kayaking!!! Nick and I have been kayaking every year, but haven’t been so far this year. But August is coming up, and I’m booking us some kayaks for a little cruise!

  5. Dahlias!! You guys!! Remember when I planted Dahlias earlier this year? The first one came up this week!!!!!!! I’m so excited to harvest more Dahlias in August!!!

These are sadly not my dahlias. But these are what my dahlia dreams look like.
