Independence Day Wrap Up

I was going through some of our photos we took over the long weekend and decided to share them.

Husband had to work on the 4th, so I ran a few errands and did some house chores. We had a family dinner at my parents later on, including some fireworks which puppy did not like whatsoever. Saturday included some relaxing in the morning, cooking a few things and a party at a friends house. Sunday I got to meet a friends brand new baby for some newborn photos and tons of girl talk with the new momma! We spent the afternoon at Wayne's parents boat, trying to prep my ghostly pale skin for Florida on Sunday. SPF 50, you will be my friend!

I hope everyone had a fun and happy holiday weekend!

28 before 28


I’ll turn 28 just 6 short months from today, and I’ve been preparing a list of “28 before 28.” This is just a personal list of goals, be it silly, fun, things to improve upon, places to see, etc.  We’ll see how many of these I can cross off! Starting fresh from today. I plan to update this with my standings a few times in the next 6 months.

1.     Travel to another country.
2.     See a Broadway play.
3.     Walk across the Brooklyn bridge.
4.     Go to the top of the Empire State Building
5.     Spend an afternoon at a vineyard.
6.     Become a better cook.
7.     Clean the basement.
8.     Hike Sleeping Giant
9.     Go to the movies.
10.  Stop biting my nails.
11.  Declutter the house.
12.  Master my camera.
13.  Make the bed almost every morning.
14.  Buy more organic products when grocery shopping.
15.  Get a 6 pack. (if all else fails, buy a 6 pack of beer).
16.  Ride a bike.
17.  Blog more.
18.  Save $4,000.
19.  Make my wedding album.
20.  Start to make “yearbooks” for the past years photos.
21.  Get all of our important documents together in one place, as well as copied and somewhere not in the house.  This includes a copy/backup of all photos on usb’s!
22.  Learn how to sew.
23.  Learn how to cut chicken.
24.  Open my Etsy shop.
25.  Go to a football game.
26.  Try a new food.
27.  Go to a zoo, aquarium, or museum.

Have you ever done a list similar?! How’d you do? If not, it’s fun! Try to come up with X number of items to do before a certain date, a certain amount of months, etc!


And because no post is complete with out a photo, here's a little throwback to my 25th!
