first day of summer

happy first day of summer!

(from my pinterest)

since I live in florida, it's difficult to distinguish this day any different from the last 90 days. we have summer all year round. how do you people live anywhere else? :)

I was thinking the other day that I have been doing a really slack job on my "22 things to do" list. I mean really slack girls. like, I don't think I've even started. so with that being said, I've decided to make a list of 10 things to get done this summer.

my summer to do list.

1) go here:

harry potter world.

2) read 8 books.

    I'm already down 2 so I think that's a good start.

3) work out at least 3 times a week. 

    I just bought Body by Bethanny. she's crazy and it's just yoga but it's kicking my butt.

4) drink so much more water.

     I've started to believe that diet pepsi is just as good as water. it's bad.

5) take a trip over to tampa for the weekend to hang out with Melinda.

     those mini vacas that just do a world of difference.

6) bake this with Josie:

happy forth of july!

7) create an actual office and guest room.

    it's so bad that I wont even post pictures of those rooms right now, in fear that you'll think I'm a pack rat. which I am. and Sonny's been so great with me. but I have got to get those rooms together!

8) only watch 30 min of tv during the day.

    seriously. night time is different, but when the sun is out I feel guilty sitting on my butt inside!

9) worry NO MORE about money.

    because the beach if free.

10) limit eating out to 3 days a week.

     we eat out way to much. plus summer means grills and corn on the cob!

so there it is. not anything to tough. I may be cheating a bit because: I'll be at harry potter world in a little less than two weeks! because: my best friend in the whole world is coming.

do you have any to dos for this summer? I'd love to hear them!

off to soak up that free sunshine!

22 things to do!

Ok so I think I may have been a little over zealous with the 365 things to do this year...I mean first off, I can't even come up with them and second, there's too many to actually enjoy crossing them off the list one by one.

Life is never how we plan, and it's all about how we adapt to change,

 so here's my realistic list of 22 things to do in 2011!

(ok maybe number one is kind of cheating)

In case you can't see them:

1) get married!

2) go camping

3) bake an apply pie from scratch

4) get a new tattoo

5) take a photography workshop

6) find a new hobby

7) make a wedding scrapbook

8) make a blanket

9) take a trip to Key West

10) pray with a stranger

11) learn to say I love you in 5 different languages

12) paint a picture

13) go 5 days with no tv

14) teach Reagan something new

15) read the whole bible

16) plant a garden

17) read 50 books

18) watch the sunrise 25 times

19) buy a car

20) finish every Harry Potter book

21) visit two new states

22) live life to the absolute fullest!

 List make me happy. I watched Chaos Theory the other day. Ryan Reynolds obviously attracted me to the cover, and it turned out to be a great movie! The gist of it is this: he makes lists every day to make things easier for him, and to keep his life in order. I <3 lists! Seriously, I already forget everything, so lists help me keep things going. If you're not a list maker try it!

And go watch the movie, Netlix. 

I can't even begin to explain the emotions going on inside my brain. I'm by definition an emotional roller coaster at this point. I'm happy at noon and then by 3 I'm a brizilla trying to stomp on every building in sight, wondering around the house yelling "RRRAAAWWWWRRRR".

Maybe that was a little bit of an exaggeration, but I think it's pretty close...just ask my mom or Sonny.

At this current moment, while I sit on my coach and enjoy 'Say Yes to the Dress' I'm excited. I'm so filled with joy that I'm about to burst at the seams! My wedding is a short 16 days away! Unbelievable! I've been counting down from (around) 250 days, and here I am watching it get into single digits. I'm ready, but I'm scared. I'm ready to be a wife, but scared I won't be good at it. I'm ready to 'grow up' but I'm afraid of what that might entail.
But that's love right? When I can have all these scared feelings but know that everything is going to be just fine because I'm marrying a man that wouldn't let a fly hurt me. He'd do anything for me and I know that without a doubt.

Alright, I'll stop with the mushy stuff.

Have a great day beautiful!

It's raining, so I can be found on my couch all day.
