Since
it's been almost a solid 3 months since my last blog post, I thought it
was high time for an update. Summer has flown right by us, and school
has started again for my hubby and many of my friends. I'm still trying
to remind myself that school is not on my agenda - it's hard to register
when you're used to starting school in August for the past 20 years.
It's a hard realization (if you can believe that) because I honestly
loved school.
Summer was
packed full of amazing fun for us this year. We got to spend a lot of
time with our friends, Kathryn & Darren, and our families of course.
We went floating down the Buffalo River for the first time ever in May
with Kathryn & Darren... We also went with them to the Poultry
Festival up in Rogers in June -- plus countless other fun nights spent
with them.
Here is Ryan grilling out on our porch with our "grass." Many summer nights were spent out here with each other :)
Ryan took me to go see The Dark Knight Rises in IMAX opening weekend. I was FLOORED... I've seen it three times already, and it's in my top 5 favorite movies. Batman <3 br="br">
Other than that, we had birthday parties, fun nights, a trip
to the lake with my family, and barbeques with family.
And here I am with my sweetie <3 p="p">
Ryan and I also
just got back from our 7 day cruise to the Bahamas last week. Summer has
been full of awesomeness! It's hard to "get back to business" this
week.
We are headed to dinner at the steakhouse here :) dressed up!
this is on our suite's balcony leaving Nassau, Bahamas...
Beautiful view from our balcony :)
my favorite quarter game in the casino paid off!
So it may
take me forever, but I plan on finishing this darn 30 day blog challenge
: ) Today is "three wishes." As much as I love Aladdin, this post is
semi-lame. I could make it very serious and wish for world peace and all
those things, but I'll make it fun and light hearted... so you won't
judge me if I leave off something serious you really care about :)
1.) A permanent vacation with my boo.
Tell me who wouldn't want this?! Since returning from our vacation, all I
can do is think about going on another one. We keep talking about our
"post vacation" depression and how wonderful it will be to get to go see
other parts of the world together in the future. I can't imagine a
'permanent vacation' where that's all we do!! I'm sure it would get old
at some point, and I'd want to get back to counseling... but I'd want to
try it out first :)
2.) Eating without getting fat.
Now,
c'mon... isn't this every woman's dream? If I get a wish, I want this
one for sure. I love a lot of healthy foods, but I REALLY love some bad
ones. If I could eat fried catfish, cheetos, french fries with a side of
Kit Kat and a big ol' Diet Dr Pepper.... without adding a single pound
or "unhealthy" part to me... you better believe I'll wish for that!
3.) A HUGE music festival with only my favorite artists.
Think
about this, music lovers... can you imagine getting this once in a
lifetime opportunity to hear all your favorite artists (living or
deceased) in one place for however long it might take? Mine would
include (but not limited to) the following:
John
Mayer, Coldplay, Incubus, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Cocker, The
Eagles, Steve Miller Band, Brian McKnight, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, John
Legend, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Jonny Lang,
Robert Randolph & The Family Band, Grace Potter, Dave Matthews,
Blindside, Amos Lee, Jason Mraz, Zac Brown Band, Adele, Ne-Yo, Three Dog
Night, The Rolling Stones, Chicago, Carrie Underwood, Dream Theater,
Deas Vail, August Burns Red, Eric Clapton, Galactic, Garth Brooks, Jimi
Hendrix, ELO, Foreigner, and many others... I think my festival would
last a month :) what a freaking wish, though! :)
So I just may be back to blogging usually :) I've missed it... Plus, there's too much to catch up after 3 months. It's been a summer to remember, that's for sure!
im thankful.
