Summer Bucket List

With summer quickly approaching, I've been thinking about all the things that I want to do/accomplish. Its going to be a crazy summer with the upcoming wedding! Fiance and I are getting married on July 31, 2010 - so there is still a lot of things to get done! I like to take a little bit of time before the summer and set goals and think about all the things I want to do before the summer ends and the snow falls again.

The summer is going to be kicked off in true wedding fashion - my shower/bachelorette party combo is Memorial Day weekend. Its going to be the perfect opportunity to see all of my family and friends in one sweet sweet weekend. I am really looking forward to it! The best part is.. I just have to show up and delight in the fact that I get to see everyone I love!! Fiance will be there too.. I've talked him into being my sidekick for the drive, and keeping me company while we open gifts. My mom and his mom have been so wonderful, and with how excited they are.. I'm sure it will be a fabulous party!

After the fab summer kickoff, I'll have to shift my focus to something not as great... moving! Fiance and I have put in an offer on an AWESOME condo in downtown Minneapolis - the only bad thing is... its a short sale. So we've been waiting.. and waiting.. and waiting. While we have been waiting, my lease has come to an end..and so at the end of June, I move out from living with my best friendy and move in with my fiance and his 2 roommates (his lease isn't up until Sept). Should be an adventure for sure...and I'll def. have much more to share about the whole situation! Good thing I grew up with brothers! I suppose it will give me an excellent reason to clean out my closet(s)- don't want to lug all to storage.

Keep your fingers crossed we get this place and all of it is worth it!!

Okay.. so on to the bucketlist:

-Get over my fears of being the center of attention and just love on this fabulous wedding shower. I know I'm blessed, and that is what matters.

-Enjoy the bachelorette party night and remember how very very lucky I am to have such FABULOUS friends!

 -Spend some quality time with my little sister (BBBS) Karlen and strengthen the relationship with her before I take off on a wedding/honeymoon extraveganza!

-Keep some flowers alive for more than a week.. strengthen that green thumb I so long to have.

-Camping at least 2x this summer.. make sure fiance gets a chance to enjoy the great outdoors and just love life.. forget any stress! And we will get to use that screened-in room I bought him last yr. for his bday!

-Throw fiance a great 25th birthday party with all of our friends here, because we will be on an airplane for his actual bday..

-Train for the triathlon in August and beat my times from last year.

-Take a girls roadtrip to Chitown with Jess to see Lynsey & Paige.. have Annie meet us there.

-Explore more of Minneapolis!

-Get to a Farmers Market on as many Saturdays as I can

Okay... thats all for now.. but hopefully it is shaping up to be the best summer ever... so far.
