Herron to Rivera

Schoooooool's out. For. The summmmmerrrr!!  (sung like Alice Cooper, of course) Which is completely irrelevant to my life, but I feel like "summer break" should be an excuse to get some things done around the house that have been on the back burner since this little thing called a "wedding" was the main focus for the past year and a half. We've almost been in our new house for a year now come September, and besides our basic furniture and a few DIYs, the walls are still empty, and we don't have really anything going on in our guest bedroom (besides a bed-baby steps here!), or our study (looks strangely empty without all of our wedding crap!). I'm ready to organize, then re-organize, and organize some more! Thank goodness for my handy dandy pinterest board to keep all of my ideas for me. Trying to actually make use of it, instead of just thinking of it. Actions speak louder than pins, am I right?!  So far, only little touches have been adde...

Or should I say May.... showers .....? And fortunately enough, I have only seen maybe one June bug so far, and it was back in May. Knock on wood. I'm still not used to this bright yellow thing in the sky that gives off heat. 2 months under constant cloud cover and rain/storms/tornadoes/more rain- it's like a whole new world outside! I can't believe it's already June! A summer month, even if it's not "technically" summer just yet. 4 years ago it meant no school for almost 3 whole months, full of days filled with sunshine and laying out by the pool with a good book and drink in hand. Siiiiigh..... ....And back to reality. Here's what I'm hoping to accomplish on my Summer 2015 Bucket List: - Get a tan . Since the wedding, I froze my skin cancer inducing tanning membership in hopes that the months following our Honeymoon would be filled with sunshine and bathing suits. Mother Nature just laughed at me when I thought of that. - Get a snow cone! ...

Happy December (but really, it's already December?!!)! I ALWAYS have this list of things to do inside my head that make this season so stereo-typically perfect, but always don't get around to doing anything and then bam, it's over and gone just like that. I'm really trying to live each day to the fullest and do these types of things, because in light of recent events, life truly is so short and can be gone just like that, and I would prefer to have these memories and feelings of joy and love to have. Cheesy-right? That warm fuzzy feeling that you always get when you see the perfect holiday commercial or movie is exactly what I'm going for, and who said we can't add even more happiness to an already happy life?! Life happens so quickly these days and sometimes we just need to stop and smell the...cold air and apple cider and peppermint and Christmas spirit instead of go, go, go.  Without further ado, here is what I plan (and hopefully achieve) this holiday se...
