Summer Bucket List

I was gung ho about doing a summer bucket list this year. Its our first summer in the new house and it might be the last summer before we decide to start a family so I really want to enjoy every second of it. To top it off, I’m not teaching this summer so with only one job to focus on I can really relax. I started making a summer bucket list and the ideas just started flowing. I am challenging myself to try to enjoy each of these activities at least once this summer.

One of the things that really inspired me was looking at some old photos of all the fun we used to have. This one is of John and I at the Michigan Summer Beer Festival from 2007 before we were engaged. So my goal this year is less stress/more fun!
