- A Convenient Marriage By Georgette Heyer
- Take 2 Trips (Mexico & TBD)
- Trip 1✔ We went to Cancun in January. This is always a favorite of ours.
- GERMANY!! We were able to get tickets half off by watching for deals. Watch for posts this fall on hiking through the Black Forest, German Castles, and of course great food!
- Trim is about halfway done. To be finished next week.
- With free pop up Zumba classes, sand volleyball, walking, and gardening, we've been able to hit this goal almost every week!
- Since we were able to save up enough already, we are upping our goal a bit to keep us motivated. We aren't aiming for 50% this year because we want to take another trip and possibly start a new home renovation.
- Down around 7 pounds. 70% complete! A major improvement from last month. Still slow going, but slow and steady wins the race, right?
- No progress here yet.
- We might not have hit twice a week, but this last week we were able to push out quite a few posts and videos.
- In case you missed them, here's our latest posts:
- Bath in Pictures
- Pie Crust Cookies
- Harvesting Squash Blossoms and Uses
- We passed!! Glad we won't have to take that one again. Plus, we have official stamps now.
- I have an outline.
- Aiming for mid/end of July. Too many birthdays/parties at the beginning of the month.
- Still haven't started on the trip-- I know I need to get started before we travel again. Though I didn't make one for Cancun this year either (so behind).
- Wedding photo book should arrive next week!
- Visited Sibley State Park and got to try out the local Brewery & Winery along with some hiking, roasting marshmallows, and hurriedly packing to beat the storm on Sunday morning.
- Still looking around for what we want to build.
