Little Blessings

Let me tell you one thing. I married a great guy! Last night we were at Sunday dinner at my family's house and I was one again reminded of that. I love that Zach can watch sports with my dad and brother(s) while I am in the backyard chatting with my sister. It's the nicest feeling in the world that he gets along with my family. I love that. So much.

Summer To Do List

#16. Paint my toenails.

CHECK!

Enjoy

A few things:

I am so so so glad that my mom is a photographer. Zach and I wouldn't have half the pictures of Sophie that we do if it wasn't for her. Last night we took a few and they couldn't have turned out cuter. Take a look for yourself.

On another note, we have a darling neighbor who let us borrow some movies the other day. I am not a huge movie person but I ABSOLUTELY LOVED both of them SO MUCH! I HIGHLY recommend both of them. Check out the links below and watch the trailers. You won't regret it.

Give those a watch when you have a second. You'll be glad you did. Well, think that's all for now. I'll be back later. XO

Book Recommendations

In order to accomplish #8 on my summer list I am going to need some good book recommendations. I heard "Tuesdays with Morrie" is good but other than that I have nothing and I wanted a list to choose from. What are your favorite reads?

Summer To Do List

I love lists as some people may know- shopping lists, grocery lists, to do lists, and lists in general. I thought it was about time I get my summer list going before summer passes me by.

1. Hike Mount Olympus. I've wanted to do this for years and never have.
