SUMMER BUCKET LIST

As mentioned the other day, Matthew and I made out our summer bucket list. It's warming up (kind of, seriously it has felt like spring all week), things at work are slowing down for the both of us, and we have some free weekends on the calendar (thank goodness!!!!) This is my favorite time of the year, and now I'm just waiting on the pool in our neighborhood to open up ;)

One thing that I left off of our list that I should have probably put on there is house projects. I have a feeling a lot of our free weekends this summer will go to projects around the house, and I am not complaining one bit. We are more than ready to get started on them!!

What's on your summer bucket list?

SUMMER BUCKET LIST

FRIDAY NO. 17

Happy Friday!! I am excited for the weekend and keeping my fingers crossed for nice weather. Matthew and I have a long list of things we want to get done around the house this weekend and we are ready to get started on all of it!

A couple of weeks ago I shared with y'all some lists that Matthew and I made. We have decided to go on weekly date nights. Some weeks it will be smaller, such as an ice cream date and some weeks it will be dinner, or dinner and a movie. We decided to try and check off some of the restaurants on our list, and last night we were able to check one off. We tried Mirko Pasta. It's an Italian restaurant, and it was delicious!

 I had the spaghetti with meatballs and Matthew had cheese ravioli with Alfredo sauce. It was SO good, and we plan on going back, and soon!!

We came home and made our a summer bucket list before the Predator's game. I'm so excited to check things off of this list together! Making lists just make me so stinkin' happy. :)

I have been wanting to put two black planters on each side of our front door. I found these on Amazon but they are just a bit out of our price range right now, so I've been doing some searching and found these at Target! Plus we still have Target gift cards left over from our wedding so they will be F-R-E-E! I'm so excited to pick them up today and work on them this weekend.

Have a great weekend!!

FRIDAY NO. 17

-LISTS-

If you have been around here for any length of time then you know I'm an avid list maker. So I think it goes without saying how exciting these were to make. The other night Matthew and I finally sat down and made two lists out. We have been talking about doing this forever, and we finally remembered to write it all down. I guess you could call them bucket lists, since it's a long list and we don't have a timeline or deadline on them. These are just places we want to cross off over time. We have talked about making out a list of goals and places we want to visit before we have kids one day, but we haven't gotten to that list yet.

The first list is on restaurants that we want to try. Some are in Nashville and some are in our town we live in now. I'm sure we'll find more that we want to add to this list, but I am excited to cross some of these off this summer. There are all kinds of restaurants on that list. Some are small burger joints, some are popular tourist places, and some are the higher end steakhouses. A lot of places we won't even go to this year or probably even next year, but like I said, there are no deadlines for these lists. 

The second list is our travel list. We divided it up into day trips and weekend trips. We both got really exited looking things up for these lists, and there are a ton of places we want to go and see over time. One thing we didn't add to this list are bigger vacations. Places that you can't really visit in just weekend, so we'll work on that list soon! It's exciting to think about and I get even more excited when I think about traveling to these places with Matthew. He really is the best friend I've ever had, and I love adventuring to new places with him.

So here are our lists...so far. I'm excited to cross things off and add more places as time goes on!

I found a lot of great idea on Pinterest, and you can see all those on my 'Travel' board and my 'Tennessee' board.

Follow Shelby 's board TRAVEL on Pinterest.

Are there any places we should add to this list? Send any and all suggestions our way!

Fall Bucket List | 2015

I thought I would give you all a break from wedding recaps today and share with you the fall bucket list we made the other day!

We can already mark #1 off as I decorated our place last night! This might just be me but I feel that the very first "seasonal decor" that goes up in a newlyweds home is something that will never be forgotten, at least by the wife. ;) And fall is our first reason to decorate! I'll take some pictures soon to share with y'all.
