Was anyone regularly reading? Miss us? Ha.<br />
<br />
We both have some life changes coming that might be interesting to blog about.<br />
Comment if you actually read this thing. Maybe we can find our motivation again!<br />
<br />
PS: GO GREEN!<br />

It will be a nice, sunny day, then start raining sideways out of nowhere. After a hard pour, the rain stops as quickly as it starts. It's been crazy. We had a little mishap on Tuesday night when Mat offered to go for a walk with me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now note, this is a rare occasion. It just doesn't happen. I was really happy, especially because it was around 89 degrees out. We walked to 7-11 in the hot sun, and on the way back noticed that it was looking really, really dark. It wasn't supposed to rain until much later, so I hoped it would just blow past. Nope. It started pouring, I mean really hammering down. We both couldn't see, I briefly lost my left contact somewhere in my eye, and we were instantly soaked. Luckily, we found some shelter with a few other unfortunate people who were out (some were even in a paddle boat on the lake!). One lady decided the rain was better than the rat that scuttled past us, so she booked it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's supposed to be sunny all weekend, and we are planning on being outside a lot at the <a href="http://www.detcityfc.com/great-lakes-txts/">DCFC playoffs</a>, so hopefully that holds true.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway. I'm in a very rambly mood, so bear with me. I feel like I've made some tasty meals lately, so I thought I'd share. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other night, I made these spicy <a href="http://acozykitchen.com/spicy-black-bean-cakes/">black bean cakes</a> from <a href="http://acozykitchen.com/">A Cozy Kitchen</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The picture is hers -- it looks much more appetizing than mine. These turned out awesome! We had really great black beans cakes at a restaurant in Traverse City once. I've tried a couple other recipes, but this one was the best. I love her blog -- visit the site to get the recipe!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the side, I halved and hollowed out some jalapenos and filled them with a cream cheese/feta mix. I roasted them in the oven for about 15 minutes. These also turned out so delicious -- the perfect side.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tonight I made an epic burrito with chicken, black beans, roasted squash, guacamole, cheese, and sour cream. Not the best photo, but it tasted delicious. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check out the shirt and shoes I got from Goodwill last week! The Nikes are practically brand new and cost $5. They also happened to me in my giant size. I don't know what happened but I went up a size in the past year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, I don't know about y'all, but I am dying to see Pacific Rim. I hate paying full price for movies, so we usually go to matinees, but I'm pretty tempted to go tomorrow night. Anyone else going? What's the best movie you've seen so far this summer?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's a lot of words, so I'll leave you with this funny -- albeit blurry -- picture of Wednesday with whipped cream on her nose.... and yes, we've just been hanging out on a sheet on the floor all summer.</span><br />

It is amazing what you can accomplish with some good quality time off. <br />

My husband and I finally got to go see World War Z this weekend, I have been dying to see it! Man o man it did not disappoint! I thought it was a fantastic movie, I felt like my heart was racing throughout the whole movie because it leaves you in such suspense. I also like how different the zombies in this movie were portrayed, as opposed to the slow and dull moving ones you see in shows like The Walking Dead. I definately need to read the book now. <br />

<br />
Thanks to Samsung, I was also able to download the new Jay-Z album for free. Samsung bought 1 million copies of his CD and released those copies early to whoever downloaded the Magna Carta Holy Grail app. I have always been a big Jay-Z fan and I think that MCHG is a great CD. My favorite song as of right now is "Holy Grail" with Justin Timberlake. Jay-Z is definitely a great lyricist, one of the greats, along with Nas, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Eminem, Tupac, the list could go on. I started reading his autobiography Decoded awhile back, and in it he goes into detail about the meaning behind a lot of his lyrics. It is pretty amazing how much thought and symbolism he puts into each song. I think the depth behind his songs often gets overlooked or misinterpreted. <br />
<br />
On another note, I was NOT a fan of Kanye's new album AT ALL. I'm sorry but he needs to fire his producer. I am a big Kanye fan in general, and I get that he likes to experiment with his music and try out new sounds, but I wish the old Kanye would come back. That is just my opinion though.<br />
<br />
Those are just a few of my reviews for now, now I am le tired.<br />
<br />
Good night all :)<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My feast on the 4th came courtesy of my parents:</span><br />

I hope you are all having a fantastic and festive holiday! If I were in Michigan right now I would love to be up north hanging out by a lake and a campfire, I miss those days. In Arizona it has been too hot to even breathe outside, let alone to do something fun outside. But I am looking forward to going to the fireworks on base in a little while. It isn't 4th of July without fireworks!<br />
<br />
For our 4th of July meal, we just got done eating <a href="http://whatsgabycooking.com/cheddar-jalapeno-chicken-burgers-with-guacamole/#.UdWyJetdrrM">Cheddar Jalapeno Chicken Burgers</a>, from the blog What's Gaby Cooking. O-M-G they are delicious! The burger is topped with guacamole and it creates such a great blend of flavors. My husband absolutely loves jalapenos, and anything spicy really, so this meal got 5 stars from him! I highly recommend this recipe, and since we don't have an outdoor grill I used my George Foreman instead and it works just as good. <br />

I am feeling very thankful today. Not only for the freedom and great opportunities this country brings, and the courageous men and women that have fought for it throughout history, but also for all of the innovative, ambitious, and genuinely good people that continue to fight for what they believe in and make this country a better place to live in. Whether it be the kindness of a stranger when you are in need, or the help of local non-profits and organizations that are driven solely by making a positive impact in their community. Those are the people that make this country a great place to live in, and they provide hope for the future. <br />
<br />
I am also thankful that I didn't wake up and post this on the internet today for everyone to see:<br />

I can't believe it's already July. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of my favorite moments of June were having my sister and brother-in-law home, going wedding dress shopping, and of course, my birthday!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My birthday wasn't really that exciting but it included a lot of good food, and I am pretty easy to please in that regard. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, in the morning, for some reason we both felt kind of sick. Mat's passed quicker than mine. We went out for breakfast at <a href="http://eatattoast.com/">Toast</a> where I ordered some amazing bourbon french toast, but I couldn't really eat or enjoy it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next morning my mom and I went out for breakfast and I treated myself to my all-time favorite coffee drink, Biggby's peanut butter cup chill. Do people know about this? It used to be a seasonal drink but then thankfully they decided to make it a permanent staple. However, it's not on the menu. If you haven't had one ... it's basically a caffeinated peanut butter cup.</span><br />

My birthday was yesterday, and I wanted to share something I put together for me to focus on as I enter my late twenties. A "manifesto," if you will, for my 27th year. Here it goes:<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eIvPRATtXx0/UdCEig0OdmI/AAAAAAAANlg/jmID7huqt0Y/s894/manifesto.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: transparent; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eIvPRATtXx0/UdCEig0OdmI/AAAAAAAANlg/jmID7huqt0Y/s640/manifesto.jpg" width="589" /></a></div>

It has been an exhausting week trying to get back in the swing of things, I still feel like my mind is in vacay mode, but really when isn't it. Sleeping in for 2 weeks and relaxing with my great friends and family was wonderful! I definitely did not want it to end. But I did miss my pups very much, 2 weeks is too long to be away from them! I am also thankful that I made it through another plane ride without completely freaking out, I have a huge fear of flying that my husband finds hilarious...men. <br />
<br />
Being back in Michigan always makes me feel as though I never left. Luckily I feel like I am always able to pick up where I left off. It also makes me realize just how much I miss it. Once I start feeling comfortable with being away from home and content with our life here, our trips back home always throw me through a loop and make me miss Michigan again. I cannot wait to move back. Plus, this whole Arizona being 112 degrees thing is not working for me. <br />
<br />
I am just thankful that we got to spend some much needed time with friends and family (although I feel guilty that I wasn't able to spend time with everyone I wanted). As my sister mentioned before, I got to go wedding dress shopping with her (so exciting!) and she looked absolutely gorgeous in everything she tried on. 1 more year to go until the big day! Time for me to start planning her bridal show and bachelorette party... it is never too soon :)<br />
<br />

<br />
We also made a trip to Greenfield Village with our parents (Alex's mom was taking the picture). I haven't been there since I was a little girl, and it is amazing how differently you remember and perceive things when you are younger. I felt like I had deja vu the whole time, yet it all seemed so different from what I remembered. All in all it was a great trip. I felt like I spent most of my time eating, and mainly eating out (not that I am complaining), so for once I am actually looking forward to cooking meals for us. This girl needs to start saving her money.<br />
<br />
If you are a Channing Tatum fan and haven't seen this video yet, I'm going to share it with you. My husband showed it to me and it is pretty hilarious.<br />
<br />
Happy early birthday to my sista, love you!! <br />
<br />
Have a great weekend!<br />

Again, sorry for the lack of posts these past couple of weeks. Jenny was on vacation, and I was just busy. Time is flyyyyying by! It's hard to even remember what I've been doing. Here are some highlights:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Went wedding dress shopping for the first time (more on that later)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chose our cake flavors (also more on that later)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saw <i>This is the End </i>(high-larious)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Played Cards Against Humanity (the best)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ate lots of food (including a cheesy gordita crunch with a Doritos Cool Ranch taco, oh yes)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Took my mom to a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/detroitcityfc">Detroit Citiy FC</a> game</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Went to Mat's nephew's kindergarten graduation, he is growing up so quickly!</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm sure there's more. It's the summer though and I love being busy! It's finally been getting nice and hot here, just how I like it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway. It's getting late. More on the aforementioned wedding stuff to come. In the mean time, here's a story Fox 2 News did on Detroit City FC. You can catch me gettin' down in the background shortly after 0:48.</span></div>

We've just been having too much fun. We will be back to regular posting soon, but in the meantime I thought I'd do my latest Sonic shake review: Peanut Butter and Jelly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was my favorite shake yet! The sweet + salty combo is just perfect. The "jelly" favor is strawberry, and you can tell that they use real strawberries, as opposed to a strawberry syrup. It was delicious. I slurped it right up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's officially summer!

I have definitely been enjoying my vacation, 1 more week to go! I am very lucky to get to spend today at home with my dad! He is an amazing father and I am so blessed to have him in my life. <br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Postal Service and <i>Give Up </i>are definitely in both my top five favorite artists and favorite albums lists, respectively. I love them so much and having the chance to finally see them was amazing. The night didn't go <i>quite</i> like I planned but they put on an incredible show all the same. </span><br />

This weekend was no exception, except I was too busy shoving food in my face to remember to take pictures.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Friday, after work I headed with my mom and Jenny's mother-in-law to the airport to pick them up! Afterward we had dinner at Cracker Barrel and then I came home to watch the US beat Jamaica whilst in a food coma.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday, Jenny and I went for a walk and out for crepes -- I went all out with peanut butter, banana, and nutella and an iced french toast latte. Then later on we went to a cousin's graduation party, and later in the evening I went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Az4Htfc_F3Q/UbUdUNQcvbI/AAAAAAAAMik/QblJeaJ_mdk/s1600/1E39919E-FB50-4C0B-B69A-57217E4BE6E5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Az4Htfc_F3Q/UbUdUNQcvbI/AAAAAAAAMik/QblJeaJ_mdk/s320/1E39919E-FB50-4C0B-B69A-57217E4BE6E5.JPG" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This morning, we woke up bright and early(ish) to go to the <a href="http://detcityfc.com/">Detroit City FC</a> game.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--aGMJYTRGRY/UbUeqOxY2aI/AAAAAAAAMi8/1PeNqK_CsqI/s1600/D724D89B-9F54-4FE8-B86C-CFBF4D7FEBF1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--aGMJYTRGRY/UbUeqOxY2aI/AAAAAAAAMi8/1PeNqK_CsqI/s320/D724D89B-9F54-4FE8-B86C-CFBF4D7FEBF1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also got some delicious mac 'n' cheese from the <a href="http://www.macshackmichigan.com/">Mac Shack</a> at the game. Mat got "Cheech's Trip" (chorizo, jalapenos, cilantro) and I got the City FC Chicken (chicken, habanero sauce, shredded cheese). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I am eating a bowl of ice cream and mentally preparing for the Game of Thrones finale. Tomorrow we are going to see the Postal Service (!!!), and then the rest of the week I will hopefully get in more sister time!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since Jenny and I forgot to get a picture of us together this weekend, here's one from her bridal shower:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This stuff is a lifesaver. I didn't have a chance to wash my hair last night (after also not washing it on Monday night) and my hair looked better than ever today. With other dry shampoos that I've tried, my hair would still look greasy. There is no grease and it adds so much texture. It also makes my hair look a little bit lighter. I am obsessed -- <i>and</i> it's cheap! I kind of never want to wash my hair again.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm still reeling over Game of Thrones<i> </i>(and still laughing at @<a href="https://twitter.com/RedWeddingTears">RedWeddingTears</a> - click only if you've seen/read it!), but I am getting so excited for True Blood!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tried a Sonic Peanut Butter and Banana shake last night and it was delicious. I love bananas but hate banana flavoring -- they use real bananas and there were chunks of banana in it. Sonic also has the best whipped cream!

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And perhaps most importantly ... we found a DJ for our wedding!! That was the last big thing really, so it feels like a relief! Although we do still need someone to do the ceremony. It's funny, I'm the least worried about that, but it's probably the most important detail, ha. </span></div>

I am very excited because my countdown to vacation keeps getting smaller and smaller! I must admit something though, I have a terrible fear of flying. I have a lot of fears, but flying is definitely up there. I'm not exactly sure where this anxiety towards flying stems from, and at this point I have flown over a dozen times, yet I still grip the seat until my knuckles turn white during take off. I am hoping to try reverse psychology on myself though. I am going to tell myself over and over again this week that I love to fly, and hopefully I will trick myself into actually believing it. Worth a try right? Luckily, the reward of being <strike>home</strike> (I still call it home even though I don't technically live there anymore) in Michigan for 2 weeks is more important to me than being nervous for a 4 hour flight.<br />
<br />

<br />
As excited as I am though, there is a small part of me that always gets slightly sad (not quite the right word but I can't think of anything better) about being in Michigan again, because it reminds me of how much I have missed out on over the years. Yes I try to keep in close touch with my family and friends, but it still doesn't change the fact that we have missed many important moments in their lives, many events that we can never be a part of again. The hardest part about going home this time is knowing that my Grandfather is no longer there. He passed away a few days before Christmas this past year, and I was unable to attend the funeral or be there for my family on that day. Being back is going to serve as a strong reminder that he is truly gone, and the house my father grew up in, the house that was such a big part of my childhood, is no longer there for me to visit. Something I have to come to terms with.<br />
<br />
I am very excited to spend some quality time with my friends and family again though, and to try to put my worries and stress aside for a brief period of time. <br />
<br />
Have a great night!<br />

June is my favorite month, but I may be a little bit biased -- it is my birthday month, after all. But it's also the official start of summer and just a happy month all around. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">May was fun too, as we unofficially kicked off summer and started filling our weekends with plans, but the best part was definitely this past week. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had Monday off for Memorial Day, and then on Tuesday we went with Laura of <a href="http://gingerbloom-y.blogspot.com/">Ginger Bloom</a> and her husband to see Of Monsters and Men!</span><br />

I try to maintain this obsession within my means though, darn student loans are preventing me from being the Carrie Bradshaw fashionista I wish to be. Every morning as I struggle to pick out what to wear, I never seem to like anything I own anymore, I dream about having one of those fabulous closets that you see on Cribs (or used to anyway, I'm a little old school) and an unlimited bank account to spend on beautiful clothing. I am sure that most girls share in this dream, because to me the right outfit can make or break how I am going to feel for the day. How you choose to present yourself everyday also shares with the world a lot about your personality. So Until I make it big, or win the lottery, I will continue to browse clothes online, fantasizing about filling my closet with all of my favorite things.<br />
<br />
Below I shared with you some of my favorite finds of the week. I am absolutely loving the chevron trend that is going on right now, whether it be through clothing or household accessories, I can't get enough! <br />

Every year, I like to make a list of things I'd like to accomplish during these few short months of bliss. I started doing this when I was young and still had summer vacations. My goals are never anything complicated, just things I want to do to make the most of the season!</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are my goals for 2013:</span><br>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dye my hair - My hair is blonde but I'm contemplating bleaching the ends for summer ... just wish it was longer :(</span></li>
</ul>
<ul><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P1-XZDVZrCg/UWBwcAGY73I/AAAAAAAAH7k/EuKnTEqCU44/s1600/2B85036E-0C47-49E8-8421-FC5B69B94389.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P1-XZDVZrCg/UWBwcAGY73I/AAAAAAAAH7k/EuKnTEqCU44/s320/2B85036E-0C47-49E8-8421-FC5B69B94389.JPG" width="320"></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo from my birthday last summer</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get a new tattoo - I need to save for our wedding, but my friend and I are possibly planning something, and the thought is just so tempting!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Book a wedding DJ - Hopefully this one will be knocked off the list very soon</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Try a new restaurant - Actually did this Saturday night, but let's try another one! ;)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Go to the beach</span></li>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Read! - I am the worst at reading. I have so many books that I've bought or received as gifts over the past couple of years, and I haven't even read them yet. I am determined to read this summer! First order of business: finish <i>The Walking Dead</i> vols. that I have. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Start my cross stitch - Yet another thing that I wanted to do and still haven't done. After I expressed in interest in learning how to cross stitch, my oh-so-kind fiance bought me a kit for Valentine's Day ... of 2012. I honestly want to do it, so I am going to make the time!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reorganize my closet - Every morning, I come down with a bad case of "I don't have anything to wear," despite having two closets, a clothing rack, and a dresser full of clothes. I need to reorganize everything to make it easier to see what I have and put all of my work clothes together. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">List all of our shirts on Etsy - we were doing good for awhile, but lately have been buying more than selling for our <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/thriftyoutfitters">Etsy shop</a>. I want to try to finally list everything we have.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Go out for brunch - I originally had this as go out to breakfast, which I love to do but don't do often enough - but I've never done a proper brunch (and by proper, I mean "with a Blood Mary").</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Go to <a href="http://www.detroiteasternmarket.com/">Eastern Market</a></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clean my car (inside and out)! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Go to the Royal Oak Flea Market</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eat at a food truck</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hang out with friends - Sounds easy, but sometimes it is easier said than done! I need to make the extra effort.</span></li>
</ul>

I can't say that our Salt River tubing trip was successful, but it was definitely eventful to say the least. I will spare you the drunken, cold, painful details. However, the silver lining from the whole trip was having a good excuse to be lazy the next day with my husband and watch movies/Netflix all day! We took my sister's advice and started watching Hemlock Grove. The first few episodes are incredibly confusing, but also intriguing at the same time. It is one of those shows (like LOST for example, ohh what a love/hate relationship we shared) where you continue to watch just to figure out what the heck is going on. I do recommend it as well though!<br />
<br />
Yesterday I pretended to be domestic and I baked some peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread. It is as delicious as it sounds! I typically just like to stare at pictures of food on Pinterest and imagine making it, but I thought that it was time to actually go through with it. What do ya know, it was well worth the effort! I would show you a picture of how mine turned out, but this looks prettier. <br />

Today I also came across this great and informative article on clean eating by Military Spouse Magazine. It specifically talks about the types of food you should be buying from the Commissary if you live on a military installation. If you are interested you can read the article <a href="http://www.militaryspouse.com/articles/clean-eating-how-to-navigate-the-commissary/">here</a>. <br />
<br />
I am excited to announce that my husband and I will be in Michigan next weekend for a nice, much needed, vacation! We will be home for 17 glorious days. I am so excited and definitely counting down the days, it doesn't help that I have already checked out of work though. Green grass and fresh dustless air here we come!<br />
<br />
Enjoy the rest of your week!<br />
