We finally have some warm weather and I think Summer has arrived in CT! We had what felt like a month of nothing but rain or rain threatened in the forecast everyday, it was miserable! But this coming week looks gorgeous (70 degrees + everyday!) and is really getting me in the mood to start planning things to do over the next few months. Rich's work schedule is pretty much set through the end of August right now which makes things way easier on me with scheduling things to do here at home and also squeezing in a few trips. Here's a few things we have on the agenda so far:
1.) We are going to see The Naked and Famous in concert. I'm super excited for this since their song "Young Blood" plays in our wedding video, plus we love listening to their Pandora station when were cooking dinner or hanging outside having a fire.
2.) We have a trip planned to Greenville, South Carolina. Rich's sister and her family moved there from Atlanta about a year ago and they love it. Rich has been down twice and seems to think I will fall in love with it immediately. I'm pretty excited to check it out as I've only heard great things about how up and coming it is and who knows, maybe the Slade's will make the move down South if it's a good fit?!
3.) We're going to start our biggest project yet here at the house -- a major addition! I have more details about that in an upcoming post but we're SO excited to start this project. Rich is going to schedule enough time so that himself and his employees can do this project like an actual job for Made by Slade, so that means it will get done fast (he estimates about a month or so) and without interruptions of other work.
4.) Our FIVE YEAR wedding anniversary is in September....whattttttt! I can't believe it's been five years, I seriously can't wrap my head around it. It honestly feels like yesterday and I feel like I still remember every detail and feeling of those few days with all of our friends and family in San Diego. To celebrate the big 5 we're heading back to California, naturally. We're going to fly into SD then drive out to our fave place, Palm Springs for a few days. We got an Airbnb which will be our first experience with staying in one so I'm really looking forward to making ourselves at home in the desert. Then it's back to San Diego for a couple of days to stay at the Andaz (where we got married) and hit up some of our fave spots (La Jolla, Coronado, Pacific Beach).
5.) In between our bigger events/projects/trips there are little things we want to do. I want to get to the beach in our town more than we usual do, which is never so even if we go once that will be enough! I also want to entertain out in the backyard more. We bought a great new dining table from Joss and Main and I want to make sure we get lots of use out of it! Planning a few day trips and overnight trips (suggestions welcome!) is also something I want to do because as much as we love hanging out at home, it's always good for the soul to pack a bag and get out of town, even if it's just for 24 hours.
How about you? Anything exciting planned? Hope so!
