Ten-Fifteen

10. Swim

Memorial Day brought together our family, Moni's family, Jade's family and Ginny & Chuck! It also got my mom in the POOL! I don't know how much you know about my mom... but she doesn't often swim. Hahah. So cool to get to all be together!

11. Make S'mores
I don't know if you can tell how incredibly large these mallows are... it's insane! They're called campfire marshmallows or something! The boys really loved them needless to say! 

12. Cookout
I knew this one wouldn't be hard to do seeing as how we cookout all the time. My family can cook! 

13. Sparklers
For my birthday, my parents bought me giant sparklers. They were about 3 feet long! I've always had a really weird fascination with sparklers, and these were the ultimate! I'm glad I got to do them with my best friend, too! 

14. Catch Bugs
Ok, so I didn't actually participate, but the story is so funny that I think it qualifies to get checked off! It was getting dark, and the lightning bugs came out. Peyton wanted to catch them, but we didn't have anywhere to put them except in my mom's empty wine glass! Those little bugs were falling into the leftover wine and getting really fuzzy-minded. Hilarious!

15. Go on an Adventure

I started my babysitting job today. I started out with 6 then down to 4. These 4 and I traveled through the woods to try to find a donkey that lives on the other side of the fence! We did not find him. :(

Five-Nine

5. Go to a Show
Jodie, Jade, Stephanie and I went to see the Alexander Musical, "Dance the Night Away" a few weeks ago! It makes me miss it. It makes me miss performing! It was so wonderful to spend this time with these lovely ladies though!! :)

6. Atlanta Girls Night Out
This weekend, Stephanie, Brittany and I traveled to Opera Nightclub to dance and have a good time. Boy, did I learn some things... Not necessarily things I wanted to know! I love to dance, but I don't know that Opera will be the place I go to from now on. Oh well, it was a great time with some great girls! Learning experience!

7. Concert
Saturday, I went to the Luke Bryan/ Jason Aldean concert with Ryan. I love concerts! Always have! & I love to watch Luke Bryan do anything! Mmmm.!

8. Take a Girl Trip
This week, my mom, Ginny, Jade and I went to California to go to the Ellen show! It was an incredible trip. It's also cool that I got a little bit closer to marking something off of my Bucket List... Going to every state!

9. Watch Sunset
When I first wrote this one down on my list, I never guessed that the sunset I would see would be half as cool! Our plane on Sunday night ended up not taking off until nearly 8:00 in the evening, and as we lifted and headed toward California, we got to watch the sunset over Atlanta from the sky. I have sat here and tried to think of appropriate words to use to describe it. But there are none. I have always been a sucker for sunsets, but this one... it made me really stop and just be. incredible!

You may think that I am doing terribly on my list. Only 9 things done! 91 left. But I have faith. And I am having the time of my life this summer! :)
