</div><div style="text-align: center;">And this is what I'd be wearing if that money tree would <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">EVER</span></span> start growing in my yard! :) Or of course if I could pick the right PowerBall numbers! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pxSQTTdJ65g/TfkAlEas_DI/AAAAAAAABjI/I5vs3tH-kNM/s1600/Recently+Updated73.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pxSQTTdJ65g/TfkAlEas_DI/AAAAAAAABjI/I5vs3tH-kNM/s640/Recently+Updated73.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">{</span><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/162181"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">dress</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">}{</span><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/108619"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">bikini</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">}{</span><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/110831"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">hat</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">}{</span><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/106932"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">earrings</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">}{</span><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/101856"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">sandals</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">}</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I just love how the dress is a perfect cover-up but also totally acceptable for a casual outdoor BBQ when just a bikini wouldn't do! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Instead of sharing what I'm currently loving, I'm linking up with Jillian over at <a href="http://www.cornflakedreams.com/">Cornflake Dreams</a> and sharing my Summer Bucket List. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think this is just the <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">BEST</span></span></i> idea ... After all, don't we all think that summer moves <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">MUCH</span></span> too quickly?! I know I do! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So B and I made a Bucket List of sorts for all the things that we<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><i> REALLY</i></span> want to be sure to do this summer ... It's a good reminder to focus less on the ho-hum of everyday of life - bills, groceries, cleaning, etc - and to focus more on doing fun things that are just for us! :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our Bucket List: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpqMLYtrlpj5WrIpAXa_4vf83rYSpMoz8cvvvE4jE6Jp8kn2tQMrmgAvTw4DsPEqXgVMCalSIjA9-s9O3wed19jIDKTeYZrZFFy3dOG5WVxWWY5iuV7PHahxokb0PHygH6qKi4dtTR8dA/s1600/Recently+Updated71.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpqMLYtrlpj5WrIpAXa_4vf83rYSpMoz8cvvvE4jE6Jp8kn2tQMrmgAvTw4DsPEqXgVMCalSIjA9-s9O3wed19jIDKTeYZrZFFy3dOG5WVxWWY5iuV7PHahxokb0PHygH6qKi4dtTR8dA/s640/Recently+Updated71.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">~ read more: this one's actually all mine ... B hates to read! But I love too and really want to try to read as much as possible this summer ... less flipping channels and more flipping pages! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">~ visit Charleston: as much as we are loving our new home, we definitely both miss Charleston {I swear the city steals your heart} and we are so ready to visit again! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">~ book a vacation: we're hoping to take a vacation with some of our friends this Fall, but it seems that 'life' keeps getting in the way! I'm hoping that since it's on our Bucket List that we'll be sure to book ASAP! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">~ eat local: there's no better time to buy local veggies than the summer! and I plan to buy/cook/eat as many local products as possible this summer! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">~ start training: again, all me! I have been saying for a couple of years that I want to run a 1/2 marathon and I'm determined to start training and complete one THIS YEAR! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So that's ours! What's on <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">YOUR</span></i> Bucket List?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gabe and I were married on July 17, 2010 in a beautiful Catholic Church that is in the neighborhood we both grew up in (yes, we grew up on the same street :) ). We had over 400 (we both have huge Italian families) of our closest family and friends there to celebrate with us. Along with 11 bridesmaids, 11 groomsmen, 2 jr. bridesmaids, a ring bearer, and a flower girl. We had a FULL house!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjubVIhwSX9dCWs8_hhGj-4N_WZsd53jyuznE2WVcL6YkVMLtSpP4KuBCVTao3no7zKUHzyXdMxfnsZgp_M1hk7338wFEfPArnfmPfmvEfHqgKTUYtXBWsHJkkit7n27OlXpZcb0zLVBkg/s1600/J%2526G+%25282221%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
