Hello + Our Anniversary

Hello, friends! Sorry for the radio silence this past week.  We had a crazy work week and we got a few days away to go to the beach for some much needed family time. 

Before we went to the beach, my parents watched Fiona for the night and Scott and I were able to try a couple new breweries around Raleigh for our Anniversary.  

Our first stop was Gizmo Brew works. 

It was this perfect little Brewery and the beer was great.  If you are ever in the Triangle, I highly recommend visiting this one.  You can't go wrong, they have something for everyone! 

Then we stopped by Lonerider Brewery.  It is one of our favorites here in Raleigh.  If you make it to the Triangle anytime, definitely put it on your To-Do list!  

Hope you are all having a fantastic Monday!  

Friday- I'm in love!

We have some beautiful weather lined up for this weekend and I couldn't be more excited to spend some quality time with my little family! We have a little pool and popsicle action, cool summertime drinks, yummy steaks, house renovations, closet clean outs and maybe even a hot air balloon festival in the works for this weekend, so I'm ready for 5:00 to hurry up and get here!

Fiona's purse(s) are packed and ready to go have a fun weekend! Catch y'all on the flip side! 

Summer Bucket List

With the official kickoff of Summer a couple weeks away, Scott and I sat down and put together our Summer bucket list. 

I am so stoked about Summer this year.  Last year we didn't do much because Fiona was so young, and it was just easier to stay around the house.  The first thing on our bucket list will be to head to the North Carolina Zoo.  As soon as Scott graduates from the Academy, we will start planning our trip.  I want to do that one early in the summer before it gets too muggy out.  Let's see how many we can complete! What are some of your favorite things to do during the summer? 

Dirty Thirty

Happy Monday everyone!! I guess having your birthday on a Monday will surely help it go by quicker-amiright! Here's hoping! However, today started a little scary with the passing of our coffeemaker this morning.  So looks like I'm getting a coffee maker for my birthday! 

We are officially less than 10 days away from the end of the fire academy! #canigetanamen.  And we have a super fun weekend planned coming up!  So despite old Java jim croaking on us, things are looking up! 

We had a rainy but nice weekend over here! Had a nice dinner with my parents Friday night at one of our favorite bottle shops-Lincoln- hence the beards.  

Saturday- we went mower shopping for our Landscaping business.  Check out the Instagram at @atdlandscaping

Sunday- my parents watched Fiona so Scott and I could grab a beer together. 

Enjoy your Monday!! XO
