Another Year in the Books!

Personal victory last night.. I officially finished scrapbooking 2012!!! That makes me 2.5 years and half of a trip to Europe in 2008 behind! I was able to get 2012 into 2 scrapbooks which made me happy - I'm running out of place to store these quickly!

June Update and Progress Toward Goals

Is anyone else crazy busy this summer?! We are only 17 days into June and it's already been a whirlwind for us.

I spent the first week of the month at a work event in Niagara Falls, NY. We took the group on a tour of the area and it included a ride on the Maid of the Mist - that was my first time riding and it was a cool (and wet!) experience. Crazy how close it gets to the falls!

That weekend I got home was our TWO-year wedding anniversary! Adam and I flew over to the Biltmore on Sunday the 7th and enjoyed the beautiful estate and gardens. I'm also keeping the tradition alive of taking a picture every year with our wedding pic!

We have a big trip coming up soon that I will share all about when we return. Right now it's major last minute planning time and making sure all the reservations are made!! Can't wait for this adventure!

1. Used Up Products:

Only 1 this month! The Victoria's Secret Endless Love shower gel. I'm glad to see this go! I've probably had it for 4-5 years, won't be repurchasing and I still have to use up the lotion!

2. Books & Magazine

16 magazines cleared out this month! I ended up taking quite a few on vacation with us and tossing them as I went - hence the million pics
2 mystery books - 1 from Mary Higgins Clark and 1 written by her daughter, Carol. Ironically, I had randomly grabbed two books to take and they ended up being a sequel! That will never happen again.

Bahama Mama

We just returned from a week in the beautiful Bahamas! We visited 2 islands - Long Island and Harbour Island - and my pilot husband flew us! We had a fantastic trip and can't wait to return to Long Island. It was just too beautiful for words. This was also my first trip with my new camera! I got a Nikon D5300 for my birthday and I'm in love! It takes such beautiful pictures and I've really enjoyed learning how to use it.
