Summer 2014!

Wow, I can't believe tomorrow is the first day of Summer! Why is it that time just flies by now that I am older? It's crazy to think that this will be the first summer in my entire 28 years of living that a beach is more than a 30 minute drive away! When I think of summer, I think of days laying out on the beach or by the pool. I think of BBQs with family and friends. I think of long days and fun nights. But this summer will be a little bit different. I am living in Colorado and I am feeling very land locked. So what is a girl to do? 

Here are the very exciting things that I will be doing this summer:

1. Work Out - I have recently started to take yoga classes at a studio and I am loving their Sculpt classes. They are yoga classes with weights added. I always leave feeling a million times better then when I walked in. I might even try cross fit! 
2. White Water Rafting -  This one has been on my list since I moved to Colorado last August and it will get done this summer! 
3. Hike a 14ner - Most likely it will be Pikes Peak and to prepare for this one, I will be getting out as much as possible and hike trails all around Colorado. 
4. BBQ - Joe and I BBQ year around, so I am sure this summer will be no exception. I love to grill just about everything! I will also use this one as an excuse to have friends over :) (I am looking at you Mallory)
5. Go to Jazz in the Park - Every Sunday in Denver they have Jazz in the park. I have heard that it is a ton of fun, filled with music and wine. What more do you need?
6. Horse Back Riding - My newest hobby is going to the barn and riding Kit! I have been having so much fun and I can't wait to spend my summer days at the barn! 
7. Be a Bridesmaid -  My best friend Brittany is getting married this July and I am honored to be apart of her special day. 
8. Plan my Wedding - I really hope I can get most of the planning done by the end of this summer! 

This summer I just want to spend as much time as I can outside with people that matter. I want to truly enjoy Colorado and everything that it has to offer. Although it is not the beach filled summer that I am use to, I am sure Joe and I will find a way to make it a memorable summer! 

What are your summer plans?

Do you have any suggestions on things to do in Colorado?

Weekly Wishes

I am not sure how I stumbled upon this link-up, but I love the idea! I just started following Melyssa from The Nectar Collectives and I am exited to join in the weekly link-up! It gives me the perfect Monday morning blog post and opportunity to write down a few things that I would like to accomplish this week.  

This Week's Wishes

1. Go to yoga 4 times- I just joined a new yoga studio, so it would be great to keep at it and use my membership! I love the feeling after my practice, but I must admit that I am not always the best at sticking to it. 

2. Run 16 miles - This week marks week 2 of my half marathon training. According to my Nike+ app, I need to run 16 miles this week to stay on track.

3. Wedding Planning - I wish I was the type of girl that had my wedding planned out since I was 5, but I am not. I have been dragging my feet and it is time to make some serious choices. 

4. Clean out my closet - I have a serious shopping issue, yet I always "never have anything to wear". Joe just washed a ton of clothes and folded them and I need to put the clothes away, but I don't have any room. So I need to clean out my closet and organize it!

I have feeling that these 3 things will be on my weekly wishes list often, but they are all important and I need to start somewhere right? Head on over to The Nectar Collectives and link up you Weekly Wishes!

What's on your to-do list this week?

Any closet organization tips?
