So, anyway, the reason why I went off on that tangent is because I am currently sitting on my couch, feet propped up on the ottoman, sipping on some water, and and I completely exhausted. Perhaps I putt a few too many items on my to-do list for this weekend, but gosh-darn-it, it just felt so good checking all of those things off my list haha. Aside from the usual weekend duties (laundry, groceries, tidy-ing up the apartment a bit) I planted some pretty little plants on our balcony to add a pop of color to our view, organized & cleaned out our pantry (been needing to do that for a looooong while now), bought & installed a dustbuster (I'm a bit overly excited about a hand-held vacuum, I think), got my oil changed, returned some things at stores all across the town (ended up making some money out of it too... woot!), & completed a fun little craft project to go along with my friend's bachelorette gift. I'd say it was a pretty productive weekend :) And with that, I'll leave you with a picture of my "garden" thanks to my handy little checklist :)

Weekend Projects
I just downloaded an iPhone app recently called "Checklist," for making - you guessed it - checklists haha. Now, granted, I know I could just use the handy little "Notebook" app that comes with the phone to jot down things that I need to do, but what I love about the "Checklist" app is that it gives you the ability to literally check off things that you have completed from the list :) The organizational side of me has always loved making pretty little lists, so now that I can do this on my phone, my life seems complete... funny how the simplest things truly do make me happy haha.

Why hello there, 2012!
Somehow, since my last post, FOUR MONTHS have gone by! How the heck did that happen!? I suppose my own slacking combined with the fact that time has gone by at lightning speeds could be to blame. I honestly don't even know where to pick up from where I left off because so much has been going on since then, but I'll give it my best shot (with an itemized list lol)!
1) Braya came down to sunny Florida to spend Thanksgiving with us.
2) We headed up to Alaska at the beginning of December to visit family and play in the snow.
3) Baton Rouge was our Christmas destination where we spent some time with family & friends & made our rounds to all of our favorite spots.
4) Sayre finally got to see Wicked the Broadway play with me when it toured here in early January 2012 (It was my 3rd time seeing it and was just as incredible as the first!)
5) We became the proud owners of some cute little sugar gliders that we named Moosey & Roxy in February.
6) March brought some more visitors our way - Trina, Charlie, & Braya came to stay with us for a week during which we explored Disney World & Cumberland Island with them and met up with some of their dear friends formerly from Alaska.
7) I went home for a quick trip to attend my friend Ashley's bridal shower.
8) We rounded out the end of March by participating in the Warrior Dash - an awesomely fun (and muddy) 5k obstacle course race that we absolutely can't wait to do again sometime!
It really has been a great year so far! Sayre and I have been doing our best to pack our weekends with as many adventures as we can :) In fact, the above is really just a small sampling of highlights of all of the things we've been doing lately. We've really been so blessed with some great times with family and friends over these past few weeks. Our main goal of 2012: enjoy every minute.
