I'm starting something a little new...

Gosh, do you feel like everything is new around here?

I have a lot of 

ideas 

thoughts

jokes 

{not necessarily funny}

criticisms 

and so on...

that, to be honest, can drive my husband a little crazy! lol!

So, y'all get to hear it ...

You know, making that list wasn't as hard as I thought it would be ... I guess because deep down, we are all somewhat selfish. I know I can be at times, anyway. I tell my husband all the time,

I wanna travel more...

I wish I had this...

My life would be so much easier if I had...

How cool would it be to do that...

At the end of the day, though, I have a pretty fantastic life!

My family and I are so blessed, I am in awe of it!

And, although I would LOVE to scratch all 31 things off my bucket list,

if I didn't, I couldn't help but still feel happy and fulfilled!

I guess that's what they call

contentment!

:)

Y'all have a great holiday weekend! I'm off on another trip to the Sam's ... another fabulous seashell wedding cake is in my near future!
