Summer plans?

Anyone have any exciting plans for the summer?  Since I have like negative 40 vacation hours to make up from the HM, I need to live my summer vicariously through yall.  What are you guys getting into?  We'll probably just do a lot of grilling out at the house... go to the lake... lots of R&R

Re: Summer plans?

  • Finish up stuff around the house in preparation for soon-to-commence baby making!  We finally bought end tables & a coffee table for the livingroom this past wknd and they'll get delivered this week.

    I'm heading out to Napa Valley & San Fran for a few days over the 4th of July long weekend - DH is out there now on business and I'm meeting him out there rather than him fly home this wknd so we can do some fun things for the holiday. We're doing a Wine Train on the 4th where they serve you dinner and drive you around and see the fireworks from the train!

    We'll head to Newport later this summer for a wknd where my friend will be skydiving to celebrate her birthday. (I'll be staying on the ground to watch! and then we're all having lunch)...

    So that's our plans. :-)

    This, exactly!  I'm looking for teaching jobs, and their are pretty much no openings around here.

  • Oh, and I'm also dragging Adam to a Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton concert, but that's at the VERY VERY end of summer (if it's even considered summer)

    And hopefully we'll get in some camping :) Money's a bit tight this year so I don't think we'll be going anywhere exciting. Though if I do the Dash that'll be a little vaca since it's down in Oregon.

  • Nothing big. We're going to hang out with my best friend and her husband on the 4th (partially an avoid-his-mother maneuver, partially a little tradition we're starting with them). We're spending most of our free weekend days at the pool.

    We'll be going to a Toby Keith/Trace Adkins/James Otto concert in August, but Matt doesn't know that yet (it's his birthday present). 

    I want to keep getting the house the way we want it. It's a constant battle! Haha. I'm working on making the bedroom less hostile right now.

  • Uumm we're possibly going camping with my family this weekend for the 4th. If we don't leave Friday night we're going to drive up Sunday and spend the day with them. We're hoping to save up some money and go to the Outer Banks, NC for a long weekend in September. I've only got 1 vacation day left at work though and HH doesn't have any so we'll have to see how that goes. Other than that just working on our house, right now we're working on the flower beds out front. HH is picking up the new dirt to put on top of the weed barrier later so we'll be shoveling dirt tonight lol.

  • holy crap, hayley... that looks totally awesome! I might have to talk DH into doing that with me!

    We're going to our friend's new place for the 4th this year-- where I will be bringing my 5th consecutive Flag Cake and vodka filled watermelon! Then the next day we're all doing a canoe trip up the river together!

    My girlfriend and I have also started Beach Mondays- we're both teachers, so we're off during the summer and now every Monday we're going to drive to the Jersey shore and send our DH and BF mean text messages while they're at work... muahaha! (that's a menacing laugh, btw)

    It's sounds silly, but I'm actually starting to get bored being at home all the time... so MIL gave me a bunch of books, I'm getting out the old canvas and paint, and learning to cook

    Aaron bought me Sugarland tickets for my birthday. He HATES country music! haha.. He won't even listen to them now to get ready for the concert. It's so awesome to know he is doing it all for me. =)

    Adam loves country.  I even convinced him to go to a Taylor Swift concert with me a couple of years ago!!!  I LOVE Blake Shelton though, so I'm super pumped that they just announced him as the special guest with Miranda Lambert!

    EEEEWWWWWWW COUNTRY!!!!!!!! :P

     

    haha it's pretty much the ONLY kind of music I don't like. I refuse.

  • I used to say the same thing, but I actually started listening to it right before I met Adam.  I was strictly a punk rock/alternative girl.... now, I'm just a weird, confused combo!!!
    AlternaTickers - Cool, free Web tickers
  • Yes,  you are VERY confused :P hehe I love tons of music, I'll even listen to CHRISTIAN music and I am so not christian. But country, I just can't do it. Hahaha for our wedding that was the only thing on our do not play list! Oh and Roxanne by the Police because my mom hates it Smile
    Photobucket
  • I don't think we even HAD a do-not-play list.... I think I mentioned no cha-cha slide, but my DJ played it anyway to mess with me.... he's friends with my dad, so he knew I wouldn't get pissed about it.
    AlternaTickers - Cool, free Web tickers
  • Haha It's hilarious, on the etiquette board people would post about how they would freak out and cry if they played the chicken dance at their wedding!!! Like SERIOUSLY? You have nothing better to worry about? I hope their DJs played it anyway.
    Photobucket
  • Yeah, I pretty much came to the conclusion that if someone actually requested a song, just play the damn thing because I wanted everyone to have a good time.  I even got out in the middle of the dance floor and rapped to Vanilla Ice.  Yeah, I'm so awesome that I know all the lyrics to Ice, Ice Baby.... be jealous!  haha

  • Country music is all I listen to! ha ha That and gospel. I can sing almost any country song you throw at me! HH didn't listen to country much before we met. Now thats all he has on his radio!

    Two souls but a single thought; Two hearts that beat as one image
  • LOL that's awesome! I felt the same way, I told my DJ that if someone requests any cheesy songs to go ahead and play em, but if no one requests it, don't play it. Hah back in the day I was working out with a personal trainer at 24 hour fitness and I started rappin along with DMX and he just thought it was the funniest thing ever. I am the whitest white girl you will ever know.

    I'm right there with you, except throw in being uncoordinated and having no rhythm.... When we drove to GA this past weekend, right as we were pulling into the town where I went to college, Tone Loc came on the radio and Adam and I seriously broke it down in the car!  We were dancing like jackasses.  I love that I can be completely stupid with him

  • LOL Matt occasionally starts talking like a black guy from the hood. It's hysterical because he's the whitest white guy you'll ever know (complete with pasty white skin, blue eyes, and a red, curly beard). A lot of his clients want to grow up to be gangstas, so he knows all of the "cool" terminology and gestures.

    I've done something similar called a Muddy Buddy (http://muddy-buddy.competitor.com/) They are a ton of fun!

     HH and I dont really have any set plans for the summer. We are recovering from paying for the wedding so we might go camping or head to the lake a few times. However, now I want to go to a concert! I love country music, especially Texas Country which is a little different than the rest. 

  • We are going to the lake in SC on Saturday. Other than that I'll be taking 18 credits and papercrafting =D
    PhotobucketAnniversary Holiday
  • We don't have grand summer plans either. We'll be celebrating the fourth beginning Thursday at the red, white, & bluegrass festival. We hope to get our house finished within the next month so we can finally move in and we'll be heading to a week long beach trip with my family the third week of August. We're very excited to have another week long vacation to spend with one another.

  • Not much planned for us, either.  We can't go on vacation because we spent too much on the HM!! :)  Basically just trying to do stuff around the house and applying to grad school and nervously waiting for a reply!!  Oh, and working.

  • Our big plans for the summer include our two week HM!  We are doing a cruise through the Mediterranean (Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Croatia).  It is going to be so awesome, I can't wait!

    HH is running hockey camps all over Atlantic Canada for pretty much the rest of the summer, so I may go with him for some of those.  We'll hopefully get to do some camping, and we've got lots of friends who are planning on coming up to visit us from our home province (where I just moved from) to enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful wilderness.  We might do some jetboating, some ziplining, and spending some time at the cottage.  Hopefully I'll get a few trips to the States in to do some good shopping too!  Especially since now I have my new passport!
