Where did you stay and go out (if you went out)? When we went last time we stayed at Chula Vista (we get a great deal on 8 and 14 person condos) and went out to Marley's. We're going to stay at Chula Vista again this time but not sure about going out?

-What has been your favorite day/event of this summer? Oh gosh, maybe Lilith Fair with one of my blog friends? That was SO much fun!
-What are you looking forward to this fall? The clothes, the cooler weather, MOVING, all the fun holidays in the fall.
-Will you be cheering on the Vikings and/or Brett Favre? Nope. Hate football and sick of hearing about Favre,
-If you could get on a plane to anywhere in 10 minutes, where would you go? Jamaica. I could use a margarita and some Caribbean rays right about now!

-What would you change about life right now? I'd be making more money.
-Hold on to the heat as long as we can or bring on the cold weather and hoodies? Bring on COOLER weather. I'm happy without snow and without the heat.
We stayed at the Kahalari and it was really expensive, but worth it beacuse we had so much fun. We went to the bar at the hotel the first night, Nig's the second night and Marley's the third night. Marley's was a little bit too young of a crowd for us (we are 26-30 range). We had a lot of fun at Nig's, it is a whole in the wall bar but we met a lot of fun people there. Have fun!

-What has been your favorite day/event of this summer?
It's a toss up between the family coming Up Here to visit us for a few days this summer, and my dad's side getting together (which rarely happens - geographical constraints) about 2 weeks ago.
-What are you looking forward to this fall?
Getting back into the rink. My skates got a tune up after I discovered one of my blades was mounted incorrectly. New waterproofing and they remounted my blades. They're down in the cities right now, waiting for me to pick them up.
-Will you be cheering on the Vikings and/or Brett Favre?
Big D will. I am originally from WI, so it's hard for me to cheer on the Vikings. I'd rather see teams win that can live up to their hype. And I'm going to laugh my a$$ off at that sideshow of Ochocinco and TO in Cincinnati.
-If you could get on a plane to anywhere in 10 minutes, where would you go? Probably Mississippi. We haven't been for a while, and I love going to visit there.
-What is something new/exciting happening in your life right now?
Big D just started a new job and our new living room furniture arrived!
-What would you change about life right now?
Not much - except we really want to build up some savings. And gut out the bathrooms.
-Hold on to the heat as long as we can or bring on the cold weather and hoodies?
It can stay hot until September 7th, when school starts!
-What has been your favorite day/event of this summer? July 2nd, the day I got married!
-What are you looking forward to this fall? Cooler weather and Halloween!
-Will you be cheering on the Vikings and/or Brett Favre? If they do well, I'm only a football fan on Superbowl day. : /
-If you could get on a plane to anywhere in 10 minutes, where would you go? Texas to see my H
-What is something new/exciting happening in your life right now? Life's going at a steady pace right now, nothing too crazy.
-What would you change about life right now? Having to go to school...
-Hold on to the heat as long as we can or bring on the cold weather and hoodies? Cold weather!!! I love winter.

-What are you looking forward to this fall? Going to Duluth for the first time just me and DH for a get-away, and my aunt and her best friend coming for a weekend visit in October.
-Will you be cheering on the Vikings and/or Brett Favre? I'll be cheering on the Vikings as a whole (going to my first game ever in September), so I guess that means I have to cheer for Favre.
-If you could get on a plane to anywhere in 10 minutes, where would you go? Segovia Spain. I've wanted to go back there ever since I was there 10 years ago. It's the most beautiful place on earth I have ever been.
-What is something new/exciting happening in your life right now? I just passed my national certification exam this afternoon for my nursing job. VERY happy since I worked my butt off to pass.
-What would you change about life right now? Less stress. I'm starting to see the physical issues it's bringing into my life. I'm worn out with DH going back for pre-med coursework in 3 weeks and trying to figure all that out. Med school is just around the corner.
-Hold on to the heat as long as we can or bring on the cold weather and hoodies? I'd be fine with fall weather. Can't wait for the crunching leaves, bon fires, football, crisp air and hoodies!

#1 Congrats on that exam! I know they're tough and I'm not really looking forward to mine that will come some day.
