As of today, summer is officially in full swing! Around the world, people are celebrating the solstice and I'm enjoying my first week of freedom from school. What a perfect day to take a look back at my
Spring Bucket List to see what I accomplished!
1.
Buy fresh flowers for my apartment. Okay, so I didn't actually buy fresh flowers but I updated the faux bouquet that brightens my desk. That totally counts, right?!
2.
Watch a Lansing Lugnuts (the local baseball team) game. Check! A bunch of teachers from the high school where I work enjoyed a Friday night at the ballpark complete with spring weather, beer and hot dogs (of course)!
3.
Drink a cup of coffee or a glass of wine on a patio. Technically this is beer, but again, who is paying attention to the details?! In any case, the patio at The Peanut Barrel is my favorite place to have an outdoor beverage.
4.
Go on a weekend getaway. This really handsome guy and I went to Traverse City, Michigan and the surrounding areas for my birthday weekend. He ran a marathon and we sampled lots of delicious wine. It was the perfect weekend!
5.
Read a book in the courtyard of my apartment complex. I actually enjoyed a book outside on three separate occasions this spring. It might just be the best way to relax.
6.
Try a meal ingredients delivery service. We cooked three awesome meals from Blue Apron and will definitely be trying some more. The one pictured is a Smoked Trout Salad with Asparagus!
7.
Find a new hiking destination for #ourmonthlyhike with my best friend, Nicole. We tried a couple new hiking trails this spring, Woldumar Nature Center being my new favorite!
8. Purge my closet of clothes I no longer love. Nope, I did not accomplish this one. I've been weeding things out here and there but I didn't do the the full closet purge that I intended.
9.
Buy a pair of fun sneakers for the warmer weather. Yes! I'm loving my new Adidas sneakers (and twinning with my boyfriend).
10.
Experiment with a more advanced yoga class. I twisted this one a little bit, too. So I didn't actually try another yoga class but I did take up running again and feel great about my progress. I'd say that's an even swap!
Nine out of ten ain't bad, huh?! Plus I really enjoyed checking these items off my list and the enjoyment each activity brought to my life. Now I'm excited to tackle my Summer Bucket List:
1. Run a 5k.
2. Go camping.
3. Take a boat ride.
4. Try a new grill recipe.
5. Spend a day at the beach.
6. Get a pedicure.
7. Try a new hiking trail (a repeat from my Spring List but you can never explore too many trails!)
8. Buy fresh fruit at a farmer's market.
9. Watch a sunset.
10. Explore a new-to-me city.
