Day 415
...and so begins summer! I didn't realize that I passed over the 400 day mark until just the other day, and I said to myself 'WOW! That sure went fast!'
Summer is always my favorite season; maybe it's because it's my birthday in the dead heat of it. I'm sure of that actually. Maybe it's that I love being carefree and wearing sundresses. {If I could wear anything, it would be a sundress and a hat.} Maybe it's that everybody just seems happier with a little sunshine and a tan. I guess there are a lot of reasons why I love these next few months but I am sure of something, they always fly by.
Chris and I have been quite busy with some household projects that had been placed on the back burner for quite some time. We've been trying to downsize our wardrobe {yes, I said downsize} for sometime now and last weekend was THE weekend. Over the past 6 months, we've been donating our clothes to the Goodwill. We've accomplished our donations with over 30 bags filled to the brim and washed EVERY single item we owned. We still had a large wardrobe after the downsize so we purchased a new wardrobe from Ikea to fit everything in it. This was Chris' idea {you're thinking, yeah right} to buy this thing... and after a full weekend of screwing, hammering, shifting, nailing and hauling we finally got everything in. We're just about to intall the doors to it! If you're wondering if Chris' clothes made it in, yes they did! Our next project is to take our walk-in closet and make half a non-season clothing area and the other half, the shoe closet {HEAVEN!}.
Our beautiful exposed closet... not to worry, the doors are going in this week
A few weeks ago, I had a work road trip to Northern California, and Chris took a day off to go with me. We ventured into San Fran a few nights and crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. I was so excited to drive across this bridge and as a Californian, it was my obligation. It was a little to chilly to get out and walk it but it was pretty amazing. On our last day, we headed to Napa for a few drop offs and a little wine tasting. We stopped at PEJU Winery; it's seriously the best wine ever. We signed back up for our wine club and just received our first box last week.

Peju Winery. I love Napa!
We have a couple things planned in the upcoming month and of course there is carmageddon, where we are not going anywhere... off to ikea to get our last items for the wardrobe and maybe some storage containers for my office {project office begins later this year}.
