Rainy days are good for something :)

As much as I love sunny days, I do enjoy a rainy day every once in awhile, especially when I am home! I feel like rainy days give you an excuse to be lazy!! Or take care of things at home that you've been needing to do...like blog and post pictures! The last three weeks have been very eventful between work, bridal showers, friends visiting us in Ft. Myers, going to Orlando, reunions, and broadway shows! So yes, I have crossed off a thing or two on my Day Zero Project and now it's time to blog about it!

For as long as I can remember I have always promised my sister, Amanda, that one day I would throw her a bridal shower! Well the time finally arrived seeing that her wedding is now only seven weeks away! I am so thankful for the relationship I have formed with my sister over the years, and the fact that I was able to do this for her (many thanks to Anna for helping me host the shower). We decided to have a lingerie shower and had so much fun! Cheese and chocolate fondue were on our menu, along with the most amazing cake I have ever seen! Of course the highlight was her opening up gifts! So here are a few photos from that night:

I found this banner off of Etsy! Isn't it cute?!?

I must say that the cake was my favorite detail from the lingerie shower! Everything was edible!

The bride with her lingerie shower attendees!

The party favors: lavender scented lingerie sachets!

This past weekend Brad and I were able to cross off another item from my list: see a broadway show! We went and saw Wicked at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center in Orlando. The show was truly amazing! Everyone has always said how good it was, but I didn't realize it was going to be that good! I definitely recommend it!

The view of the stage from our seats...not too shabby!

I think my favorite part of this picture is the little girl with her Wicked witch hat!

Between seeing Beauty and the Beast last April, and now Wicked, I think I am addicted to broadway shows! Anyone out there have any recommendations on what I should see next?!?

My 101 in 1001--Day Zero Project

At the start of this year, I found out about the Day Zero Project from my sister, Amy and one of my best friends, Ashley. If you're not familiar with it, it is a challenge to complete 101 preset tasks and/or personal goals in 1001 days (about 2.75 years). I was so excited and decided to start creating my list right away. I felt like now was the perfect time to start: I was getting ready to move, starting a new job, and would more than likely start having more free time on my hands as I move around the US. That and I am getting ready to turn the big 2-5 :) I can't complain too much about my first quarter of a century, I learned a lot about myself, but I am definitely looking forward to the next! I'm ready to live life to the fullest and see what is has in store for me! Well....it took me longer than I thought to come up with 101 things (I will admit that some of my ideas for my list came from others' lists)...but I did it! So, I present to you My Day Zero Project!


Some items are personal goals I want to accomplish, others are tasks I've always wanted to do, and a few are things that I've done before but would love to repeat them! If you clicked on my link above to my list, you'll notice that number 100 is to create a blog to keep track of my project. I think that having a blog will help keep me updated and motivated with my list. I also felt that this blog would be a great place for me to journal about my experiences as I start my travel nursing career! Many thanks to Ashley for helping me set this blog up and get it going!


So cheers to the next 1001 days....and all those that follow! :)
