Our summertime to-do list . . .

I was originally registered for classes this summer, planning to knock out a few credits. (I'm only 18 away! woop wooop!) Instead, Jord & I decided to take advantage of these valuable first months together with a little academic hiatus. We're excited to spend all of June, July & August with no other homework than just being together.

Seeing that it's our first summer as husband & wife, making it memorable is a must! And besides.. this might be the only time we'll be able to take a break like this. Life is about to get real busy for the de Lisles over the next few years with a lot of grown up responsibilities... the last leg of our undergraduate degrees, building MAVIN, working towards our careers, PA school & a potential big move, etc. Then, eventually we'll be too baby hungry to even function normally in society. And we all know that having children fully eliminates any chances of ever 'taking a break'.

This is a rare window & we're ready to live it up!

So in the spirit of 'living it up,' I made a little summer bucket list:
