You'll never guess! (video included)

Do you have any idea what the MR and I did this weekend? Take one guess......Nope, that's not it! The MR and I had our first Trapeze lesson.

When we arrived there we immediately signed a waiver then got started with a mini "how to" course. My first time up the ladder was very challenging due to my fear of heights. I climbed to the half way point, looked down and nearly started to cry. I was terrified! I said to the instructor "I think I'm afraid of heights" and she said "that's okay, don't look down and keep climbing." That was the best thing she could have ever said to me. Once I got to the top I was fine. Well, not completely fine since I knew what was coming next, the jump! I waited for them to strap the MR in and watched him jump. He did very well considering he was just as nervous, which I was surprised to hear. Then it was my turn. I followed the commands, however, I'm not sure if I jumped willingly or if they pushed me. Either way, I made it off the platform and was swinging in the air. I have to admit, I did have a hard time following the "drop" command. I thought they were crazy to expect me to let go of the bar and fall to the net. The net seemed fairly far from me. Their pleading and begging went on for a good minute and a half until I finally let go and landed on the net. I had to realize that I needed to trust these people and if I let my guard down I could potentially become better. Once I finally started to trust them I did get better and was able to fulfill the tricks they were teaching us.

I would do this again in a heartbeat and definitely want to progress. This was by far the MOST exhilarating thing we have done thus far. You have do to it too! We go to bed talking about it and wake up talking about it. It was extremely exciting. Who knows, you may see me in the circus one day!

Below is a video of my final trick.

Blackouts and streaking

I have such a great feeling about this coming weekend. The MR is home ALL weekend which I love and we don't have too many plans. One thing I've realized is that the MR and I are definitely starting to enjoy different things in life. We don't care to join in on the night life as much anymore, but every now and then its fun. We're content at home with each other and some friends, tasty wine, nice music, good conversation and we're always up for an exciting adventure. Our weekend will consist of those elements along with several walks around town, a card game or two, exercise, a friends' comedy show, great food, a family fun BBQ, snuggling, making breakfast, the perfect cup of coffee or tea, lots of laughter and...we're content! So what I'm trying to say is, don't expect me to write a post on Monday about our wild weekend full of blackouts and streaking, at least for this weekend, sorry. However, things don't always go as planned (wink wink).

Slow down this weekend and enjoy the moments.

Life Lesson

I was sitting at the front desk of my office and in walked a cute married couple. They were approximately 90yrs of age, holding hands and smiling. I greeted them and then started up a conversation. I don't quite remember the whole conversation but I do remember one specific part; The wife looked at me and said "At this age, our fun is sitting on the ground, naked, laughing at each other."

At that moment, I realized that they truly enjoy life and they don't take themselves seriously. They had so much spunk and I loved that about them! I hope my husband and I have that same attitude when we grow old together. Well, we kinda do now :)

All About The S'mores!

There's nothing better than lying in bed with my husband when I should be at work. Luckily I work for wonderful people who are very kind to me.

I got off work at one o'clock today when I normally get off at five o'clock. There's something so exciting about being off work when everyone else is still working. It doesn't happen too often but it feels very liberating when it does. I couldn't wait to get home to be with my love. We had a very nice nap, of course I couldn't sleep much, but it was relaxing.

After our nap we decided to coordinate a bonfire with a few of our friends and everyone was to bring specific items. To be honest, my main concern were the s'mores. I wasn't even really concerned if we had wood for our fire >:-) I wanted those damn s'mores! We could have cooked them in the microwave, I didn't care. Of course, the guys were more interested in having enough alcohol. You know, the key things men need to have fun; fire, alcohol, food and a lot of rambunctiousness. We finally had our supplies and were headed to the bonfire. We were at a stop light next to this lady who we thought was listening to "Scrubs" by TLC. I'm still not sure if she was but we started singing it ourselves not realizing we were getting so carried away. About 3/4 of the way through the song, rapping, harmonizing and doing solo performances in the Nissan Frontier, it hit us. We stopped our performance, looked at each other and I said "were we really just singing "scrubs"?" We laughed hysterically!

The bonfire was fun. I got my s'mores :) No one really understood why I like my marshmallows burnt, but what is it to them?! We shared some good stories and when the guys started talking about their nerd gadgets or work, us ladies made sure they knew how boring it was.

I'm so happy it's the weekend! We're going to try and cram as many fun and exciting things into our schedule as possible.

For me, life is about smiling, love and laughter. Life is being yourself, creating yourself and loving yourself. It starts with you! Who cares if others think you're weird. I love being at home with my husband because there is no holding back. I am 100% me; goofy, un-ladylike (at times), immature, emotional and he still thinks I'm beautiful, so he says. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. Enjoy every moment!

Have a wonderful weekend and do something fun that you wouldn't normally do. Step outside your regular routine - You may enjoy it!
