Fill in the Blank...Saturday (oops!)

                                                 Lauren over at the Little Things We Do

does a really fun post on Fridays

...however, I missed it so I thought I'd do it today:o)

Hop on over to join in!

1. A very nostalgic place that reminds me of being a kid is Longwood Gardens. We lived just 5 minutes away from this beautiful landmark and had season passes every year. Almost every night, after dinner, my family and I would walk around the gardens. I would sometimes pretend that it was my very own backyard:o)

2. If someone really wants to show me how much they love me they would just tell me. I take a person's word to heart and I truly believe that you should say "I love you" unless they really mean it.

3. Lately I've been wondering a lot about just life in general. Nick's grandmother passed away this week and from talking with him about arrangements, it really put things in perspective for me. I met his Mom-Mom at their family Memorial Day picnic this year and just 3 months later, she passed from cancer. You never know when your time is up, therefore, its very important to live each day as it's your last and tell those you love just how much they really mean to you.

4. When it comes to saving money I am both good and bad. I like to set goals and keep them in mind when saving. For instance, I would LOVEEEEEEEE to get that new Longchamp handbag BUT I really need to save for an apartment. I do like to treat myself once in a while though:o)

5. I'd prefer a mellow night at home over a night out at the bars anyday! Now don't get me wrong, I am the furthest thing from a "home-body" but lately I've been over the whole bar scene. I love my nights out every now and then, especially with my favorite girlfriends or my wonderful boyfriend for a date night, but on a Friday night you'll more than likely see me cooking a great dinner at home and watching a movie or sitting outside with a drink in my hand!

6. I wish I knew how to make clothes. I always look through magazines to get really neat ideas but then I have to pay someone to make them for me:o( It would be a great sense of accomplishment if I could learn how to make a sewing machine and make all of the clothes that I'd love to see in my closet!

7. I'm just waiting for this coming Thursday! Nick is working in New Jersey this week at the Long Branch office (luckily I am off on Thursday) so I am driving up to visit the beautiful beach there while he works:o) He sent me pictures from his last visit, it looked like an island so I KNEW I had to visit soon! Woohoo!

Have a great weekend friends:o)

*Nick's grandmother's funeral is on Tuesday so I may not be blogging until Wednesday, xoxo*
