Another Item Down

Knocking things off of this bucket list is WAY fun! Today we eliminated ...

#8. Take a shopping spree & buy each other something nice

I did the smart think and let Josh pick first. He chose some sweet new shoes for work! 

 

Once Josh picked out his pricey kicks, it was my turn! && since clothes from my favorite store Forever21 aren't nearly as pricy as new Nikes ... My loot is MUCH larger :)

It was so nice to go shopping without a cause and just meander through the stores for a while. We even met family for lunch and then treated ourselves to a movie {Snow White & the Huntsmen is AWESOME}. 

Days like today remind me how important it is to keep dating after marriage ... breaking out of the norm and doing something different {even something as simple as a shopping trip} bring us back to reality and remind us of how much we actually like each other :) 

Sincerely, 

Mrs. L

There is a new stylist in town

Checking things off the bucket list is turning out to be more fun that we thought!
We are quite proud of our progress & thought we would share pics of our most recently finished task! 

#52. Give each other haircuts

Since I give Josh haircuts on a normal basis & have a full salon setup in the house, I thought this would be a breeze! I'll admit I was a bit scared - but he took it so serious and actually did a good job! The proof is in the photos :) 

I still have hair && after styling it, it still looks good :) 

Definitely not something I would recommend to just any couple, since I'm a trained professional I was able to walk him through it step by step! 

The Modern Day Hunny-Do List

Married life is FUN but it can get a little repetitive ... eat, work, play, sleep, repeat!! So what better way to spice up that boring routine that a fun pre-baby bucket list! 

55 things to do before we even THINK about having babies : )

{you read that right .. pre-baby so NO we aren't expecting! But seriously - we aren't 18 anymore ... its time to start prepping for family time - it will be here before we know it! && since the point of this whole blog is to prove that we were once young & awesome, I think its time we started showing some evidence!}
