Perfect Balance

      Life right now is the perfect balance between hectic and quiet. I love being able to catch a matinée with friends and enjoy a nice restaurant dinner on the patio then get home in time to take Charlie on a long walk and catch up on some of our favorite shows. My husband and I are quite opposites about enjoying down time. So a balance of goings-on is a perfect combination. I know life will not always be like this so I am enjoying every second of it.
          I am very detail and list driven. Joe always jokes that I love to talk about lists. It’s partially true.  Many of them are fun lists however. After we get back from our cruise, I will be on summer break until August. I am hoping to make the most of my time off this summer. I created a few ideas of things I think it would be fun to do on the cheap!

Grill out by the pool. 

Hike Umstead State Park.

Ride the trolley pub with friends.

Enjoy a free concert at North Hills. 

Spend a weekday at the farmer’s market

Make homemade ice cream. 

Visit Sunni Skys. 

Try a new gym class. 

Take Charlie to the indoor dog gym.

Try three new restaurants in downtown Raleigh. 

What's on your summer list? Anything I should add? Also, still surviving the EOG's here. We are on day 3 of 5. Whew! I know that both students and teachers are going to be glas when everything is over!
