What would you like to see?

What would you like to see on my blog? I know I have some followers out there but I haven’t been hearing from any of them recently and I am just wondering what my followers think is missing from my blog. Now I’m not promising that I will give you all absolutely everything you want, because it is after all, my blog. I get to decide what I write and put on here.

But I would like to know what I can do to keep you, my followers, coming back to read more. I enjoy writing and connecting with people. I follow so many blogs that I really enjoy reading and I kind of feel like I know them, when really I don’t know them other than their picture and words.

So please leave me a comment or email me at IdolFan2890@gmail.com and let me know what you think my blog is missing. Thank you and have a great rest of your Thursday evening! The weekend is almost here!!

Weekend Recap

Hey everyone, I hope you had a great weekend!!! We finally got some information on the regulations for having an above ground pool and they are that if you have a 4 foot or higher pool, you don’t need a fence. So I went to the borough office this morning right when they opened to fill out a building permit application. Well, it turns out, it may take up to a week before we hear anything from them. That really stinks because we were planning on getting the pool set up tonight and having it filled by the end of the week. My fingers are crossed that I’ll hear something today or at least by tomorrow, but I’m not really holding my breath. All I wanna do is swim!!! Is that too much to ask for??? I still don’t understand why we even need a building permit for a freakin’ pool!!! Ugh!!!! It’s my property, so why can’t I do what I want? I could see if I was building onto my house, but that’s not what I wanna do. All I want to do is set up a pool!

Alright, I’m done venting now. My weekend just consisted of working, as always. I’m off today so I’m just catching up on some shows on my DVR and since it is nice outside, I think I’ll go sit on my deck and read! Leave me your comments! Have a great Monday!!

Our vacation {Part 2}

Friday morning we ventured out to the beach!!It doesn’t look like it, but it was really hot that day!! We thought it was going to rain, but luckily it didn’t.

Here are some pics of the beach and boardwalk. I realized as I was going through the pictures I took, I didn’t really take that many pictures from the actual beach. I took pictures of the beach while we were on a pier, but not while we were on it.
 

The one thing that stinks about being on vacation with just the two of us, is that we can’t get pictures of the both of us standing in front of something like this.
 

But oh well. I bet if we would have stood on opposite sides of the sign, my fiancé could have photoshopped it to be one picture!

 

I couldn’t wait to go here to eat!!! I have been in the gift shop before, but never ate there. The story from here will be coming up in a later post.
 

Relaxin’ on the beach…

Readin’ on the beach…
 

I see you!!!
 
 

I couldn’t believe how close this boat was to the beach!! 


I zoomed in a bit so you could see how close the boat was compared to the person on the beach.
 

So that was it for our time at the beach. I forgot to mention that it was between 10 and 11 that we were at the beach, so the water was freezing!!!! We should have planned to do other things that early in the morning and then gone to the beach when the water would have been warmer. That wasn’t all we did on Friday, so be sure to come back tomorrow to see what else we did!! Have a great Tuesday everyone!!!

Goals for the summer

So I'm having a bit of writer's block. I wanted to write a blog post but I didn't know what to write about. So one of my friends suggested I write about what my goals are for the summer. So that is what I'm going to do.

1. Read more books for pleasure
As I mentioned in a previous post, my goal is to read 20 books by the end of the year. I'm on my first one at the moment so I've got 19 to go! When I started this goal I figured I would have to read 2 books a month to reach my goal. At the rate I'm going, I'll be lucky if I get to read 1 book per month. So hopefully in May, when the semester is over, I can focus on reading more.

2. Get a job working with kids
I'm still going to keep my job at Sonic, but I would also like to find a summer job where I could work with kids. If I were applying for a teaching job today, I wouldn't have any real experience with kids. About a month ago I found a bunch of places near me that I could possibly work at so hopefully I will hear back from them!

3. Save more money for the wedding
As of right now, I'm only able to work 4 days out of the week and I haven't been getting that many hours since we've been kind of slow. I'm looking forward to the summer because I will be getting a lot more hours in and making a lot more in tips! My plan is to divide my tips in half everyday- half goes in my checking and half goes towards the wedding. Then my paycheck every two weeks, maybe I could divide that in half and put half in my checking and half in my regular savings, cause I'm gonna need to start saving money to pay back my college loans.
 
4. Get engagement pictures taken
Well, first my fiancé and I have to decide on a photographer, but once we do that I definitely want to get our engagement pictures taken. We have a little over 2 years till our wedding, but I just wanna get the pictures taken and out of the way.

5. Go to the beach
The last time I was at the beach was in '09, so I definitely want to get there this year, enough said!

6. Go to an amusement park
I haven't been to Hershey Park since ‘09, so I really want to go there this summer!! But I wouldn’t mind going somewhere else like Six Flags. My aunt and uncle gave my fiancé and I coupon book and I was looking through it the other day and saw a buy one get one admission for Six Flags. I’ll just have to find the closest one (which I think is in New Jersey) and see if one ticket for there plus the amount of gas (since it is farther than Hershey Park) is cheaper than two tickets for Hershey Park, the gas, and parking. When I was at Hershey Park last, the parking was $30!! That is ridiculous!!!


I think that about sums up my goals for the summer. If you have any suggestions for me like any fun summer dates or books to read, leave me a comment and let me know!!
