How I did it
It made me
choke it down! 
How I did it: We had our lobster roll at The Clam Shack--which won best lobster roll from Travel Channel's food wars. There was a ton of lobster on it. I don't know what I was expecting, but I didn't really like it. It was chewy, and Scott just said, yep, it tastes like seafood! Read how I did it…
It made me
love nature! 
How I did it: Kennebunkport was the cutest town in Maine. We stayed at The Tides Beach Club for our 15th anniversary. Also, viisited the sister property, Hidden Pond. Had a great couple of meals, tried my first lobster roll and enjoyed the cabana boys taking my things to the beach! Read how I did it…
It made me
Tired 
How I did it: We hiked 3 National forests in Costa Rica including The Carara Biological Reserve and Manuel Antonio National Forest while staying the week through a timeshare in Jaco. It's amazing the things that you see. Bigger iguana's than I've ever seen, beautiful birds, monkeys and more! We didn't see monkeys untl the very end, but they were worth the wait. I felt like I was on a monkey hunt all week long. Read how I did it…

I read all 3 of the Hunger Games books. I actually enjoyed the first one quite a bit. The second and third book especially I could’ve not read and been just as happy. The first movie was ok, but I can’t see going to the additional ones they are going to put out.
I wanted to get new carpet for a long time in the house but at the end of the year it always seemed to be the one goal I couldn’t check off. I think it was just getting started with such a huge project that put me off for so long. And, it was expensive. 6 grand to do the whole house and redo 3 bathrooms that needed new flooring. However, once we found a good retail carpet store and someone who was really helpful in guiding us, the process went pretty smoothly. Only took a day to rip everything up and get everything new in and I’ve been enjoying it every day since.
