Filed Under: FTSF, Married Life Tagged With: , ,

Welcome back to Finish The Sentence Friday Blog Hop (FTSF).  We give you a sentence and you finish it (however long or short you’d like).  Please feel free to link up and follow any or all of our hostesses, which are below.

And now for this week’s sentence to finish:  “This summer I plan to…”
And next week’s sentence to finish:  “When I was younger, I wanted to…”

This summer I plan to…actually take a few days off and spend some time with Kevin and the girls.

I truly have been looking forward to the summer, because it my favorite season. I love the warm, hot weather. Seriously, the hotter the better for me.

Love This Time of Year, Flip-Flops & All!!!

I have always felt for me it is easier to cool down the warm up (as in be freezing in the winter).

I have never his my pure distain for winter, cold and snow.

Maybe, this is because I was born in the real beginnings of the summer. I am Gemini and my birthday is June 10th. Growing up, my birthday was the perfect way to kick off the summer.

I Am A Gemini Through and Through!!

Now, it is always right around the time of my girls’ dance recitals. So, we usually celebrate the two events pretty much simultaneously.

Dance Recitals Are On Tap!!!

Also, now Kevin takes most of his vacation days in the months of June, July and August in the form of long weekends, so we can spend some quality time together as a family, but spread it out instead of it being one, long vacation.

We are talking about taking the girls somewhere possibly beach or amusement park related for a long weekend. And some other fun filled day trips locally as well.

And now that it is May, I guess I should think about doing some planning. If anyone has any suggestions, hit me up in the comments. We do have a few ideas, but always looking for some good feedback from all!!

Now tell me, in the comments, about your summer plans. Or write a post and link it up! And be sure to share my story with all your FB and Twitter friends. We’ll also be featuring some of our favorites on Twitter with the Hashtag #FTSF and our Facebook pages too, so make sure to follow. Don’t forget to grab a button and put it somewhere people will see. We’d are hoping to keep this hop going strong and continue this for a long time to come!

    This summer I plan on writing. What else am I going to do? We have no money for a vacation and I refuse to get a normal job. 🙂 This is my life.

    Have a great weekend, Janine, and thank you for your friendship.

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh Bill, you know I will be writing too, but I am excited about the warm weather and spending more time with Kevin and the kids. I am sure you will do fun activities with Bev and you, too. And it is totally my pleasure to be friends with you and thank you for always being such a wonderful friend to me, too!! Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day to Bev!! 🙂

  2. Michelle Liew says

    And I plan on having plans! LOL! Seriously, there are no seasons here, but we should make resolutions throughout the year. Linking!

  3. Lanaya @ Raising Rea says

    WooHoo ~ you deserve a much needed break! I realized that I will be on a houseboat at the end of this month for my birthday and I am not even going to bother with guest posts or anything. Just shutting it down. It's going to be SO NICE!!

    Sounds like you will be having a fun-filled summer! See you soon. Love, Aunt Gloria

  6. Melissa S. says

    Nice prompt, once again. I'm guessing you are a pretty good planner. Me, not so much. Definitely fly by the seat of my pants. 🙂

  7. mrs_karenC says

    We have our summer vacation trip planned, a few days on a family, all inclusive ranch. Dino will love it and then a few road trips here and there.

    Yes, I agree I want to have more fun with my son this summer, really enjoy as he enjoys, take an active role in whatever he does…I'm sure soon enough he won't want mne there, LOL

    • Janine Huldie says

      Karen, I know and want to enjoy this truly while they still want me around, because that day is going to come soon enough, where they will just want their friends and not even want to look at me. So, I truly am looking forward to this summer and making some wonderful memories with them!! 🙂

  8. Robin Rue says

    I'm always cold, too. We went to Disney World last August and I was in a sweatshirt for half the trip LOL….and it was actually really hot down there in Florida, but all the rides were freezing.

    • Janine Huldie says

      So glad it isn't just me, Robin about always being cold. I am on the petite side (always have been), so I just get cold so easily. And the sweatshirt so would have been me too (while Kevin laughed at me!!).

  9. Jane Marsh says

    I hope you succeed in your plan, and have a fabulous summer. I'm a heat-loving Gemini too. Why I live this far north…

    • Janine Huldie says

      Jane, I am so with you on why I do live this far north being a heat loving gemini, but finally we are starting to get some warmer weather that I am truly loving every minute of!! 🙂

  10. Kenya G. Johnson says

    I am just the opposite as far as temps go. Maybe it depends where you leave. At some point in our summer its so dreadfully hot, I don't even want to check the mail. So I think its easier to warm up, but then I don't think we had a high below 50 this winter. Love that flip flop photo.

  11. Susan Zutautas says

    Sounds like you have a fun summer planned. My husband and twins are Geminis and all three are on the same day. Talk about a party!

  13. Stephanie Sprenger says

    I love summer, too, and I also have a summer birthday, so maybe there is something to that theory! I am so looking forward to a more leisurely pace, time with the whole family,and a few road trips. Loved the photos!

    • Janine Huldie says

      All of us except for Lily have summer-time birthdays. Kevin is this Sunday, I am June 10th and Emma is July 17th. So, it really is one after the other for us for a few times. And I am so with you on enjoying the road trips!! 🙂

  14. Dana says

    Both of my kids have August birthdays, so summer is a busy and fun time for us – I love the break from homework and schedules – and we all love to sleep in!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Dana, just as I told Stephanie, all of us except Lily have summer-time birthdays. So, I am so with you on being busy, but having fun too from it all. And god I hope to be able to sleep in more now that my girls do sleep past 7 am, lol!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Dara, my husband's god-daughter was the only other person that I knew shared the day with me up until this. Thanks for sharing that and love hearing that two other people you know have the same birthday!! 🙂

  16. Kera says

    Agh I wanted to link up with this week's prompt! I just started a summer bucket list and it would be a perfect tie-in. Maybe I'll write up a post for tomorrow if I have time 🙂 I remember dance recitals in June when I was growing up and it's so nice that you can share your birthday with your girls' recitals! I'm looking forward to when Sofia can start a dance class. here's to getting lots of things crossed off of our summer lists this year!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh no worries trust me, I know we have tons going on now. If you and want to definitely link up, but if you are busy, please don't worries. And definitely here to a wonderful summer and hope we get to meet up in July, too!! 🙂

      • Kera says

        I definitely hope we can meet up in July too…we'll be arriving on Wednesday before the 4th and staying through Saturday. The wedding's on Friday so maybe Thursday we can try to plan something!

  18. Janine Huldie says

    Oh I love that we were due around the same time, Lisa. No wonder why we get along so well!! And sounds like you have a great summer planned!! 🙂

  19. Kristi Rieger Campbe says

    Really – the hotter the better? For me, I can't stand it when it gets super hot and super humid. And the bugs! UGH. But maybe that stuff is worse where I live. Cute photos and your long weekend trips sound fun. Regarding suggestions – the beach!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Yeah, I know Kristi I am crazy, but can't help but love the hot weather. And we get bugs, too. So not a fan of them believe me, but I will take anything over freezing and winter any day of the week. And I love the beach. Kevin not so much. Don't ask me how I got him to agree to the Bahamas for a week for our honeymoon, lol!! 🙂

  20. Dani Ryan says

    I'm with you on the heat, with the exception of when I'm inside. I like it to feel like an ice box when I crawl into bed. 🙂

    I love the idea of taking vacation time over the summer months and spreading it out over long weekends. It makes it last longer!

    We are going away on a 2-week holiday in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned as I'm sure it will produce A LOT of blog fodder. 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh I cannot wait for the blog fodder that will indeed be producing and you got me, i love to be under the covers at night when I sleep. So, just like you Dani I need it to be cool in my room when I sleep at night!! 🙂

  22. Janine Huldie says

    Will definitely take the camera and Clark I love your saying that you'd rather sweat then shiver!! Thanks as always and have a wonderful weekend again!! 🙂

  24. Kate Hall says

    Sounds like you could use some time off – so much posting and all your endeavors! I don't know how you do it!

  25. Alana Terry says

    Sounds like you have a great summer ahead of you. Your girls are adorable in their dance suits. And happy birthday soon!

  26. Joan Veronica Robert says

    Hi Janine! Nice post! Your plans sound so great, I wish I could afford to relax! And I liked the idea of spreading out the vacation over long weekends, sounds perfect for family life! See you soon!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh thanks so much Joan and definitely looking forward to those long weekends now after the crazy day I had today. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far!! 🙂

  27. Joy says

    Your summer plans sound like a lot of fun! Dance recitals must be something a mother's heart really has to love! <3

    • Janine Huldie says

      Joy, totally is such a fun time with the dance recitals and trust me both girls talk about them constantly. They are excited for it and so am I!! 🙂
