Summer has ended and even Houston’s weather has started feeling like Fall!! While I am working on a Fall Bucket List, coming to the blog soon, today I am sharing an update on my ~ Summer 2016: Bucket List!, listing things we accomplished and things we didn’t get to. This summer was fun and we enjoyed a lot, also it was a busy one since we moved to a bigger apartment and we are absolutely loving the new space!

So without further ado, here’s the update:
