Baby on the Brain

So, we've discussed the next inevitable question..... BABIES! Yes, we want to have children, but there are so many obstacles in the way right now. With work, my masters program, summer classes, moving, etc.... It just seems like we would miss out on so much. We've decided to wait at least another year or so until we are more stable in our everyday lives. But, in the meantime.... I can't help but look at adorable bedding such as this found at Baby's in Style!

OR THIS:
All in all, I'm sure there's plenty more time to decide when the right time will be. However; babies will come when they so choose sometimes :-) We would welcome the little bundle of joy whenever he or she decides to make their debut!

Daydreaming of Summer!

Today I've been having trouble staying focused. This cold weather and snow has got me in a mood that you wouldn't believe! I've been blog surfing, or whatever you call it! I've come across these posts about summer goals at the lovey Chelsea's blog and TYH blogs.

So, here is my Summer to do list!

To do Summer 2009:

1) Take Bear for a daily walk

2) Run in the Bix

3) Go on the river

4) Buy a new swimming suit

5) Plan our 1^st anniversary

6) Have lots of BBQ’s (I agree Chels)

7) Go for motorcycle rides

8) Buy a telescope to look at the stars with

9) Go for ice cream

10) Take a road trip

I'm sure I will come up with plenty more over the next few cold, frigged, sad months!

An exhausted weekend!

This past weekend we drove to Michigan to visit Jesse's friend Luke. It was a long 10 hour drive, but my husband is just wonderful! He drove the entire way!! Yes, the entire way! It was great. We headed to his hometown in Wisconsin on Thursday night to break the trip up, then headed to Michigan on Friday. We attended the Detroit Auto show on Saturday, pictures to follow. Jesse had an amazing time and we saw some pretty cool cars as well. I'm not a huge car fan, but I know my husband and this was the highlight of his weekend! That night, they were wonderful enough to put my automatic starter in my car. Jesse & I had a deal that I either get to drive the car in the garage (his Audi) or I get an remote starter! So, for the past few months I've been driving the Audi and now, I finally got my remote start! We went out Saturday night for a few drinks and then headed back to Wisconsin on Sunday night. Followed by a trip to Dubuque to pick up our puppy, Bear, then back home..... A very exhausted weekend to say the least! I will post pictures later tonight after I get them uploaded. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!!
