Let me start by saying there have been many a thoughts and many a conversations since the last post. We still aren't in a routine and that makes it hard to blog regularly. Here are just a couple of things that we've been up to...
- Chuki got neutered and is signed up for his first private lesson training session to try and figure out what makes his crazy with other dogs and with the vet. We're both really hopeful and just me, I'm a little nervous.
- Ryan had one interview last week and has another one this week. He's still applying and looking so if anyone knows of anything out there, he'd love to hear about it! We're keeping our fingers and toes crossed.
- We picked the first actual thing from our garden, besides just herbs. It's a pepper and we're going to use it to make Green Chicken Curry tonight. We had to put up a fence around our garden because the little rabbits ate all of the snap peas. But now we've got some room to plant a couple of more things so we're headed to the store soon (we keep saying today, but then today comes and goes).
- The big conversation that we've been having lately is about food and what is important to us and then how that fits into our budget. For example, does 100% organic really matter, and if it does what can we afford to buy/week. We're really happy with Anderson Organics and we're really happy with the eggs that we're getting from the Griesbachs! We've been doing a lot of chicken research lately. I mean what do those labels at the super market really mean? What's the difference between cage free and free range and free roam. Or all natural and pure. We finally decided on a chicken to buy from pure chicken. Check out the company it looks pretty legit. We can't afford to shell out $20 for ONE organic chicken but $8 for a healthy chicken sounded better. We'll let you know how it tastes.
- Wedding planning is going well. We're getting there, slowly but surely. Our Wedding Elf, Sarah, has been a HUGE help in the creativity department (seriously she's amazing!). We've got about 8 or 9 venues in the Seriously Possible column and a whole heck of a lot in the I Dont Think So column. So I'm feeling not-so-overwhelmed and actually really excited about the wedding. I know I'll feel REALLY excited once we have a venue and date but that will come. We're having engagement photos taken next week when dear, dear Brad is in town! So we're moving in the right direction.
- As far as social life... We went to our high school friend's wedding on Saturday and that was a TON of fun! Ryan has seen the guys a couple of times, I've seen Amy a couple of times. Hannah and Brian came up for the weekend which was SO much fun! We had a PERFECT day this past Sunday that ended in a grill out with great friends and a camp fire with s'mores.
- Things we're looking forward to... Visiting venues, going into Chicago this Friday to celebrate Hannah, Brad coming to town, the 4th of July, going to watch my little cousins in their Track regionals, family reunions on both sides, and lunch with Jenna, amongst many other things!
MULUB,
Taylor
