We also went to the GLEE concert. It was super fun! Our dear friend Roz gave us free tickets! We went out to dinner before hand at a yummy Mexican restaurant. We still ended up spending about $50 between dinner and gas. Geeze Louise!
Now we'll be home for a while to restock the cash piles =) I had wanted to go into the city tonight for a party with high school friends but it's just not in the cards. Plus there are TWO parties this weekend for another dear friend's birthday but sadly, they also aren't in the cards.
We have a wedding to go to this weekend and still need to buy the gift! I'm really excited about the wedding! It will be the first wedding that we're going to while we're engaged! So it will be fun to pay attention to all of the details in a new way.
It's a whole new learning curve for both of us in terms of self-control. We're having to pick and choose our social outings. Where as in Ecuador we didn't go out much to begin with so we weren't saying no to a lot of things. And then also when it comes to eating. My parents graciously cook/buy for all of us but it's usually not the healthiest of options. We need to start cooking dinner more regularly so that way we're eating healthfully. Oy vey!
In other news, we went out to the Anderson Organics farm yesterday for the first time to pick up some surplus greens. SO GOOD! We'll be going out to the Rockford Market (or whatever the heck it's called) on Friday to pick up some more. We're super excited about our shares this summer. Plus we picked up some eggs from the Griesbach's. Good things happening in the food department (when we choose to cook).
Today will include more rock moving (wahoo), working outside, cleaning, laundry, dishes, and organizing. It's taking a lot of time to really get situated but it's worth it because there's NO RENT PAYMENT!
MULUB,
Taylor
