Bullet List

I have a bunch of little blurbs that didn't really add up to a full blog post for each, so i'm going to make a bullet list of things going through my brain right now.

-I feel like I have a "weekend marriage" right now. Not that I live the life of a wild bachellorette during the week or anything, but since Matt and I see (and talk) to each other for a total of half an hour to an hour on a daily basis, I've been feeling pretty "single" during the week. Luckily, it's almost the weekend and Matt and I can have a couple fun days together. We also tend to do a lot of daily communicating via text message. The people I work with are VERY quiet and I feel really uncomfortable talking on my phone in my cube. Texting is a good solution, and I am always excited when the light on my phone turns blue and I know I have a text from Matt waiting for me.

-We are starting to delve into the house buying process. It's a scary thought and we have barely started looking. But I already have so much excitement about not having to rent and live in other people's property! Also, we can't pass up the opportunity to buy in such a great market with awesome interest rates. We have seen so many houses online that look awesome. I have no idea how we will ever choose one!

-Pongo and Perdi had their first romp in the dog park for over a week. It was impossible not to take them...you could just feel their pent up energy building up and they definitely ran off a week's worth of energy today.

-We are getting a visitor in two weeks. Alissa is coming out for the second time and we are so excited! We haven't had any visitors or seen any family since Christmas, so her visit is PERFECT. The only downside: I get my wisdom teeth taken out the same day she gets here, so I'm sure I'll be a groggy and recovering host. Still, I miss having guests in the house so it will all be worth it!

-Did I mention that the following weekend after Alissa's visit, Matt and I are going to Las Vegas for a weekend getaway? It's the opening round of the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament and the atmosphere there is incredible, especially if you live and breathe sports like my husband does. There are lots and lots of games on that weekend and everyone is usually excited about some game because they have a bet on it. I admit that I am more excited that we are staying in my favorite hotel, the New York, NY rather than all the sporting events that will be going on. We also plan to go see "O" at the Bellagio, which a highly touted cirque de solleil (sp?) show.

-I can't wait until camping season. I have enjoyed skiing a lot, but it just really doesn't compare the Colorado summers and getting up in the mountains for the warm days, cool nights and cozy campfires. There is nothing like looking up through the trees and seeing billions of stars. When you are on top of a mountain, they are that much closer and brighter. I am interested to see how good of a camper Perdi turns out to be. Pongo does awesome, so hopefully she will follow suit. She loves being outside during the day and is less of a house dog than Pongo, so that makes me think she'll be fine. I just realized that because we have the dogs, the only time we can really spend the night in the mountains is when we camp, unless we board the dogs. This is another reason I love camping. I just love getting away from the city!

That's all for tonight, folks!
