Wahoo!

It's Friday! And not only is it Friday, but it's paycheck Friday for both me and Tyler! And along with my regular paycheck, I got my $1,000 reimbursement check for not taking the health insurance offered through the school! Yay for money going into our

What makes you happy?

Posted Thursday, October 29, 2009 9:46 AM

I'm in a particularly good mood today. Last night, Tyler and I went out to dinner with his brother J and J's girlfriend. We originally were going to go to this place called The Muse and Aquatic Lounge (Scary, right? ), but (thankfully!) the restaurant

It really shouldn't be this difficult...

I love our tiny home

Posted Saturday, October 24, 2009 11:24 PM

Especially on cleaning days, I really appreciate our little three room apartment . It's just big enough where we can spread out and not feel like we're constantly on top of each other, but it's small enough that I can still get it all cleaned in a short

Officially halfway there!

Posted Sunday, October 18, 2009 6:50 PM

I seriously can't believe how quickly 20 weeks has gone by! And I really, really can't believe that in about another 20, I'll be holding my baby girl! To help momma celebrate the halfway point of my pregnancy, Piper gave me an early present last night

Let the buying commence!

Our appointment went wonderfully! Tyler and I stopped by McDonald's before the appointment and got some icecream so our little one was all revved up on the sugar, haha! All the measurements were great and the only concern that the doctor had was that

Fletcher or Piper?!?

Posted Tuesday, October 13, 2009 8:31 AM

Tomorrow we'll find out! Tyler told me as soon as we found out I was pregnant that he wanted to know. He doesn't like calling the baby "baby" or "it" and he wants to be prepared (clothes, etc. - even though I don't like most gender-specific clothes anyway)

This past weekend was so busy but so fun! I scrubbed our apartment down Thursday night and Friday morning before Tyler and I set off for PA. Let me tell ya, it was so nice to return home to a clean place last night! We stayed at my sister's (M) and definitely

Decisions, decisions...

Posted Wednesday, October 07, 2009 3:13 PM

So I work at a private school with absolutely zero job security. I don't even have an official contract stating that my position is at least safe for the current school year. All hiring/firing is "at will", thus states the useless piece of paper deemed

The feet are draggin' today!

I didn't get home until so late last night and I'm definitely feeling it today! I pass two Starbucks on my way to work and if I hadn't had a meeting that I had to get to early, I so would have stopped, haha! Not to mention that it was so nice and cold

I really don't know why, but October has always been one of my favorite months...I love the crisp weather, going apple picking, baking warm apple desserts, football every Sunday and Monday night, snuggling into blankets and warmer clothes, going on hayrides,
