My sister's birthday shindig last night went really well. We got over to my parent's house, did the cards and presents, and then ate a wonderful dinner. Kevin's cake that he made turned out great, and he got tons of compliments. It was also nice to let Charlie and Bruiser play together. They are really cute together. Charlie is such a monster compared to Bruiser. After we got home, I made some banana bread while Kevin did homework under Charlie's watchful eye. When I was done, Charlie came in and snuggled with me while Kevin and his buddies played computer games. I was really tired last night and it felt good to wake up refreshed this morning.
Hellooooo weekend! (In t-minus 6 hours and counting...) Too bad I really don't have anything exciting planned for my days off. Tonight, Kevin and I will probably go out for dinner, or I will be stuck making something. Ugh. And this weekend, Kevin has his drill weekend. That means Charlie and I are on our own. Since it's supposed to be nice out tomorrow, it looks like Charlie and I are off to the dog park. He loves going there to see all of the other babies...and so do I. I also need to get our tax forms organized and sent out. Other than that, I'll probably do some cleaning and laundry. Try not to be too jealous.
As for the highlight of the weekend, on Sunday, Kim and I are going shopping. We really haven't gotten together in a while it seems, so I'm really looking forward to hanging out with her for the afternoon. She thinks we're going to exercise too, but I know us, and that just won't happen. We are slackers.
Well, other than that, have a happy weekend!

And I'm Back...
It's been awhile! I guess I'll start with January...As I mentioned in my last post, I had some presentations for work that I was traveling for. They went pretty well, but I think I always overanalyze things, and then try to think about how I could make them better. I guess I will have a chance to do so in May and June, when I do four more over a two-week period.
It was also my birthday! I actually had made plans to go out with friends for my birthday. Kevin and I were going to head to my favorite bar to meet them after I got home from work. Kevin forgot all about it. I got home, opened the door, and saw fresh flowers in a vase, candles out on the table, and him making me dinner. I gave him a kiss, and told him I was going to change quick. Then I called the girls to reschedule without him knowing. It was wonderful. For my present, Kevin and I spent an entire weekend in Madison. I had really wanted to see an exhibit at one of the museums. We were able to go swimming at the hotel, order in dinner, and just relax. It was perfect~just what we needed.
For February, the highlights included going to Kevin's cousin's house for the Super Bowl, babysitting for our nieces, and my dad's 59th birthday. With work and school, Kevin and I really didn't have time for anything really big.
The past few days have been pretty low-key around our house. On Monday, Kevin fixed our Home Theater PC, so that was quite nice. Now we can watch all of our movies again. On Tuesday, we went out to dinner with Kevin's dad, and then he came over to do our taxes. Gotta love that new homebuyer's tax credit! And last night, I popped a frozen pizza in the oven, we watched TV, and then we watched "Couple's Retreat."
Tonight, we are headed to my parent's house for my sister's birthday. I can't believe we're getting so old! Kevin is responsible for making her birthday cake, so hopefully he has time to do it after school today. Fingers crossed!
