Manhattan Anniversary

I have only been to New York City once. It was amazing. If you haven't read Our Story yet, you probably should, especially if you don't know how Chris proposed.

On Friday, Chris took me to the bustling city of Cortez for a much needed date. We bought for fish for our tank, went to Wal-Mart, and then to our favorite place to eat there, J Fargos. On the way home, I realized that the anniversary of our amazing trip to New York had come and gone, and I hadn't even realized it. Meaning, of course, that I can never get mad at my husband for forgetting important dates. As I have looked back at how much has changed since that day, I am amazed that only a year has passed; it has felt like a lot more. I'd be lying if I said it hasn't been hard, but I'm so grateful for how much I have grown. It has definitely been forced growth, but I am becoming something amazing. Hopefully not an amazing pain in the rear for Chris...

The questions have started to come about where we will be for next year, if we are staying in the area, when are we going to have babies, and who did we cheer for in the Super Bowl?

First of all, a lot will depend on what happens with my internship next fall. I really want to be able to get a job, so I can be paid while I finish school, however, if not, I will work in the most advantageous place I can, hopefully, getting my foot in the door for a job the next year. We plan to stay here for the immediate future, and have even talked about buying a house, however, this will probably not be a permanent thing, but really, only time will tell. You know us, we don't plan much ahead of time. We like to fly by the seat of our pants. :)

Secondly, we are currently trying to keep a tank of fish alive. We have already had to offer up 5 little things to the porcelain fish graveyard. We are pretty sure that we will be loosing a few more in the near future. Because of this track record, we aren't sure we can be entrusted with the care of an actual human baby. Seriously, though, we are waiting until I am at least out of school. I have ten months left, and then I am hoping to be able to work some - you know, putting that expensive degree to use. If you've noticed the weight gain, no worries, it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with a baby, just laziness  lack of exercise, a sit down job, and commuting. I'm working on that, and hope to be back to my old unhealthily-eating-but-running self soon.

Finally, I know you were all dying to hear this answer. Neither of our teams were playing in the Super Bowl this year, unfortunately. Therefore, we cheered for the team that didn't cheat to get there. That's right, I said it. The worst part, however, is the fact that we cheered for a team that couldn't make the right call to run it, when it counted. So... Guess we all have something to learn in the end.

I hope y'all have an amazing Groundhog's Day! Pray that we really have six more weeks of winter, with LOTS of snow! We like drinking water in the summer time...
