I’ve been meaning to post a general update for days, but somehow time got away from me. Things have been pretty busy here over the last couple of weeks. A couple Fridays ago we had the opportunity to attend a PFR concert with Sarah in Chanhassen. We had a really good time, although you wouldn’t have known it without being a native Minnesotan; definitely the most reserved audience we’ve seen at a rock show.
The next day we took the plunge and finally bought me a car. A 2003 Subaru Outback that seems to be in surprisingly good condition; no rust, very clean, and it seems to be running well. Neither of us had been looking forward to used car shopping, so we were really thankful things went so smoothly. I should have pictures to post in the next week or so if the temperature gets above freezing by then. (I’m waiting to take pictures until it warms up and I can get a car wash!)
Chris started class again last Tuesday. Luckily this semester he only has class three days a week and gets home in time for us to eat dinner together, so it’s a very pleasant change from last semester.
We also managed to go on a bit of a shopping spree last week. We started out looking for a new pair of shoes for Chris, but somehow we also came home with a photo printer for me and a new bag I’m calling my “mom-purse” (lots of pockets, including one that’s meant to hold a small umbrella, but looks suspiciously like the perfect size for a bottle…).
We attempted a window-shopping spree this last weekend, but were foiled in our attempts to start serious baby shopping when we got to Peapods and found that they were closed all week due to the owners being on vacation. I was crushed, but Chris saved the day by taking me to Babies “R” Us instead and went down every aisle in the store without complaining. After that we were both exhausted, so took a break before heading home by enjoying some large bowls of ice cream at Cold Stone.
My page protectors arrived last night (very excited!), so look for a post in the next couple nights with a sample layout.

page protectors? now I'm excited. Just kidding. As far as I know page protectors are clear plastic sheets that go over reports. I can't believe you would be excited about that. eileen
ReplyDeleteBelieve it.
ReplyDeleteI take a hip hop style dance class at my gym. Occasionally, after a very energetic song, a couple women will yell out, "We're havin' CHURCH now!" I have to think that means something very different from "having church" in Minnesota.
