Weekend Update

This past weekend, my husband Jonathon and I drove 2 hours to Mount Pleasant to see the Central Michigan University vs. Michigan State University football game. We had a great time!

Along the way, we stopped at a cider mill and got donuts! We quickly told ourselves this was going to be the last day we would “be bad” and eat junk food and sweets. Of our many differences, we do have one strong common liking and that is sweets! I don’t believe there is anyone else that loves sweets as much as we do! Eating sweets not only makes us smile, but also makes us giggle like kids who just stole a cookie when mom wasn’t looking.

Jonathon’s aunt and uncle both work for Central Michigan University, so we met up with them before the game. It was nice being able to spend time with them one-on-one which is a rarity when you come from a big family. I just wish I would have taken some pictures to document it.

The game ended up being a big blowout; I think the final score was 7 to 41, making this MSUs 2^nd win for the season. J On our way home, we stopped in Lansing and ate at DeLuca's which is one of Jonathon’s favorite restaurants that he frequented when he was at MSU.

We both enjoyed our little road trip and we’re looking forward to doing another away game in the future. Maybe to a Bowl game next time!  

Sunday we spent the entire day relaxing. We also started watching the first season of Dexter and we really like it! It is a bit gruesome though! I started to feel a little queasy when I was eating my leftover pasta and watching the show at the same time. Next time, I should try to eat before I watch the show.

What did you do this weekend?

Just Sold!

In my last blog, I said that we were thinking of putting the condo on the market. Well, we did and we sold it! We listed the condo on a Wednesday, viewings were scheduled for the following Saturday and Sunday and we accepted an offer on Monday!

I still think we are in shock at how quickly we sold our condo!

We also found the perfect builder and the perfect location for our new home. We are super excited!

Since it will take anywhere from 7-8 months for our new home to be built and because we just sold our current place we will be moving into an apartment. I’m sure this will be a little adjustment, but I’m sure we will manage just fine. J

Who, What, Where, When, and Why

Who:

 

My hubby! He has been super helpful!

This weekend we took my brother to the outlet mall to help him get some new clothes for his new job. Jonathon helped my brother piece together dress shirts, ties, and dress pants which my brother has not the slightest clue as to what goes with what. I know my brother is very grateful for all of Jonathon’s help. 

What:

 

Michigan State football!

I am a season football ticketholder via my husband, Jonathon. Jonathon has been an MSU season football ticketholder for over ten years! Although, MSU isn’t my Alma Mater, I am still a very big fan of MSU sports even before I met the hubs.

We have a great time at the games and enjoy spending time with our family and friends who are also season ticketholders. We usually have a couple of tailgates throughout the season and have been known to take an occasional road trip to away games. It’s a lot of fun!

In fact, we already have a road trip planned to see an away game at Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, Michigan in a couple of weeks! We’re really excited!

GO GREEN! GO WHITE!

Where:

About 2 months or so before our wedding, my husband decided it was time that we should start to look for a new house. Say what?! Yes, that was my reaction, but he’s the type of person who makes a decision and goes with it while I’m the type or person who likes to mull over decision for a looooong time to the point that no decision ends up getting made. Not to mention, looking for a new house while 8 weeks out from your wedding day is not the kind of thing a neither rational nor sane person would choose to do!

We have narrowed it down to a few areas we would like to move into and are possibly considering a new construction. We still have a lot of work to do and figuring out to do before we make a full fledged commitment. While I’m not in love with the condo that we currently live in, I will be a little sad when we leave. I do love living off the lake and being able to walk to the bakery, the root beer stand, Dairy Queen or the new frozen yogurt shop nearby, and having a sports bar with a nice sized patio in walking distance. With that said, I’m not in a super rush, but it will be nice to find a new home, the one we’ll raise our family in which always makes me smile.

When:

Since we’re on the topics of families… everyone seems to want to know if and when we will have kids! They ask in such a way that it almost seems as if they need to plan around it or something. It’s not super annoying yet, but sometimes I feel like saying it’s none of your business! I especially get annoyed when people say, “you’re going to have kids right away aren’t you?” implying that I’m getting too old and I better hurry up!

I suppose inquiring minds want to know the answer… well, we’re thinking probably by next summer we will start. Send us good fertility vibes please! 

Why:

Why do have to wait so many months to watch the new seasons of our favorite TV shows? I currently am missing watching the following shows: the Walking Dead. Once Upon a Time, Californication and Fringe the most!
