What I wanted in a husband

I found this when I was looking for my checkbook the other day. This is a list I wrote in 1996 about my future husband. It’s what I was looking for when I was a frshman in college.
Jeff and I got married in 2008. So 12 years later - I think I did pretty good! As far as what I didn’t get, some is ok not to have, some we are working on, and some were silly 

Envisions the same future as me

Bean Saturday

This morning we got to babysit the Bean. Man, I love that kid. He cracks me up.
We watched Elmo and played around with a marker and dry erase board. Then we played with his ball. Then with a cool microphone thing we got him - and he loves it!
We took the boy to lunch at TGI Fridays. He had some green beans & ranch, chicken, pasta, mashed potatoes, fruit snacks, and dessert.
We were getting our food and I looked over at him. Here is what he did with the ranch ...

Then he got chocolate cake on his pants. So we took him to Old Navy (any excuse, right?) and got him a new little outfit. We changed his clothes and his diaper and took him back home.
What a fun morning. Now on to homework :)

Homecoming

It is homecoming today at school. We don't have a football team so we always hold our dance in January/February.
I made sure we had a king/queen this year. It wasn't a cool as I would have liked, but I think it went pretty good.
We get to stay for the dance tonight. It's been 16 years since I've been to a Homecoming dance :) Fun!

7.5

We are a 7.5. I love my husband.

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT

This blogging daily might kill me. I don't see how anyone has time or thoughts to blog every day. I have to sneak it in and sometimes do multiple posts and save them so I can publish one each day. Sometimes I have to change the date of the post so I can have one show up each day. (Is that cheating? Ha)
Taking 9 hours this Spring may or may not have been a good idea. It was only the second week of class so I think I am ok right now. Once work gets even busier, I might start rethinking all the hours. Most people take 3 or 6 only. I'll get through it, just don't know if I can pull off all As like I wanted. We'll see.
So far this week I have to write a brief over a court case in my law class. I also need to have a 45 minute powerpoint presentation over 2 chapters from my leadership class (plus a shorter 15 minute one to present in front of the class). I need to do some online scavenger hunt about data. It's alot.
I'm so glad I can then go back to blogging when I think of something fun to say. :)

Nope, Not Me

Everyone is pregnant. Like it's so easy. They can get pregnant just thinking about it.
No, I'm NOT. It's not happening. It's apparently not so easy for me. Yes, I would like to be. No, there is no big announcement. Of course we are trying/hoping and want one. It just hasn't happened.
Jeff's cousin just got married in December. They are pregnant. I'm excited for them and can't wait to play with their little peanut. But really? Already? I've been married a year and a half.
I wanted to get pregnant this summer. Or at least in the fall so I could have one in the summer. I don't care when anymore. I just want one.
I think I might be broken.
Gr.
