Back to the real world!

Todd and I just got back from our amazing trip to Europe a few weeks ago. I feel so blessed to have been able to go on such a grand trip! We went to Munich, venice, Rome, and Paris. Four places in 11 days...quite exhausting...but well worth it! We've both been so incredibly busy since we got back that we haven't even had a chance to develop our photos. I'm planning on crossing that off my to-do list this beautiful Good Friday afternoon. This is my first blog and to be quite honest, I am not real sure what to write...so I guess I'll list the top 10 important things going on in our lives recently:

1-We've made a list of things to do before having a family and have crossed off 3 things. That leaves about 9 more!! :) SO those of you asking when we're having a baby...we've got things to do/ people to see before signing up for that kind of responsibility!

2-We went to San Francisco/Napa valley this past November and had such a great time. I would love to move there one day

3-We have a boxer dog named Sadie and a cat named Mali...they are our babies for the time being. :)

4-As I've already mentioned, we finally made the big trip to Europe (one of the things on our list), and enjoyed every minute! (even the 2 nights on a train and walking all the way around venice looking for our hotel with all our bags in-tow...I can laugh about it now!)

5- Todd has been working for GE/Rexel for 5 years and has made quite a name for himself. I can't remember what his exact title is, but I know it's pretty important!! :)

6-I've been teaching at the same school, Fairmeadows, for 3 years and have recently decided to stay for my 4th (unless...they choose otherwise...HAHA..hopefully not!)

7-We bought a house 2 years ago in Arlington and just got our swimming pool up and running for the summer! Give us a call if ya wanna go swimmin...we love the company!

8-We fostered a boxer dog through Legacy Boxer Rescue (another thing on our list), and didn't have quite the experience we expected...sad story short, I don't think we will do that again. :(

9-I ran a half marathon in November (checked off our list!) and finished in 2 hours, 13 minutes....way better than I could ever imagine! I would like to run another one...but I think my body would hate me..:)

10-I have walked in the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer 3-day for the past 2 years...I chose not to sign up this year because I didn't want to stress about raising $2,300!! I'll be there supporting my friend Leslie and her mom, Penny. :)

11-This had apparently turned into 10 things about me (I'll let Todd add more about him later), :) but one more thing we're working on checking off our list: Fixing up our house. We plan on tiling the back room, adding on to the master bathroom, and are in the process of fixing the outer part of our house. We'll keep you updated on how things work out...until then, Happy Easter weekend!
