Date Night!!

I had a crazy idea this week. I thought that we needed to SPICE things us if you will so I proposed that we take turns each week to plan a date for each other. This week will be my turn and next week is his, etc. It can be something that we really want to do and want the other to do with us or we can plan a date that we think the other will enjoy. Hopefully this will get us our of our comfort zone and force us to try some new restaurants, activities, etc. I will be blogging about our date night every week. Aren't you curious to see what I have up my sleeve for this week?

Monkeys and Wolves and Bears Oh My!!

Joe and I went to the zoo on Saturday for a "day date". Since he works on the weekend nights, day dates are a normal thing for us. We are members of the zoo and it's so nice just to go for a few hours and see our favorite animals.

I love these little guys. They are cute and very curious!

This is our bird friend. We named him Seymour. We visit him every time that we come to the zoo. I SWEAR he knows who we are. He is always sitting up in his tree and when he sees us he comes down to play. It's really neat!!

Go had him going back and forth and got him all excited...look at those head feathers!

Here is Joe in the "open flight area". It's in the bird house where the birds are flying all around you. Not for people who are scared of feathered creatures!

Awww...it's my little monkey friend!!

I love the gorillas but I always feel sad for them. They are so human like. When they look at you, it feels like you are looking at another person. I wonder what they are thinking being stuck in a cage?

A flat face orangutan.....love him!!

This ostrich was crazy looking and kept giving Joe the eye.

ELEPHANTS!!!

I love the new area of the zoo. The grizzly bears were very active today. They were super playful in the water. They came right up to the wall where we were standing.

I was seriously THIS close to a bear....crazy!! He is saying "Hi!!".

The wolves were TIRED!!

Yay for a fun day at the zoo :)

It's officially FALL in our house!!

I could not resist it any longer...I had to buy my official fall scent today from BBW and of course I had to burn it...LOVE this smell. It makes my house cozy and smell yummy!!

It's Official!!

I have signed up for my first 1/2 marathon on Sat. Dec. 4. I will be walking most (if not all ) of it. Group training this Saturday at my house. Let me know if you are interested!

Hungry??

Blogger Katie took us on a tour of her fridge and asked to see ours...so here goes :)

We got our fridge at Lowe's on the sale aisle. It has a small ding on the front that no one ever notices. You can see it in the picture with the flash on.

We LOVE condiments....just call me the "Condiment Queen"! We have tons to dressings, jellies, jams, marinades, mustard, mayo, ketchup, lime juice, hot sauce, wine, and water in French bottles....because it makes me feel fancy :)

When you look at the shelves...no one can say we do not have any food..although Joe likes to complain that we NEVER have anything to eat. Silly boy...look at all food!

We have eggs, hummus, key lime curd, baby tomatoes, English cucumbers, blueberries, raspberries, cranberry juice, marinated olives, LOTS of butter ( I bake ya'll!), washed lettuce in a big container, milk, whipping cream, OJ, more salad dressing, etc. One drawer has cheese, hot dogs, bacon, etc. in it. The drawers on the bottom have veggies and fruit in them.

Oh Lawd!! Look at my freezer...yikes! It is messy!! Frozen prok chops, frozen chicken, frozen shrimp, frozen fruit, popsicles, coffee, frozen puff pastry, frozen berries, homemade strawberry jam and frozen edamame.

In the door of the freezer...frozen Italian ice, frozen corn, frozen fruit, pistachios and concert tickets.

What's in YOUR fridge??

I am going to have one HAPPY husband!

Look at the awesome shirt I just ordered from Victoria's Secret. Joe is going to LOVE it! I needed something cute for rooting on Joe's favorite team this year. Shhhhh!! It's a surprise...don't tell him. I am just going to save it for the first game, put it on, and knock his socks off :)

Why Our Friends ROCK!!

Because they gave us this CROCK!! Can you believe this was in their garage sale pile?!?!

We LOVE it....it looks perfect in our house!! We did some research and it's a 10 gallon crock from Louisville Pottery Company from the early 1900's :)
