Currently

It's been quite some time since I've updated the world with a "currently" post. Here are my current "currently's":


Reading: Follow You Home - I found it on my Kindle, and it seemed like a good "Halloween read". It's kind of horrifying. But I can't put it down!

Thinking: About all that has to be done in the upcoming months - 2 moves in 9 months, another career change. 5 moves in 2 years total, if you really want to get down and dirty. It makes my head hurt when I think about it at this point....

Frustrated: That I cannot have a wife who can clean my house, laundry, grocery shopping. Life has been super busy - and my evenings are spent doing big jobs such as de-cluttering, painting base-boards, cleaning ceiling fans and vents to prepare for selling our house. I need a wife ;)

This is a 1st world problem, I acknowledge this.

Feeling: Annoyed with the forecast of triple digits this week. It's mid October. 100 degrees needs to go away.

Anticipating: My girls trip to Miami Wednesday with my mom, sisters, and sister-in-laws!!! (!!!!!!) So excited. I think this trip is coming at the perfect time to restore my soul ;)

Watching: Seriously zero tv at all these days. It's awesome. We did see "The Martian" in theaters Friday night. Haven't been to a move in about 6 months. I really liked it!

Sad: That there are many people in my life who are dealing with illness and injury right now. Wish I could wave a magic wand, and make everyone feel better.

Working: Hard! But I'm loving my job. Looking back to 1 year ago, I never would have dreamt up the opportunities I'd be facing today.

Grateful: For the full weekend I just got to spend with Ryan. We got a lot done around the house, and did some major catching up on life. It was exactly what the doctor ordered!

Listening: Indie Dance radio on Pandora. It's my new favorite!

Wishing: I could be granted more energy. By the time 8 pm hits, I am so exhausted lately. I have a hard time being productive. I know drinking coffee at this hour is not wise to get more energy. But don't we all wish we had more energy?! Ha! (But if I had a magic genie, that's what I'd ask for!)

We saw the Martian last week too and really liked it! It was only the 3rd movie we have seen in the theater as a couple so clearly we don't see many movies either ;) The book is really good, too!

I am glad you have a vacation + girl time ahead of you as it sounds like you need it! Moving is so much work and then adding uncertainty into it makes it even more challenging. I know you guys will get through this phase but please know you can always vent to me and I won't start sentences my saying 'well at least...' Or 'it could be worse...' Love you!!!

So excited to see you and I think this "vacation" is coming at a great time for you! I know what you mean about needing a wife! I need a husband as your Dad has not been able to do much since middle of July when he had ankle surgery. I miss his help so much and feel overwhelmed at times getting things done myself.
Your weather is too hot - it was 92 here on Sunday but Monday was 50 and extremely windy so quite the change! It turned out that it went down as the hottest day of the year here and also broke records for hottest day in October! It was actually 97 in Fargo! Crazy?
I love it that you enjoy your job and hope you can find one to match in in the months and years to come!
SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...
