My Wishlist

This is bad news. There are a few things I decided that I really want right now but they are definitely not needs! The good news is that my wishlist is not long...well it probably could be longer ;). But the bad news is that everything that I want is pretty pricey. Dang. I guess I will have to prioritize. Here is the list:

1) A new computer. The biggest problem here is I can't decide whether I want a Mac or a PC. I have a Mac now and I love it, but they are SOOOO spendy. I guess we will have to see. Also since I have a Mac now, I am not really sure how to transfer all of my info to a PC. Probably should figure that out.

2) I want a new digital SLR camera. I don't need something super fancy, just something that I can take some nice pictures with.

3) Photoshop. This kind of goes along with the last one.

Guess it is time to start saving!

Slacker

I am a blog slacker. Really. But it has been a busy busy week! Hopefully things will start to calm down soon and I will have more time to blog. (Wishful thinking since school starts in a week and a half). Oh well.

Child Proofing

Ok! Big news! Cora is now rolling over consistently. Next, she will be crawling. If she could figure out the whole arm thing, she would already be moving. Boy are we in trouble. Before we know it, she will be into everything! Time to start baby proofing.

Also, we spent the weekend up in Teton Valley, Idaho for a family reunion. We had a great time, but more on that tomorrow. It is bed time!

Eyes Bluer Than The Sky


Ok. So the whole time I was pregnant, I was hoping that my little one would have blue eyes like her daddy. I wasn't really counting on it though, since I have very brown eyes--and let's face it, brown eyes are definitely dominant. Well, I definitely got a blue-eyed girl and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse! Everyone comments on how blue her eyes are. People have been asking Ben if he has a baseball bat to beat off the boys. Oh man. I think we may be in trouble!

Sperry Topsiders

My new obsession. Seriously I love them.

Especially these ones.
And these.
Not really in the budget for this month--but maybe next?? I really like them. And Ben would like them because I don't like to tie my shoes often and he hates it when my shoes are untied! Hahaha.

Hello, It's Official: I HAVE GONE CRAZY

Ok. So we are getting Ben's school situation figured out, and let me tell you-it is crazy. He decided to change his major so instead of having 40 credits left to graduate, he has 76. Almost double. Since he has to work full time, we figure it will take him about 2.5-3 years. Well I just decided I want to get my MBA. Sweet huh? That means I will spend this school year taking classes to cushion my GPA (since its all paid for!), preparing for the GMAT or GRE, and trying to figure out financial aid. Pretty awesome huh? It's crazy but I figure why not? I will most likely get pretty good financial aid and can be done at about the same time that Ben is! Uh, wish me luck?

Uh? Is today really the 9th??

Wow. Time is going by too fast. And guess what? My little Cora is 5 months old today! That is almost half a year. That is old! Well now really, but boy she is getting big and growing super fast. She is learning more and more everyday. And we still love her to death, imagine that.

HAPPY 5 MONTHS BABY GIRL!
Look at how little she was!
