Welcome back birdies

It's been a whole month since my last post...whoops! In my defense, it was February and I was in hibernation mode. If I had it my way, on the first day of February I would nestle into my cozy couch and not come out until I hear the robins chirping. Well people, the robins are back. Apparently they haven't heard the forecast. Snow showers are expected on Wednesday. Ugh. I don't blame them for ignoring the nasty news. I'm in denial too.

Truth be told, we haven't actually been hibernating. It's been a busy household these past few months, hence no action on the blog. Andrew is working on his dissertation and will have this whole Ph.D thing wrapped up in a few months. I have been busy finishing my master's degree this semester. We are both looking forward to being done in May. Plus we are trying to plan a move across the country, so our plates are full.

Spring fever is in full force in Minnesota. We've had a few BEAUTIFUL, sunny days nearing 50 degrees. Those spring days always remind me why we suffer through 3 months of winter. Tucker and I have taken advantage of the warmer weather and have spent the last few days outside on the front porch. Don't get me wrong. I was still wearing a winter coat and Tucker was shivering, but we didn't mind. We were happy to be soaking up some much needed vitamin D. Either that or we are just plain desperate.

Happy Valentine's Day

We celebrated at home this year, with homemade (heart-shaped of course) pizza and chocolate fondue. And then a few episodes of The Office. It really doesn't get much better than that.

It's going to be a super Super Bowl!


I just dropped Andrew off at the airport, and he is on his way to the SUPER BOWL! It's not just any Super Bowl though. He is living out a dream of seeing the PACKERS play in the SUPER BOWL. I'm couldn't be more excited for him! (And totally jealous I might add). His friend Matt (who happens to live in Dallas) called yesterday at 4:30pm and asked if he wanted to go to the game. Yes, the game that was just over 24 hours from kick off. It's not just any 'ol game though. As you know, the PACKERS are in the SUPER BOWL. We're a bit excited around here. But, I'm pretty sure we're the only ones excited about the game around here. "Minnesota nice" does not seem to apply to football. They are a bit bitter when it comes to the green and gold. I digress. I should mention that Andrew did not have to sell his right arm to get into the game. Matt's dad was given four (FREE) tickets to the game, and Matt graciously thought of Andrew. So, we scoured the internet for flights to Dallas and right now he's on a plane headed for the SUPER BOWL. Don't worry. He is under strict orders to take plenty of pictures. So stay tuned, and enjoy the game! GO PACK.

P.S. THANKS MATT!

Are you ready for some football?

We may live in the land of the purple people eaters, but today we are proudly wearing our green and gold Packer gear!
