What I'm Loving Wednesday

Today I'm linking up with Jamie to share what I'm loving this week.

 

These breakfast wraps.

I'm obsessed.  

I find that I frequently go through 'food obsessions'.  I'll find something new that I like and eat it over and over and over again.  I'm not sure why I do this?  Anyways - I've had these every day this week for breakfast and even had one for dinner last night..They are so simple and yummy.  Just take a tortilla, throw on some peanut butter and then add granola & whatever fruits you like!  I've tried apple & banana and both are great!  It's also a great snack as well!

 

 

This movie date I have planned for this weekend with Nick

Ok.  So just to be clear, we aren't renting this movie.  Top Gun in 3D is playing at one of the IMAX theaters here.  Nick LOVES Top Gun - LOVES it.  When we were on vacation in San Diego a few years ago we had to go to Kansas City BBQ (aka the Top Gun Bar) and hang out for a night!

When he saw that it was playing at the IMAX, he immediately asked me if we could make a 'date' out of it!  :-)  Seriously, he is more excited than a kid on Christmas!

 

That we booked our hotel for our trip to Chicago next weekend.

We love Chicago.  When we lived in Milwaukee, it was just a quick 75 mile trip south - we would frequently go just for the day, usually taking the commuter train.  Now that we are in MN, the trips require a bit more planning!  We try to go a few times a year.  Nick & I both have friends that live there, so usually we end up meeting up for dinner/drinks with them. 

On our agenda for this trip is the Sears (Willis) Tower and a night out with our friends in Wrigleyville.  I'm sure we'll do some shopping along Michigan Ave as well!

 

 

 

The fact that we have another lazy weekend on the calendar. 

We spent so much of 2012 being so ridiculously busy.  Between both of us finishing up our MBA's and taking frequent trips back to Wisconsin to finish wedding planning - we just got a bit burned out on being away.  This weekend we really have nothing on the calendar (aside from our 'Top Gun' date) and I'm LOVING that!!



ok - I'm not sure why I found this polar bear being lazy so funny... but I did.  Plus - the snow seems fitting for MN!



 

What are you loving today??

 

 

Since I've been gone....

Wow... I knew I wanted to start a blog, however, I didn't realize the discipline it would take to sit down and write every night!!  Here's to hoping I get a bit better at keeping up with this!  :-)

Here's what we've been up to the past 2 weeks!

I traveled to Omaha for work...

My team at work are all field based- there are about 20 of us scattered all across the US - so we meet a few times a year to discuss projects/strategies to better serve our customers.  It's great to see people face to face and learn what my counterparts across the country are working on!  

Of course there is always the perk of hanging out with my teammates & getting to know them outside of work - all while going out for dinner & drinks at yummy restaurants!! 

We went house hunting

Nick and I are looking to buy a home.  Having just gotten married & both recently finishing up our masters programs, we finally have some time.  We're still not sure exactly what area of our city we want to live in - so we set out exploring what we could buy for our budget in different areas....

It was not as glamorous as the TV show makes it out to be.... Yuck!  We spent an entire weekend driving all around the metro area looking at homes and didn't find a single one that we liked!  A few realtors told us this was a 'low inventory' time - so we're just keeping our eyes open for something we like to come on this market.  (I have a feeling there will be many more posts about this!)  ;-)

We had date night...

We've been sooo busy the past few months with the wedding & school - that we really haven't had a 'date night' in forever.

We went to a fun little Mexican restaurant (on a recommendation of a friend)

The food was YUMMY!

Then we went and saw the movie 'Flight' at a theater near our house.

The past few days have been spent just hanging out and relaxing...

Check back soon for more updates!!
