Fab Friday Link Up!!

Today I'm linking up to celebrate the FAB in my life!  

Here are the things I'm celebrating this week!!

Fab #1 

my Superbowl winnings in the work pool - granted I really didn't care about the game, but I was pumped that somehow I landed the correct numbers to 'win' the first quarter in our work pool!!
 

Fab #2

the phone date I had with my wonderful friend Heather!  We really hadn't talked since the wedding and it was so great to hear her voice and catch up on her life.  She has 3 beautiful kiddos and unfortunately they've been battling the flu for a few weeks at her house - here's to hoping thats over with now!

Fab #3

yesterday was FREE BAGEL DAY at Brueggers!!  The work girls and I were all over that!  Yummy!!

Fab #4- #5

I'm heading back to WISCONSIN this weekend!!!  This counts for at least 2 'fabs' this week!  I get to see my wonderful family, hopefully some high school friends AND we are going bridesmaid dress shopping for my sisters upcoming wedding!!  I CAN'T wait!!

My brother & sister in law @ our wedding

My parents with  my sister & her fiance @ our wedding

my fabulous high school ladies @ my bridal shower

Tell us what is FAB in your life this week!!!

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!!
