valentine's date - trampoline gym!

This was mine and Dan's seventh Valentine's day together and at this point, I think we're out of ideas. What will we do when we're on our 20th or 30th or 50th V-day?????

BUT I came up with something super fun and funny and different this year!

TRAMPOLINE GYM!

This place sort of near us called Skyzone has indoor trampolines - you can just jump on their regular wall to wall trampolines, or play dodgeball, or practice shooting hoops, and jump into a foam pit. It was pretty cheap too. We bought hour passes - which was a little long for us but still fun.

It was a lot of fun but wow, super tiring!! We got to sort of try tricks and just goofed off and we had a blast jumping in the main trampoline area.





Happy (belated) Valentine's Day from the Cowheys...  :)

cold cold winter!

THIS WINTER HAS BEEN COLD!

So sadly, we have not done much except stay inside under the covers (well just me, Dan is never cold).

But here are some fun pictures of things that have happened lately:

I've been practicing my yoga

I swung on some swings for a bit

I am slowly buying all those "little things" for our house (rugs, etc)


Been hanging out with this guy a lot


 Dan took me on a lunch date to the new Shake Shack (we love it there)



 We had a fun NYE party


 I've been cooking and using my kitchen!!


Busy busy but as the weather will hopefully we will get outside a lot more on some adventures :)

christmas in philadelphia

Dan and I decided to take this dreary Sunday and drive into the city to see the light show and Dicken's Village at Macys. We've done it almost every year (maybe every?) since 2010 so it's a nice little tradition we've got going on. Luckily the rain held out except for a couple drops and it was weirdly warm - almost 70! We talked around the Christmas Village at Love Park as well and did a lap or two around Reading Terminal Market. Dan even took me for a cheesesteak after!


the most delicious pretzels! 








isn't he so cute? :)

soda break at Reading Terminal Market!!




i think the light show is pretty lovely. i can't wait to take a kid there one day

yum!!






Merry Christmas!

blogging again!

Life has definitely gotten very busy.... and I really have no excuse for not blogging. But apparently my blog has some demanding readers (ha!) so I figured it would be great to start this baby back up again, especially with Christmas right around the corner!

Well, we moved into our house! We've basically fixed up the whole thing (with a huge thanks to Dan's parents who built me a kitchen and new bedroom and to my dad who also has helped and let us use his truck to move things). The kitchen is not QUITE done, still some painting left to do and random other things but its usable!





The yellow is actually VERY cool - warm and happy! The lighting and crappy iphone quality makes it look sort of bright! I absolutely LOVE our new kitchen.

And we have a TV room.





It's a mess (when is my living arrangements not a mess?) but you get the idea :)

We also have a bathroom...



And here is OUR bedroom.... sorry for the unmade bed :)  Max likes to sleep there during the day!



That is messy too.... but mostly because I am still trying to figure out where to put things! And we need curtains......   but a Container Store is opening up near us soon so I'll be checking that out to look for good and nice boxes and organizational tools .....

We have a laundry room...


I've never been so happy to do my own laundry.......

There are also two other bedrooms but they are not done and are just filled with things from the apartment. So you'll get to see those another day.

And last but not least.... OUR SUNROOM!!!



I think this is my favorite part! Can't wait to have a party or two here...

And our backyard!





Plus I asked made Dan put up Christmas lights!


We're so excited to finally be homeowners! It's exciting and scary but we hope to be here for a long time. And Max likes it too.

Expect this blog to be updated each week (I PROMISE!!!)   :) :)
