Seriously.

I am pretty sure no one reads my blog anymore since I never update. So I'll apologize to our Mothers- the real readers of this website. Sorry, Moms.

Things are quite hectic around here. Jackson is doing really well in his class. I think he is starting to get into the swing of things with being back in school.

I, on the other hand, am getting ready to wrap up my graduate school career. I graduate on June 4th. Can you even deal? I'm so excited. (I'll admit that I will feel somewhat lost without the title of "student" but I plan to be back in school- law school- before you know it!!)

I'm headed back to Indiana this weekend. I'm also coming back for like a week after April 15th. (Hurry up, April 15th. I'm tired.) I'll get to hang with Ms. Grace and finally see their new house! And hopefully meet a new, healthy nephew, Alex.

Jackson and I are headed to San Francisco in early May to see my friend Cali Kate. We're also staying in Pebble Beach one night. (Jackson is supposed to play golf, but he's trying to back out now so we'll see.)

With so much going on, I've just been trying to remind myself to enjoy the now and not always live in the future. I recommend finding the fun in each day as who knows when it will be our last.

This has gotten really long and kind of about nothing so I will end.

Valentine's Day (The movie)

We went to see Valentine's Day this weekend at the fancy theatres- yay. It was soo cute. My favorite part? Topher Grace's character was from INDIANA!!!! He had an IU poster in his room, referenced being from Muncie (which means he had totally been to Ivanhoe's!), and took some jokes from his L.A. friends about being from the Midwest. I loved it! The movie was super cute, too. :) I recommend it!

Snow Hike

I needed to work some this afternoon so Jackson took MacKenzie and went on a snowy hike. Look at poor little MacKenzie's snowy beard. Brr! The view of Red Rocks from the top of their climb. Look at all of that snow coming down. (Danielle THAT is snow!)
And this was MacKenzie the other night during the Olympics, but is about what she looks like now after her hike, too!

Funny

Today, I had a client ask me if I thought they were eligible for a black American Express card. They were sold on the ability to get great concert tickets as a perk of the card.

Let me tell you about a black AMEX...you have to spend $250,000 a YEAR on your AMEX to qualify.

Insane. People are insane.

There are children starving in Africa (and elsewhere) and you're spending $250,000 a year on your AMEX?

They qualified.

Puke.

Valentines

These are my two Valentines sitting together watching the Winter Olympics! We love it! :) We relaxed all day before making dinner: bruschetta, shrimp pasta, chocolate cake and ice cream. Whoa! I need to hit the gym now!

Tiffany

I count Jackson as one of the hardest people in the world to buy for because he is very picky. Do NOT try to buy him anything golf related because he is a golf stuff snob. Clothes? Forget it. So when a Tiffany's box came through the mail at my office for a client (his wife sent them to the P.O. Box that we collect mail from so he would not see them, but didn't tell us that so we opened them! HA!), I thought they'd be a great gift for Jackson. He likes french cuff shirts and has a few cheaper sets of cuff links that he wears fairly often. These were just so pretty. I think he will look awfully fancy in his Tiffany jewelry. ;)

P.S. I have never gotten a gift from Tiffany's from Jackson. (Only my from my Mom!) Just sayin', babe. ;)

THE bag

After looking for what seems like forever, I was able to find the PERFECT diaper bag for my sister today. She and I are seriously night and day because she did not care what her diaper bag looked like and was in no hurry to get it. I, on the other hand, will march right out and buy my diaper bag (a Kate Spade maybe? Louis Vuitton perhaps? It just depends.) the day that I find out I am pregnant. (IF that ever happens.) Anyway, today we found this bag at the Coach store and I could not leave it behind. I think she will LOVE it! :) I believe it will be her first Coach bag- I hope she doesn't get the fever! :)
