Well we are in the middle of moving so I will only be able to update by Nook or phone so I can't load pictures. So I will have to take a break from the 30 day challenge until everything gets hooked up at the new place!
But we really love our new place! Not only is it closer to my family and friends, but it is also a lot larger than our old apartment. :) We can't wait to have everyone over for a housewarming bbq party! I already bought a pink flamingo for the front yard!

Day 3 – Your idea of the perfect first date.
Well I doubt I will go on a first date ever again since I'm married and all. Haha. But my idea of a perfect first date would be something where there isn't a whole lot of pressure. Maybe a walk in the park, funny movie, laid back dinner. On our first date we went to eat at Cable Car Pizza and went and saw a scary movie.

Day 30 – A photograph of youself today + three good things that have happened in the past 30 days
Day 1: My day was pretty awesome. It started with Don and Barbara watching the kids and David and I going to a bunch of yard sales and flea markets. We stopped and got ice cream cones from Braums and got to spend about 4 hours without the kids. When we picked up the kids they were both napping on the back porch with Don and Barbara (so cute!!!) and Don told us that they took the kids in the wagon for a long walk around the neighborhood and took them down to a pond and the got to see a bunch of geese. So we loaded the kids up in the car and drove home. Well, the only bad part of the day was when we were less than a mile from home the serpentine belt on our car just shredded off but thankfully our car still was running (just the steering went out) and we were able to safely make it home. But we got all that figured out and it will get fixed this week. But after that David had to go to work and the kids and I cleaned house and watched Up again. Now Harper is snoozin' in bed and Micah is almost asleep. Great day! :)
