Lately...

Lately, we...

* had a great time visiting friends. Sam and I headed downtown a couple weekends ago to cook out on the rooftop of The Claridge with Laura, Caroline, and Fred. It was great catching up and hanging out. We have our next get-together in just a couple weekends.

* bought a new grill for our early six year anniversary. This thing is fabulous.... it has three infrared grill plates that can be removed and thrown in the dishwasher for easy cleaning, plus a side warmer. It's also really pretty! We've already been cooking on our new toy.

* did a major makeover on our flower beds. It seems like we and weeds have been in a major battle with one another the last two years. So, Sam and I decided to try a new remedy. We bought weedblock fabric, pulled up almost every plant/shrub from the flower beds, put down the weedblock, and then rearranged the shrubs to plant them again. We put the ones that have outgrown their old home in a new area and even had a couple extra to put in the back. So, the backyard patio area got a little makeover, too.

* have been at the gym like crazy! Sam is now running seven miles on the treadmill, and I am proud to say I can do the elliptical between 6 and 8 mph for an hour. We are planning to sign up for the Harbortown 5k.

*have started round 6 of Clomid. Round 5 was promising because my levels went up. That was good news.

*have been thinking about other home projects we'd like to begin. It looks like we'll be finishing the flooring projects in the bedrooms this summer and then thinking about what we'd like to do from there.

* got my last grade for the masters program. I am proud to say that I finished with a 4.0 GPA!

* have been wanting to try some new recipes. Tonight I made fruit salsa with cinnamon/sugar tortilla chips. Tomorrow night we'll be having grilled apple honey chicken with sweet potatoes and baked asparagus. I'll post recipes soon.

Just 7.5 more days of work!
