I want.....
a baby! A cute, cuddly, fun to dress baby. No no, not one of those ones that cries and can't use the bathroom. That's just crazy talk ;)
It's so interesting all the emotions that go along with not wanting a baby (right now) to I NEED A BABY. A couple years ago, I was perfectly fine with where we were at in our life. Now, it completely feels like something is missing. Not all days but more days than not. My husband feels it too. Maybe not as strongly nor on a daily basis but still something he thinks about. Unfortunately, I just don't get knocked up easily. But we'll save that story for another day.
For 99% of the time thus far I have been completely focused on all the amazing wonderful things that come with a baby i.e. who will they look like, the baby smell, the cuddles and love, all the firsts, decorating a nursery. Don't get me wrong, none of these things are negated in my mind but since we've had more time than planned in the "trying phase," I feel like I've actually gained a better realization of how life will change. And it has actually helped me be more patient with this process.
I think of how if we have twins, it's entirely possible we will need 4 car seats because we'll probably split pick-up/drop-up. FOUR! Crazy! I know, very specific but it was the last thing I realized. Day care costs....enough said. Our mid-week wine nights with neighbors.....probably not happening too often. And most importantly, continuing to make time for your marriage and keep making sex tapes. Bahahahaha.
So this year has been all about doing all the things you can't do with a baby. Okay, well not that you can't but they would be A LOT harder. Pretty much we're boozing it up all weekend and taking adult friendly trips. We're making the best of it ;)
But....today is not one of those days that I'm excited to be where we are at. I want to hold my adorabley cute, blonde hair, baby smelling, mini-me. I'll shake it. I'll probably hear a song that makes me dance and I'll start thinking about our girl trip to Vegas. But for the moment, that longing and desire to be a mommy is on my mind.

Farmer's Market
It was kind of a perfect Sunday today.
We started the morning with a nice run. It was cool and quiet on the running trails today. We didn't push ourselves to hard and so we were able to chat a bit as we went. I don't know what it is about running for us but we often have some great conversations. I think it clears our head. Oh and maybe the rush of endorphins helps too.
We got back and decided to go to our local Farmer's Market. I have wanted to do this FOREVER and for whatever reason we hadn't made it over there. We have the cutest little town center in our city and it's the best place for a market.
We decided to take our dog Ruby. We thought walking around a lot of people would be good practice for our trip at the end of the month to Carmel. We walked around this little lake in the middle thinking we could "calm" her down and then preceded to make it through the market. Well, after the third unsuspecting child got a BIG wet kiss and my husbands arm was about to break off, we decided to divide and conquer. Meaning John would take Ruby away from the crowd while I shopped :)
There was tons of fresh produce, all local growers, and plenty of happy people. I love Farmer's Markets. We ended the outing by munching on some cherries and pluots and just sat and enjoyed the beautiful day :)
Haaaapppy Sunday!

Whine and Wine
Sorry I didn't post all week but I was not feeling too inspired to write. My job has just been kind of "ehhh" lately and it's left me pretty unhappy in the evenings which does not equal any type of interesting posts! I hate that! I really need to turn it around and just make the best of everything. I really do have a pretty great job but just recently we pulled the plug on a really exciting project that I had a big role in. It was going to be a big opportunity for me. I work in product development and it's difficult because often times things are just outside your control. I. don't. like. that. Not that I'm a control freak but I love to be challenged and was just having so much fun with the project. Alright, I feel better.
Let's play a little catch up. Last weekend we went to our friends house for a bbq. First one of the season and it was wonderful! These are our dearest friends (definitely more like family). John and I joined the group....oh, 7 years ago now and we still feel so lucky. You couldn't ask to be friends with better people.
A few things I've concluded about our parties....
1) There is always wine!
2) It almost always turns into a dance party. I hope the kids remember that about us! It's mostly for them....mostly ;) BTW- kids dance moves are hillarious these days!
3) The boys almost always have to get a poker game in and if Sean doesn't win soon I think they will be no more. Ha!
My mid-year New Years resolution was to take more pictures (you can do that right?). So the camera is fairly new to us. We might have to set some ground rules going forward. Like rule #1, no gang or peace signs. I wish I could show one pic of my friend...she's secretly conservative for her hubby but sometimes she lets her little wild side out ;). So you will get the "if my grandma ran accross this blog" pics....or boss!
We're going to a friends bday party tonight..Moroccan themed! Should be fun! And tomorrow, hopefully I can bust out some fun projects tomorrow to share with ya'll!
