    5: We decided to take a belated anniversary trip for cheap.  We are going to Harpers Ferry sometime in the next few weeks and we are going to bring our not-so-warm-weather camping gear and camp out for a few nights.  We wont have to worry about the expense of eating out, because yay, campfire and camp stove!  We are planning on biking along the C&O Canal, hiking on the Appalachian Trail some, and kayaking on the Potomac.  It's great because we'll be starting (belatedly) our fifth year of marriage on a very healthy and frugal note.  Those are also our three favorite outdoor activities to do, so bonus!
    I want to get to Harper's Ferry sometime this year.  We practically live at Gettysburg and we've done Antietam/Sharpsburg so I think that will be next on our list.
    We would move near there if we didn't have to stay here.  It's not all that far away from us though.  We have talked, and I'm pretty sure we have settled on moving there when we don't have obligations tying us to our current town. 
    I loved visiting Gettysburg, but Antietam scared me a little too much the last time I was there.

  • I needed this today.  I'm in a pretty negative mood.

    1. I have a job doing what I love

    2. DH is pretty awesome

    3. My kitties keep me sane.  Nothing makes me happier than knowing I get to come home to them and DH at the end of stressful days.

    4. I have a bigass bottle of wine in the fridge.

    5. Even when things are rough I can still fully escape into a book and find my zen.

  • 1. My DH is the most awesome dad and husband and we rarely/never fight.  
    2. My friends are super thoughtful and make the time to hang out.
    3. I'm getting better at using my DSLR and it's such a fun new hobby for me.
    4. I get to stay at home with my daughter which has basically been my dream since forever.  She is the best thing ever and being a mom is way better than I ever even imagined.
    5. My dog is a great snuggle puppy.

  • 1. My husband is being super supportive and there for me. I'm going through a lot right now with my depression and he's been an amazing help. 

    2. My daughter is so amazing and beautiful. I'm so thankful to have her in my life. She's a blessing. 

    ...and that's all I got right now.

  • I have one more to add...I get paid maternity leave, 12 weeks paid. I am so very lucky, seeing as how many people on my BMB are going out at a percentage of their pay or no pay whatsoever.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

    I've been trying to find a job near Gettysburg or Harrisburg so we can move there.  Not working out, unfortunately.

    I've only been to Antietam once.  We were near Bloody Lane with our equipment when a little boy and his grandparents walked up to us.  They'd been following us through the battlefield since the little boy was into ghost hunting.  They wanted to take pictures with us so he could tell his friends that he met two ghost hunters on vacation.  We didn't get much while we were there though.

  • 1. My girls. I love just watching them, especially when DD1 kisses DD2 and whispers, "I love you."

    2. My husband has been very helpful since we had DD2.

    3. I've been really happy and much less stressed since being on maternity leave.

    4. I finished a book today, which is something that I haven't been doing much.

    5. I spent all of today taking care of babies and reading.

  • 1. I was told that I should hopefully have very little problems getting pregnant with my IUI treatment this morning. Yay!
    2. There have been new archaeology sites opened up in Iceland, any my work are sending me their for three weeks in June for a nosy around, which'll be great because I've not been able to speak to any native Icelandic speakers in an AGE.
    3. My kitten has stopped trying to ruin all of the furniture in my flat.
    4. My Aunt is coming to see me next weekend, and I haven't seen her in a while.
    5. I have FINALLY finished The Beating of his Wings by Paul Hoffman after leaving my hardback copy on the tube three months ago with only 60 pages left to read.
