It's been forever since I've been here! There've been several exciting things that I have neglected to mention here, and that's what I do, sooo...
Let's see, there was Mad Max. I wish it was that exact moment again when it was just coming on. One of the best movies I've seen in theatres in a long time.
There was Panama City. That was fun! I'm not a beacher and the more times I go the more I realize that. But we had a great time. Perfect weather!
There was Biltmore for my birthday ♥ That's always the best time ever. You can't explain it to someone that's never been there, they have to experience it for themselves. It's a feeling. And that's my favorite kind of place. It was also the first time we'd been to downtown Asheville, which is an amaaazing place. We booked a food tour that was so much fun. It's a guided walking tour that goes to 7 different restaurants. They opened just for us and had these small portions of food and wine at each, so you could sample the best things on their menu. It was a little pricey but it was worth it. We loved it and would do it again in a heartbeat! I love any place in North Carolina and Asheville was just as awesome as all the other places I've fallen in love with. Can't wait to go back!
Then there was our Mothers Day gathering with wine and that's when it happened. When aunt Tammy brought out her Outlander books and dvds. I had heard of it but knew nothing at all about it. She let me borrow part one of season 1 and that was the end of me. The first 8 episodes are on those dvds so of course, the second we finished that we had to call our cable network and paid to have Starz. So then we finished the other 8 episodes. And then I started them all again. And again. And somewhere in the middle of that, I spent $70 on the books as well haha. I recommend watching the show first before starting the books. I usually don't, but in this case I do. I'm trying to talk a friend of mine into these books and she keeps saying but it's mushy lovey romance. Which I understand, thats a very fine line that can turn me off too, but this is different! It's not too mushy and there's blood and gore and terrible! All the best things!
And we've finally settled on a decision for now about babies. We've gone so back and forth and had such turmoil deciding what we really wanted. We got impatient as well, when we had to wait so many months for a good folicle and then a surgery and then waiting to heal from that and then the procedure and then waiting some more. There are a couple other things that we know would take even longer if we were to keep trying. So then we talked seriously about adoption. Looked into what all it would entail. Which is a hell of a lot. But all the while, in the back of both our minds, we're both happy with the way our life is now. Neither of us feel like we're missing something. We like our time. And we like to travel. I think you should be absolutely sure about having a child, so if the time comes that we ever are 100% sure, then we'll do it then. And then after we came to this decision, we both felt such relief. And there's our answer.
So now we're looking ahead to turning our dining room into this:
It's the same picture I've had since we moved in here. We've had a couple consultations with builders on price and how long it would take but kept stopping for money reasons or whatever but we're finally moving along with it! I really can't belive it. But it is much needed!
I've been feeling very uninspired lately. So I'm hoping this new project will help light a fire under my ass!
I am on the mend from strep throat. It's been a rough week indeed so I am happy it's Friday and happy to be feeling better!
