+ aj came home on wednesday (and is here until tuesday night!) and it's been so great to have him around for a few days!
+ i worked like crazy to get all of my hours in from sunday-tuesday because of aj being home, so i maybe drank a lot of coffee this week!

I'm so glad you guys started your counseling! How fun. I can't wait to hear more about it! There definitely were so many great links this week!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous you got to go see a late night show! I think Seth and I would fall over if we got to see The Tonight Show!!
ReplyDeletePuzzles are so much fun! My husband and I like the 4D puzzles, which are 3D puzzles that you build chronologically. Dan did the Chicago and Manhattan ones himself, but we did the Paris puzzle together after we got married. Once I move down to Georgia with him, we'll start the Toronto puzzle!
ReplyDeleteyayyy! your first/only valentine's day as a fiance--SO EXCITING! seeing a late night show sounds so fun. what made you guys decide to do it? and i love family birthday parties, too :)
ReplyDeleteMy sister loves that late night show!
ReplyDeleteit's so good! :)
ReplyDeletewe saw Jimmy back in July and he was wonderful! But I honestly think I liked Seth more! He came out before the show and thanked us all for being there, and then while the band was setting up, he came up into the audience and let us ask him questions! he was very cool :)
ReplyDeleteIt IS so exciting! :) Since we're so close to NYC, and we are huge fans of both The Tonight Show & Late Night, we've always wanted to go to a taping...AJ managed to get tickets to see The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon back in July and it was great, and he was browsing Twitter in January and saw Seth tweet that they were releasing tickets for February dates, so he randomly went on and snagged four tickets! It was totally out of the blue, but was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteOooh...those sound fun! I've never done a 3D puzzle, but I'm a total puzzle lover, so I might have to try one someday!
ReplyDeleteWe saw The Tonight Show back in July and it was a total blast! Tickets are really hard to get to see Jimmy....AJ spent over an hour on the computer in a queue before he was able to get them. Tickets to see Late Night were much much easier to get, and I'd say that Seth was equally as good!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a good first session, and has definitely opened up some good conversations for us already! I was excited about it going into it, (AJ not so much....haha)....but that's the extrovert/introvert discrepancy. I'm really excited about how it will set us up for having good conversations in marriage!
ReplyDeleteI've always liked Seth too! So fun!!!
