Driving into St. Louis last night I wrote a letter to McDonalds as we drove over the river, I thought I would share it with you...
To Whom it May Concern at the McDonalds Cooperation,
I have recentely relocated near St. Louis and was devastated to find out that there used be a McDonalds Riverboat. I can guarantee I would frequent this location were it still available.
Sincerely,
-Really wanting to go on the riverboat.

the Secret Life...
.. of the Archeology Professor
Last night I watched Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, and I'm pretty sure it was my first time seeing it, although I think I've seen clips in the past. And of course, who can forget the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular at Disney World!
Greg still isn't sure how I've made it 23 years without seeing it, and he's glad he didn't ask before we were married otherwise he would have had to reconsider...
But the rest of the Indiana Jones series are on the netflix cue, so I'll be getting my super cute archeology professor fix in the next few weeks.
Can you even imagine how much more you would have paid attention in class if you had a super cute professor, who not only was easy on the eyes, but ran all over the world risking his life to collect artifacts for a museum? And to keep them from the Nazis?! And I'm not talking lame digs that my professors would talk about, I'm talkin' pits filled with snakes and being chased by crazy natives in South America.
He's so cool.

Frustrated
I think last night I reverted to being a 2 year old.
Greg had to put up with me throwing temper tantrums all night, "I don't want to go to the gym, I love my sagging arms" etc....
Then after he convinced me that we've already paid for the gym, so unless I'm going to just start throwing money down the garbage disposal, we shouldn't waste our money at the Four Seasons either. So I put on my sneaks and my awesome new sports bra (seriously, the bounce stops here ladies) and I went to grab my keys... which were gone.
To be honest, this probably happens every time I go to find my keys, but this time they were seriously gone, we looked EVERYWHERE! I was throwing a fit, and Greg really doesn't do well with this type of things, so he started looking in places where I obviously didn't leave the keys.. like the washing machine? And of course that made me frustrated because I KNOW I didn't leave them there, you know? Anyway, they're still missing.
So we went to the gym, and I was fine, I didn't cry nearly as much as I thought I would....
On top of that, everyone talks about how awesome those ovulation strips are when you want to get pregnant, I hate them. You have to pee in a cup for one, I don't even like to do that at the doctor's office, I usually lie and tell them I haven't had anything to drink for weeks so there is no fluid in my body to possibly fill up that cup. And it's been too many negatives, talk about disappointing! I feel like I'm failing in some important class in college. Oh the humanity. Plus I think I'm just using it as an excuse not to trust that God has way more control over my biology than a piece of paper.

Our Summer Comforter!
I'm all about the duvet cover, you can change the look of your bedroom and still keep your awesome down comforter. Plus, I bought an awesome duvet cover at the Pottery Barn Outlet for super cheap, saving money always makes things awesomer.
But not this summer, it's just too hot out here in the plains to keep a down comforter on your bed throughout the summer! So I splurged on a Dwell Studio quilt from Target. Although I'm not sure if you can really call it a "splurge" when you get it at Target. Whatever. It's awesome.

It's called "Sevilla," it reminds me every night of our first year of marriage in España! And how cute are our puppies, I mean seriously. Goyo loves to look out the window into the backyard, and in case you can't find Lola, here's a close up...
I love her.

Bathroom Adventures
you weren't sure where this post was going... were you?
Lucky for you, I'll keep my bathroom secrets just that. Secrets.
Anyway, Greg went to Delaware for a wedding this weekend. I would have loved to go to, but since airline prices go up like 3x in the summer months, it wasn't really an option. Our friends Matt and Meghan are getting married, and they're super good looking-so it'll probably be an awesome wedding. Hopefully he'll remember to take pictures!
To keep me occupied while he's away, I've decided that our basement bathroom needs some serious cosmetic surgery. It's painted like a weird blue/gray color, which isn't so bad, but it just makes it feel dark and dingy. And I hate letting our guests use it because I think it's scary in there! So I'm on a mission to make it warm and inviting in 72 hours. As much fun as Greg and I have doing projects together, I think they just stress him out. So I gave myself a $100 budget, and I've already got started.
Last night I took off all of the hardware, and managed to shatter a mirror that produced lots of baby cuts on my hands, but I'm ok! Only to find that whoever did the bathroom the first time was super lazy, the paint is peeling because there was no primer on the vinyl wall-board, luckily this is only the case on one of the walls. So I did some research and went to Home Depot today to buy a primer called "Gripper" which helps paint adhere to glossier surfaces. And then I came home, peeled off as much paint as I could with a wide puddy knife, lightly sanded, and primed the wall. I'm really proud of myself!
Like I mentioned before, Greg has the camera, so I wasn't able to get any good before shots, but I'll make sure to put up the after photos, and you'll have to let me know if you wouldn't mind using that bathroom =)

Stupid Commercials
I am usually pretty good at not getting annoyed by the T.V and how many ridiculous commercials/scripts that someone approves. But there is one that makes me want to throw our T.V into the wall.
(You can take a moment to muster up your anger so that we're on the same page)
Special K.... is it just me or in every one of their commercials there is a beautiful girl who is trying to "lose weight" The one with the girl in the red dress... she can't possibly weigh more than 100 pounds! Oh it makes me so angry!
I think we should stage a revolution.
