“Put your hands on the wheel / Let the golden age begin…”

—Beck / LXv1.0

I know, you guys, I’m awful. Just not an updat-er as of late. What can I say? And in my favorite month no less! And now it is November and we’ve been married 5 years and we have a 4-month-old and life life life…!

But I had such an awesome weekend and would like to record (some of) that…SO!

EOTW:
FRIDAY I took the day off to be with Baby so we could go out at night for the Anniversary. It was a pleasant day of naps and playing. Nighttime rolled around and Grandma Sue came to babysit. I picked Jeff up at work to take him to a SECRET SURPRISE place for dinner which was BAR LA GRASSA which was AMAZING. We ate plate after plate after plate of pasta…gnocchi with cauliflower and orange, crab ravioli, raw tuna(! I even liked it!), and of course Jeff’s fave…pasta carbonara. He was in HEAVEN. So was I. We also enjoyed a bottle of wine and some incredible bruschetta (lobster and egg! yes!). It was a glorious time of just sitting, eating, joking, enjoying, and being together. What a perfect way to spend our anniversary! We did not make the movie due to Excessive Pasta Consumption and instead drove down to the Guthrie. Jeff had not been there! We walked in and an enthusiastic worker gave us the Insider Info on where to go. To the 8th floor bathrooms it was! Among other things. We went out on the overlook and took in cold nighttime Minneapolis. Our beautiful city. Our beautiful each-other-ness. Home! I’m so lucky to have Jeff.

And then to our home-home. Bed!

SATURDAY we went to look at a house! It wasn’t quite right but it was fun. We don’t know what our plan is, ha. Jeff got in a workout then off to the U where all three of us enjoyed the beautiful day and walking around campus. We went in the ballroom and stood at the spot where we got married. Memories! Then over to McNeal. We looked at all the “Design and its Discontents” exhibits (very Jasper-like) and joked around in the ‘Treehouse’ work area. So fun!!! We also made fun of the OLD professor photos. Time for an update folks!

Went home, I went on a bike ride which was gorgeous. Lots of fun playtime at home. I got to make a new recipe for dinner – squash and sausages! – and that was great. I then fell into bed but did not get as good of sleep as I needed. Ah such is life.

SUNDAY I got up early for playtime. Then naptime. Then more playtime. We had a really relaxed day at home. Headed out for an afternoon walk with Baby all bundled up, and she fell asleep. Loved watching her eyes close. SO cute. The wind was crazy, the leaves were gorgeous and the sun was brilliant. Checked out a new ‘hood and fell in love. Fun!

Finally home, dinner was chili and cookies 🙂 and so nice. We even had that extra hour to enjoy life.

See, this is why I don’t update much any longer…I don’t know what to write about Baby yet she is such a giant part of our life. But at least I’ll remember most of this. The Golden Age.
