Questions

1. What happened to Jericho's blog?
I really don't know, that's why I asked.

2. Why is concrete so expensive?
No clue. We've had driveway estimates that range from $2350 - $5,000. I thought it was going to be more like $1,500! Its just concrete!

3. Why do I feel bad about being a member of the 'No Kids Club'?
Another one I can't answer. We aren't ready for kids, I know that. But it still feels like I'm being rejected from an exclusive club (that I don't even want to join, yet!).

4. Why is eating out so tempting?
Because it is bad for you, and expensive. And that my friends is the American way. Josh and I plan meals (yummy ones, too) and grocery shop every week. There is always plenty of food at our house. Yet, eating out is so hard to resist!

5. Is my work group moving to a different office?
Supposedly. There are good and bad points to this.

6. How jealous of Kell am I?
VERY. She and Tom leave in a few days for a three week vacation...in Hawaii!

7. Why is everything that Josh and I want to do while we are on vacation in Tucson booked solid?
Because it is tourist season and I failed to plan until this week. Oops.

8. Why am I getting up early on Saturday morning?
Because I got a speeding ticket a few weeks ago and don't want the points on my license or my insurance company to find out. So, from 8:30-12:30 this Saturday morning I will be actively participating in 'Adult Traffic Safety'. Wooh.

9. Why is it so hard to get to bed early, or even on time during the week (10 PM)?
If I knew the answer to this I wouldn't be so tired all the time. I'd probably be rich, too.

10. Where will Josh and I be having our Easter dinner?
The Atlanta, Georgia airport. We'll be on a layover coming home from our mini vacation to visit my dad. I suppose that's just as good a place as any...

I can answer a few....
3. Because if you had your own kids, you would not find mine so much fun to hang out with :) Then who would spoil him and bring Skittles everytime we see eachother?? He loves you!
7. Because you should stay here for the Craig Morgan concert :)
8. Does Josh read your blog? I thought that this was a post secret??
10. We can have a "post" Easter dinner sometime the week of the 24th... Maybe tacos and Coronas again? That sounds Easter-ish!!! :)

Now you can go to bed with a clear head because I have answered some of your questions for you - and that takes care of #9!!!

1) Good question! I'm confused as well.

3) Don't feel bad! When you are ready for kids you'll be way ahead of other first time moms because of all the practice you have with our kids and well, you are a natural at it! For real, you're are wonderful with Madison! (Forget about her meltdown that one time... she would have had one even if Dan and I were there).


4) Not having to do dishes or cook is way tempting. I know the feeling, I eat out more than I plan to every week.

9) Another good question! Going to bed for me is always an hour later than I planned.

10) How many times can you say you've eaten Easter dinner in the Atlanta airport? It's a life experience :)

3. If it makes you feel better about the no kids club, I am jealous of the opposite sometimes. I love my babies, but Ava was 4 months old when JR and I started dating, so we've never had any time where it was 'just us.' We've gotten through it, but it definitely makes it harder. And since we have no family close enough to babysit for just a few hours, we never even get to go have a drink or dinner just without planning a month in advance. It's hard! You'll know when you're ready. Enjoy your time to just be a newly married couple:)

I will answer #3. my theory is that the grass looks lush and green on the other side. and then you go over there and you're like "wait. mine wasn't so bad after all." example: the first thing I do in the morning is change two people's diapers and feed them PRIOR to drinking my much-needed coffee at Kobe's toddler table WHILE I play Thomas when I should really be working but I can't because my kid will have a tantrum of I leave the toddler table.
if anything, I think people w/ kids start to feel like they're out of the "cool/single/free" club.

1. no clue - I figure she's hiding from us

2. concrete is so expensive that we chose to lay a paver patio instead of having a concrete one poured at our last house, we have an asphalt drive now, but I would prefer concrete - the estimate was 8K - more than our roof cost!

3. Please don't rush into parenthood, and don't feel pressured into it either. J and I waited 4 years (not really intentionally, but still) and I will always cherish those years. So just enjoy each other, enjoy your full nioghts of sleep, and enjoy playing with other people kids for awhile longer. You'll know when the right time is :)
