You know what tastes really good together?  Cran-grape juice and pretzel sticks.  I don't know why I love it so much.  Maybe because when I was in college this was basically the only food contents in my dorm room and I ate it religiously while writing papers so it's a comfort food of sorts.

So, I'm laying on the floor in Rob's office while he listens to The Faint and builds websites. Simon is sitting directly in front of me staring longingly at every pretzel I put into my mouth.  Anyway...there's a lot going on/coming up for us in 2012 and we are trying to get everything organized.  Right now that means me cleaning out our file cabinet and organizing all our paperwork.  For Rob that means catching up on his freelance work.  Hopefully in the near future my life will look a lot less like a nanny and more like Rob's task manager :)

It is also looking like this spring my parents are finally going to gut the basement in our/their house (we rent from them).  This will be excellent because we can move Rob's office stuff down there where there is more room and he can set up his little studio space.  I'm also hoping that the new space will be more conducive to his music-making skills as he really enjoys doing that but it hasn't really been something he's been doing lately.

Well, I wish I had more to say about my life but I am really boring as of late.

instax!

Rob's sister and brother got me an instax mini camera for Christmas!  The pictures are quite smaller than the size of a regular polaroid (approximately the size of a credit card) but they are so fun!  And film doesn't cost $50+ for one pack!  I think this camera and I are going to be very good friends.

aaaand you can even buy little albums for them!?!  I'm geeking out over here.

I saw this amazing makeover on design*sponge today and now I have the urge to obtain a piece of furniture in which I can do something exactly like this to.  Unfortunately my energy level has been on empty for these past few weeks.  Also, all I want to do is eat chocolate ice cream.  For real.  I had chocolate ice cream for both breakfast and dinner.  Someone's gonna get faaaaaaaaattttttt.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

hmm....my favorite memory of 2011?  easy.  our one-yer anniversary trip to st. joseph, michigan.

it was just a long weekend, but it was literally perfect.  we had a fun drive (5 hours from cincinnati), great hotel room, awesome location with lots of pretty things to see and fun things to do.  i'm actually afraid to go back because of how perfect it was.

and now, for our big goals in 2012:

(drum roll, please)

1. pay off rob's student loans

2. pay off my car

and then we will be debt free!  woohoo!
