It's been a long time. I've spent some time away from blogging but no worries. I'm back.

So my vacation has been nice so far. Nothing exciting which kinda stinks but it's so much better than working.

Mike and I took Ethan and Micah to the Frederick Meijer Gardens on Wednesday. It was a beautiful sunny day and FMG has a wonderful outdoor kids area, so we thought it would be a perfect fit. The boys seemed to have a great time as did Mike and I plus I scored some wonderful pictures.

Mike and I stayed up late on Wednesday (first time in a loooong time) and watched a movie together in bed. It was nice and relaxing.

Thursday I did nothing. I wasn't feeling well and literally I didn't do much of anything including getting ready. The farthest I went was the mailbox :)

Friday we headed to Lansing and spent the day with Mike's mom. We had great conversation during lunch and then watched License to Wed which was cute. You know my love for Jim Halpert :) We had such a fun day ..... plus we left with a special gift and plants :) Does a day get better than that?

Today I had planned on going to the Alger's Heights Farmers Market but unfortunately today we finally received the much needed rain we've been waiting for :( While, I enjoyed hearing the rain this morning and feeling the breeze from bed, I can't help but selfishly wish it would have been nicer. I wanted to get some produce!

Mike's dad, Amy and the kids are coming to town today. We're excited to see them.

Well I should probably go do something other than watch the Food Network. I promise to update this again within the next few days.

and told to blog more often.

So here's a shorty:

1. I'm incredibly excited for Mark and Missy to get into town on Friday!

2. Thanks to a certain someone for Tuesday.

3. I'm on a mini vacation from work and I could not be more thrilled!!

So our house is officially on the market.

We met with our realtor today. He was painfully honest. He said there is a chance we'll lose money (like most sellers in GR) and to expect it to take awhile to sell. Although, I appreciate him not sugar coating it, it's still hard news to swallow.

However, I'm choosing to remain optimistic. It only takes one interested person. I think it's a cute house. Someone else has to think so too. Angela, you do not count :)

So if you know anyone interested in purchasing a house, let me know. I'm looking for a quick sale. I can't keep my house immaculate 24 hours a day for very long :)

Ok so I may not be rich but I'm about to become famous :)

How you may ask? Rachel, Mike and I were in our first movie video!!

There is a video series called Nooma (www.nooma.com) and the production crew has been staying at our hotel. Rachel made friends with the AD (Asst Director for all non-movie actors :)) and asked if we wanted to be extras in the movie. We jumped on the chance and spent a couple hours downtown last night filming. It was oodles of fun. We really think this might be our big break, right Rach?

So watch out Hollywood, here we come :)

I should be cleaning OR grocery shopping. I'm currently doing neither but watching Paula Deen and wanting to bake something.
