March maddness

Goodness the month of March has flown by! Both Kurtis and I have birthdays in March. This year Kurtis turned 26 and me 24. After various high aspirations of traveling to far off destinations like Chicago, Hawaii or the Wisconsin Dells..we decided to stick around here and celebrate quietly. We went out to eat with friends for our birthdays, bought ourselves small indulgences to appease our childlike desire for birthday presents and ate a fabulous dessert Kurtis made for me! Now, I haven't explained that Kurtis is a master chef. He can cook great food (when I let him) and he follows the recepie to a T! No subsitutes or cutting corners for this top chef. For this particular birthday occasion he insisted on making 'dirt and worms' - a finger-licking tub of yummyness. Who knew pudding could taste so good!? It also had 2 packages of gummy worms!! (I'm a sucker for any fruity-flavored gummy treat)


We also got to start working on preparing our yard for springtime and our house for the new baby. On the beautiful days we raked leaves, cut back old growth and took care of the unsightly posts that are cemeted in the backyard for some mysterious reason.. Kurtis only has 1 more out of 6 to remove.. I began organizing the baby's room and clearing the house of all winter items finally! Pictures to come! I also headed into my last trimester with my pregnancy. It's crazy how close yet so far I am from my June due-date. We started our child-birth class too, which makes it seem more real. Only 10 weeks left! Don't be fooled by this picture though, I'm bigger then I seem!

I guess the last thing we did in March is start Kurtis' GMAT class. He's planning on going back to school to get an MBA in the coming year and needed a boost on this insanely hard test! He's studying like a mad-man and I'm trying to use my time wisely instead of watching American Idol... :) Yes, I admit it. I've become an American Idol addict. I've NEVER followed any of the seasons but got hooked early on with this one. It's those stupid yet hilarious audition shows that get you! I've decided the final 2 will be Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert. Adam scares me some days but he's got the most amazing voice. I still really like Lil Rounds and Allison Iraheta but don't think they'll make it. Anyway, goodbye March, hello April!
