While we wait...

So we're pretty much done with all the initial paperwork, interviews, etc. on our part. During the interviewing process however, we realized that we could be setting some goals and working on enhancing our family & marriage, as long as we're waiting. We do have a toddler in the house, so it's not like we're bored or anything, but we've talked about doing 'stuff' and haven't really set the actual goal to get the 'stuff' done. So it was a good nudge to get us rolling. Up first, is more date nights for Steve & I. We usually rely on Grandma to do most of the babysitting, but with this little nudge, I actually lined up two sisters in our ward that can alternate so we can have a weekly date night, plus the occasional overnighter at Grandma's (can't wait for our anniversary overnighter in a few weeks!). Steve has taken an interest in hiking, so we've also decided to incorporate more family hikes as well - and our little one couldn't be more pleased. We took our first family hike this weekend - it was short and sweet, perfect for starters. Goal #3 - potty training - so far, so good.
