welcome to miami

Per usual things are moving along in 5th gear in our house... we are tackling the seemingly overwhelming challenge of packing for the big move. So far the pictures are bubble wrapped and boxed and the bookshelves are boxed. I've started on the kitchen and we're working on selling our big wooden bed frame (it was a hand-me-down and totally not my style...see below). Mr. F is also finishing up a chapter he wrote for a soon to be published medical book and we're in the final stages of pulling together the last details of our blessing next week. I'm SO excited.

Those last details include the South Beach diet (for Mr. F & I) and nightly applications of self-tanner lotion (you know, the kind in body lotion that gradually takes effect) because I REFUSE to fake n bake. We're also using teeth whitening strips to get picture perfect. We are a hot bed of vanity these days :)

Aidan is also growing up so fast and I cant believe he'll be 18 mos this month. How the heck did that happen?! I've tried to capture him on film, but he just moves so fast! He's also really enjoying our packing endeavors as he's learned how to climb and loves moving box forts. This morning I was pointing to my belly telling Aidan thats where he used to live (the kid is obsessed with bellies). He promptly told me "baba (belly)! poop!" We couldnt stop laughing... maybe we'll be potty training soon!

Additionally, I'm so happy to report I GOT A JOB!!! I can't believe it, but its true:) I start mid-june and am beyond excited to be able see money coming in instead of just going out... there wont be much left after day care and student loans, but it doesnt matter :) I hope everyone is loving this beautiful weather as much as we are!

Finally, here is a picture of the wedding reception from this past weekend. We had a great time... can you tell?! :)
