something other than babies

I am currently having my very first early morning snuggle with Maelle and I am, as you can probably guess, LOVING it. I watched the sun rise this morning while Maelle was swaddled up in the Chimparoo sling Milena has.  I took an online tutorial to learn how to use it this morning just so I could use it. Maelle seems to enjoy it just as much as I do.

I know my babies are all I have blogged about recently. The reason for that is quite simple... all I do is work and then I hang out with my girlfriends and/or their babies on my days off. Don't worry, Erik works evenings so this usually doesn't interfere with our time together. We've been having pretty awful schedules actually - we hardly have any evenings off together. I don't know when that will change, but I can't wait! I'm almost excited for school to start just because I will have more time to spend with Erik.

Erik and I are going to Cirque Du Soleil for our anniversary! I was not so keen on the idea because I'm cheap, but Erik begged a bit and told me he has "always wanted to go". I think I believe him, but he mainly said it to sucker me into going with him. I was so cheap, in fact, that I was going purchase two individual tickets so we could go for $20 cheaper each... but the ladies at work convinced me that was a bad idea.  Think about it for a second, we are just going to be watching the show! Who cares if we don't sit with each other because we can just chat about the show later. That was better than my first suggestion - to send Erik on his own. But no, we are going together and our tickets are costing a little bit more. I hope it's worth it!

Erik also purchased tickets to go see Sufjan in Seattle in October. We are taking Erik's sister with us. I am so excited for that concert! Again, I suggested that Erik go on his own, but he wasn't interested. I'm fairly certain that Erik bought the tickets without consulting me. To be fair, the Seattle tickets were almost half the price of the Vancouver ones and I did say he could go on his own... I'm not complaining too much because I LOVE Sufjan.

I probably won't update for a while because I am going camping with Mandi and Sawyer today. Then we have a church camp out this weekend. Then I'm home for a bit. Then I'm going to Abbotsford to hang out with my sister-in-law and Hailey while Anthony's gone. Then I have cirque du soleil. Then I go back to work. Yes, I do have a full set off!!! No work until the 31st! I am so excited.
