Friday night at Red Mango with good people :)

April Somethings (new and improved with some instagram photos)

from this past month, here is something I...

...loved: 

Our anniversary.  We stayed at The Foshay, and they upgraded us to an incredibly large room on the 26th floor, overlooking Minneapolis.  We walked around the city during the day, eating yummy food and people watching.  And we walked over to the Orpheum to watch Mamma Mia.  It was a great anniversary.  Even in spite of Malachi unfortunately was sick and I unfortunately could not get much time off of work for it.  We still had a wonderful time!

...listened to:

...watched:

Season 2!  I liked season 1 a little better, but only because season 2 had so many things going on that the show couldn't keep up with itself.  They should have tried to spread those stories out a little more.  However, I'm definitely excited for season 3!

...read: 

A little of Walking the Twin Cities.  While on our anniversary trip we did a couple of the walks in this book, it led me right into Cocoa & Fig for my first macaron!

...learned:

I've recently watched Forks over Knives, FoodMatters, and Food, Inc.  One of the things that stuck with me was that 51% of each meal should be uncooked to keep the body from having an immune response.  I don't know how true that is, but it seems like a good idea.  That would mean more salads, and that would definitely be a good thing.

Malachi's 29 :)

We went out to Pazza Luna for dinner.  And I ate a lot.

We went to A Prairie Home Companion

When we were walking to our car, we passed by the Church of Scientology.  The creepiest part were the V for Vendetta masked anti-scientology picketers.

It's that time of year!

Happy Valentines Day :)

On my way to New Richmond.

Daisy, staying warm.

Out at BD's Mongolian Grill for Malachi's birthday.

V came out to visit last week!

 Vanessa made my week by coming out to visit for a couple of days.  I had to work the majority of the time she was here, but have no fear.  We found plenty of time to not stop talking and to eat.  What more could we ask for?!

Pizza from Good Earth. So so so GOOD!

I am going to take a picture of Tia acting like she's dead every Tuesday probably.

The Good Earth is my new best friend.  This was Malachi's food.  I had an AMAZING Thai Chicken Pizza with peanut sauce and fresh veggies and taste explosion awesomeness.

I took V to Cupcake and we indulged.  (Smore and a mini I Love Lucy, I also got a Lemon Raspberry)

At Church, snapping pics while Malachi set up for music.

The Lion King

Last week my parents, Malachi and I went to see Broadway's The Lion King.  It was pretty fantastic.  I searched online for some photos to share some of my favorite parts with you!

The opening song (The Circle of Life, for the few souls who have never seen The Lion King cartoon..ahem...Dad!) was amazing, and beautiful and just so cool.  Those giraffes above were quite possibly my favorite costume.

This elephant walked down the aisle right beside us (sorry for the poor photo)

Rafiki was so good.

Zazzu was one of my very favorites.

Mufasa!

Scar and Mufasa

The Lionesses were my favorite dancers.  They were so pretty.

The kids (Nahla and Simba) were absolutely incredible.

"Can You Feel The Love Tonight..."

Here is a short preview for it:

All in all, the set changes were very impressive, the dancing was amazing, the voices were beautiful, and the costumes were so pretty and impressive.  I agree with Malachi that it was the most artistically done show that we have ever seen.

Five Guys, we welcome you to MN!

This is a pretty good sign that I need to trim Daisy's claws.

Tuesday night at the parent's house.  And Tia was upside down, halfway under the couch, out cold.

Welcome Home Jeni's Ice Cream!  I got Widlberry Lavendar, The Milkiest Chocolate, Pistachio Honey and Brambleberry Crisp.  Mmmmm!

My baby.

At the Orpheum, waiting for The Lion King to start!

Driving by my dad's work on our way home from church.

Cupcake

Over the weekend, Malachi and I snuggled up next to each other with our "slaptops" (a phrase we coined  during this outing) and our lunch at Cupcake.  We had a mission as well.  See, we will be moving come March/April.  To where?  We have not yet figured that out.  The plan is to buy a place somewhere in the cities or in WI.  That's plan A and also "plan ultimate", because ultimately, we will be buying unless something crazy happens.  Plan B is to move into these cheaper townhomes in WI until we find a place to buy.  Plan C, which has come up because those town homes do not appear to have vacancy at the moment,  is to move back in with the parents until we find a place to buy.

No matter the result, we are definitely moving.  For two reasons: 1, our rent will be going up approximately $400.00 and that is not something we are going to take lying down.  And 2, I'm allergic to our home.

So back to Cupcake, we sat down and shared our finds for houses with each other. We probably have 20-30 choices, not all are in our price range.  Not all are in an ideal location, but we figure it's a start.  If you don't mind, we sure would appreciate any and all prayers to help us in this big decision that we are jumping into!

Oh ya, I also got myself some cupcakes to go.  This one is called the "I Love Lucy" :)
