Yay! It's Friday!

In leiu of the Friday Question (which I've forgotten about for two weeks now!) I'll just tell you a bit about what is going on in my (boring) life!

The cold that Josh had that ruined our weekend last week has stayed with him. I took him to the doctor on Tuesday and he gave him some Vicadin(?!) for his cough and some other medicine for his nausea. He feels better now, but still not 100%. He is actually only at about 60%, which sucks because I had really been hoping for a good fun weekend. Instead, it looks like we will be staying home. Again.

Josh and I are starting to plan our next big vacation, which is going to be next year in late April and early May. We're going to backpack Europe for a couple of weeks! What brought this about? One day last week, we got an email from Mark and Denise who after trying to have children for two years, became foster parents to a 15 month old and a 6 week old. Their advice to us was, forget about the kids and have your own life. (I think this was a sentiment born out of their complete exhaustion!) So anyhow, I got to thinking. If we can't have what we dream about, which is to have a family, then we should do what people who already have kids WISH they could do. Which is, to be young and free and in Europe with no responsibilities. I've been looking into it and I've found that we can get round trip tickets to London or Amsterdam in April or May for about $250 to $300 bucks a person. That's less than what we paid to go to Seattle last year! So I've been having fun planning, which is the best part of any adventure.

I finished the DaVinci Code, which was actually just a really good book and not at all what I had suspected. I had thought that it was going to be much more inflamatory than it was, but none of the information in it was really all that shocking. Maybe because I had already learned it other places? It wasn't preachy either, just a normal suspense story that just happened to involve Knight Templar and the Priory of Sion. I've always been a fan of that particular bit of history so it really appealed to me.

Next on my list of things to read that I've been putting off is "My Life," the Bill Clinton book. Have you read that yet? I think I should just buckle down and read it. I know it is huge but at least it will help me bide my time until the next Harry Potter comes out!
