So sorry to our 3 blog readers out there about the lapse in posting! I have been waiting for us to take some pictures so we can liven up our post, but we have been very bad in that department!
We have been getting out and doing stuff though, so I guess i'll get past the no picture thing and hopefully entertain you with my words :)
ok so since babysitting James, what have we been up to you ask? For me, it has been a lot of working. I have unfortunately had to work some part of the last 2 weekends. The first weekend on February, I had to go to our staff "retreat" which was like 5 min. away from our house, and then last weekend I had an all day infant family training. In between working, we have had a game night with friends and have hung out with Jessie & Mark as well on the weekends (we beat them in our 2nd 100,000 point hand & foot game.
I also had my interview to become a Big Sister volunteer with BBBS in Snohomish County. I will go to the volunteer training next month, and will hopefully be matched with a "little" soon!
Last week we picked up my travel bug that was in a race with one of Ben's travel bugs that started over 2 years ago when I was in grad school! I put my bug in a cache in AZ, and Ben put his in WA. His travel bug made it to AZ right after I moved up to WA in June 2007 and mine just arrived!! We probably looked slightly suspicious on a trailhead in S. Everett in the pitch black digging through bushes. Only one couple walked by and asked "is everything ok here?" I had to explain what geocaching was and they responded by saying "well, we've seen weirder things." For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, visit geocaching.com for an explanation. My dad & Ben & I are currently in a race. His bug has made it all the way to Tacoma (he has to make it to Edmonds to win) and our bug is in New Mexico, with supposedly someone taking it to AZ soon (we have to make it to his cache in the middle of nowhere) We'll see who wins!
This weekend should be fun, we're planning to enjoy our first Valentines day weekend as a married couple and enjoy our holiday off of work on Monday. (ok I really don't have the day off, but am taking it off to be home with Ben) We will not be venturing out to eat, as we were trapped last year into a $30 "special" menu. I am going to make a tasty recipe that I found in the last Rachel Ray mag.
We went and saw slumdog millionaire last week- we loved it. It was slightly predictable, but at the same time, unpredictable. The acting was great (especially the little kids).
ok this post is really random.. I'm going to stop now. We promise to take some pics soon! I think the only picture that I have taken in the last 3 weeks is of Ben in this huge turquoise winter hat that he wears while running.. it is quite funny.. maybe i'll put it up

Becky! So good to see an update. I hear you about the pictures...I've been really horrible about putting mine up, too. I'm sure Ben will love having a goofy picture posted online for all to see :) We'd love to get together again sometime, maybe after the baby is born?
Glad you're doing well!
Enjoy this day celebrating your love. Love you both
