We're Still Here

And the grass is definitely still brown. Very brown, thanks to the extreme drought the state of Oklahoma's been experiencing.

What have we been up to since we last posted in March? Well, a few things.

We rearranged our living room so it can function as a living room instead of Johnny's storage space. Johnny let go of some of those boxes his mom brought (it was a time, let me tell you). We started the Couch to 5K running program because we both felt really fat. We finally installed that damn toilet. We went on vacation to Colorado and stopped running for a week (or three). We resumed Couch to 5K. I made Johnny come volunteer at a work camp (which he secretly enjoyed because he got to grill).

And that's kind of where we are, currently.

So, with that said, here are some pictures from our Colorado trip!

We're Going to Milwaukee!

After receiving yet another toilet in the mail this week (thanks to customer service ineptitude), Johnny and I are taking a much-needed vacation. The destination? Milwaukee, Wisconsin! 

We're meeting up with friend and fellow blogger Moto of Journeyman Archivist for a few days of relaxation, brewery tours, beers, and sausages! Or at least that's what I'm planning. We'll be touring three breweries and the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, checking out The Basilica of St. Josaphat, and eating at some of the city's most historic and delicious establishments. While dear Moto leaves on Monday, Johnny and I are staying until Wednesday to catch a Brewers game and possibly tour Taliesin in nearby Spring Green. 

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures to share! And who knows- maybe we'll come back with renewed zeal for home improvement!

PS:  Everyone be sure to send a tweet at Johnny (@Spizzle_Trunk) on July 4- it's his birthday!
