WW: CO by Fisch

 

A couple weeks ago, Fisch went on a week long camping/bow hunting trip with his Dad to Colorado.  He didn't get the elk he was hunting for but he did get to shoot some gorgeous photos.

I am thinking we are going to need to get this one printed, like really big, asap.

1 Fisch, 2 Fisch...

There will officially be 2 Fisch on this blog in the future.

That's right, after almost 6 years together the question was popped... 

 ... and the answer was yes! 

More details to come :)

WW: Springtime in Madtown

I love Spring :)

Fisch's Day

We didn't do a whole lot for Fisch's birthday weekend.  Though we did get to try a lot of new resturants.  We finally decided to try Jamerica, a Jamacian place on Willy St., on a recommendation from my aunt and uncle.  It is a cute little eclectic place with a tiny menu and fantastic food.  They also had key lime soda which is my favorite.  As a late night "snack" we tried burritos from La Bamaba's.  Pretty good for an "open until 3 am" place.  On Sunday we got together with some friends to watch the Packer game.  We went to a little bar in Jefferson that had the best steak sandwiches...and that, and of course the company was the best part of that night. Packers lost. I'm over it. Fisch is still grieving.

Happy Birthday to Fisch!

Love this boy <3

 

26 Things I Love About Jesse on His 26th Birthday…

1. With a drop of a quote he can keep me giggling.

2. He builds me fires in our fireplace to keep me warm and cozy.

4. The way he shakes his tush.

5. His laugh.

6. He cares about his friends and family.

7. The little songs he makes up about…everything.

8. Trying new things doesn’t scare him (Eat that mystery tentacle thingy at Chinese Buffet? Sure!).

9. He took me kayaking at the Apostle Islands for my birthday.

10. He watches New Girl with me and likes it just as much…maybe even a little more.

11. The fact that for our last movie night he chose to watch “Tangled”.

12. I moved to Madison to be with him and it was the best move I have made.

Wordless(ish) Wednesday: Fisch's Doppelganger

With football season now in full swing, random people are once again comparing Fisch with Tony Romo.  

Can you see it?

Wordless(ish) Wednesday: Devils Lake State Park and Camping

Every year we go camping with Fisch's family in some new location around WI.  This year it was at a campground near Devil's Lake State Park, which was great for us since it is only about 45 minutes from Madison.  One of the reasons I love WI so much is for it's varying landscapes, from flat farmland to mountainous hills to waterfalls.

The S.S. McFisch

One of the things on Fisch's to do list before the move was to paint our little row boat.

He even had time to name her before we took her out for a spin.

2 weeks and Counting...

     The count down has begun...we will both be living in Madison in 2 weeks! Fisch moved there 6 months ago for a new job and now it is my turn to make the move from Smalltown, USA to Madtown, WI.

     The loose ends are beginning to be tied up in nice little bows.  Last week we got word we were approved for the apartment we applied for (A place to live...√ ). I am very excited about it, especially after some of the other ones we saw while searching...like ones we didn't even want to walk into because they were so dark and dirty.  This place feels like a much more grown-up apartment from the ones we have been living in, complete with a dishwasher (never had one of those!), in-unit washer and dryer, wood floors, and a fireplace (the thing I am most excited about).  We have slowly started packing stuff up and moving it down to store in Fisch's garage, in hopes that if we move stuff gradually we can avoid renting a truck...wishful thinking, I know. 

     Next loose end to be tied up is finding me a job.  Being an art teacher, the jobs are already slim pickins' and add in the high demand of Madison and the surrounding towns and the fact that I have no connections to the area...needless to say it had been tough.  But I am staying positive and just waiting for that perfect opportunity to come along.
