Waterfall Hike

I blame Robin Hood for my obsession with waterfalls (see clip at 1:20), so when I heard there was one six miles from our house I made a point to drive out there over the weekend. While it is not the most impressive waterfall I have ever seen, it was a great way to spend a sunny afternoon and finally check off kissing under a waterfall on my bucket list;)

Milwaukee Date Night

Milwaukee Date Night | Beauty and Blooms

It’s rare Ian and I have a free weekend, therefore we took full advantage of our meeting-free Saturday and drove to Milwaukee. I was able to sneak in a bit of shopping between brewery tours and a romantic dinner in the Third Ward. While it was a short trip, I loved exploring the city where Ian grew up.

One of the downsides of Ian’s job is travel. At the drop of a hat he can be rushing off to the airport, leaving me behind for an unknown period of time. I am someone who likes order and routines, so this new lifestyle has been a hard adjustment. After spending last week in Texas I was foolish enough to think that I would have him home this week, but as life would have it, he was called away on another assignment. This has pushed me out of my comfort zone and I have been forced to exert my independence and enjoy my  alone time. While I don’t mind grabbing drinks with the girls after work or hitting the gym solo, I can’t deny that I miss having my best friend around.
