#99: In Progress!

#99 is to paint our bedroom. I never thought David would go for it but he has agreed to paint the bedroom! Now the key is to figure out what color to paint it...Such a hard decision! The color of our comforter is very dark (chocolate brown and a darker blue). I'm trying to find a lighter accent color so the room won't be so dark

#82: Take a Zumba Class

#82 is in progress as well. I COULD say that it has already been accomplished but I don't want to cheat. Marie and I were taking kickboxing through the West Fargo Park District. Our instructor wasn't able to make it and sent a Zumba instructor in her place. Oh my goodness it was so much fun! I am going to sign up for Zumba classes next week and will start taking them on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's pretty expensive...so i'm not sure if I will do one round (12 classes) or continue to take them through the summer...

#81: In Progress

#81: Have a date night once/month...You might ask, is this really necessary? You to are newly married with no kids...Well, believe me! It's necessary. David and are both HOMEBODYS! I am more of a homebody than he is. I LOVE to stay home. I cannot tell you how many times that I've said, "lets go out!" and then change my mind minutes before we leave. I just love being at home.

Since I started this project, we've gone on a few dates. Date #1 was to the movie "Life as We Know It". Very cute! So cute that we might need to get it on DVD.

Date #2 was a double date with Mark and Marie! We went out to Kobe's for supper. So much fun! Marie and Mark are so much fun! I think our next double date will have to be someplace that isn't so noisy!
