[five] on friday

This week has been a long one. Between Sadie falling from the couch onto our hardwood floor and the constant rain, I am so ready for this week to be over. And it is! It finally is! I'm waiting not so patiently for our Friday night ritual. Our awesome (duplex)neighbors have a little one around Sadie's age, so every Friday night, we put the kids to bed then sit on our porch and drink the wine away. It's wonderful and therapeutic.

Anyway, I'll skip to it and get going with my five on Friday!

If you've read recently, we are waiting to find our where our next assignment will take us. I revealed our #1 Pick here, our #2 Pick here(which is now unavailable), and I'm happy to reveal our Pick #3: 

Portland, Maine. 

There is no actual Army base here, but there is a MEPs Station, which is basically an in processing unit for the Military. We know very little about the job, let alone about Maine. So please, by all means, if you are familiar with Maine, send some great advice our way! 

We are pretty excited about this location though. All the research we've done proves it to be a beautiful spot. Maybe a little cold, okay a lot cold, but I think we could have a great two years here.

Did I mention I'm drinking wine tonight? Here's what I have on hand this week. I love Kenwood wine and the Cabernet Sauvignon never fails me. You should try it too, but only if you're over 21. Drink Responsibly.

I'm not kidding when I tell you I ordered these for Sadie from Target. They should be here this weekend and I can't wait to see them on her! She may just be sporting these as a flower girl in a wedding coming up:-)

It is officially May, which means Mother's Day, Bachelorette Weekend, Memorial Day by the Lake, and one more month until my birthday! This month is going to fly by so fast. This is one of my favorite photos from Memorial Day at the Lake last year. Look at that little munchkin!

I'll end with a laugh. No matter how many times I read this, it makes me giggle. I need to try it out. Maybe for Steve's next poker night?
