Freddy Says...

I've noticed that everyone has a unique nickname for me... Bethie, Freddy, Fredrickson, Bethanny, Bethanne, Bethesda, Beef, Beefers. But, the one that's really stuck over the years is Bethers. I figured this would be the best name for a blog - really makes sure you know who is typing right!?!

I wanted to start this blog because many people have suggested I type and share to keep connected with friends far and even near. So, I guess I'm ready. I will try my bestest to be interesting even if most of my day isn't that interesting.

I'm sure everyone reading this knows, the biggest thing that has happened recently in my life was moving to Milwaukee from Phoenix - and leaving my hubby behind. I often say this is our engagement time - since we lived together for the three years before we got married. It's almost as if life is moving backwards. But everytime I see Benjamin Franklin (my other half) it's like a new beginning, which is the coolest thing.

I'm going to bore everyone: Since moving to Wisconsin I usually do the following things each day:
- Wake up... slowly, I'm a serial snooze-button hitter
- Walk Couver... fast, it's chilly outside
- Work at a high school planning events. Right now I'm planning for our upcoming Golf Outing in June, doing a student fundraiser, and getting my feet wet for preparations for the 2010-2011 school year of events.
- Drive home and walk the dog.
- Eat dinner. My mother prepares it almost every single day - I definitely consider myself lucky.
- Relax and watch mindless TV. My current show interests are - in day order starting Sunday - Breaking Bad, True Life, Lost, Top Chef Masters, Fresh Meat 2, and HGTV anytime of the week.
- Walk the dog AGAIN.
- Sleep

Sounds exciting, right???? Not really. But since moving here I've actually been quite busy and I just joined a Zumba class that I go to once a week. Those ladies and their salsa, it's just crazy. I've been trying to spend more time with family and also exploring the culinary side of the city. I've been to way more restaurants than ever before in my life, and I really think I've found better options than Phoenix!

Most recently I spent a weekend visiting my college roomate Christina in Michigan with my bff Anne. We had a blast, although it was a quick trip - and we've already planned an October trip to view the WI vs. Michigan State football away game!

I totally miss Arizona every single day - but I'm really looking forward to the opportunity of having my other half living in our ideal situation. It should be fun!

Until next time: Bethers xoxo
