Nothing in particular at this point. We want to go on a nice vacation next year but that's something we've been wanting to do for a while! We were hoping to go to Ireland this year but we've had so many OOT weddings in the last 2 years so we have spent a lot of money on those. I love my family & friends but no more weddings!! Airfare is so freakin' expensive.

Just to get the house "completed" like furnished to my satisfaction which isn't as far off as it seemed two months ago actually
We will continue to travel regardless of TTC plans, because logically it's so silly to hold off going somewhere or doing something on the measly 25% chance we have of conceiving each month. (yeaaahhh debbie downer lol)
We chose our latest travel plans: Vieques for New Years, (was between Brazil/Chile buuuut the flights were astronomical) and Japan in the spring for Cherry Blossom season ZOMG I CANNOT WAIT for Japan!
And if I'm lucky enough to get pg before the spring trip, we're going anyways. You can safely travel in the 1st and 2nd trimesters, and at this rate, that's where I'd be.
We'd like to sell our condo. It's a 1 bedroom condo I bought before I even knew DH, and there's pretty much no room for a baby here. If we had to, we could make it work, but it's pretty small. We just put it up for sale a few weeks ago, so we'll see what happens. I'm not expecting much this time of the year though!
We also would like to go to San Francisco to see the Brewers play there next April for our 5th anniversary. But if I happen to get pregnant soon, I might be too pregnant to fly there then. So whatever happens, happens!
Nothing big. A few more vacations would be nice, maybe meet a few more professional milestones at work....but we're at the point where there is always going to be SOMETHING that we think "Oh, we should do that before we have kids", and if we keep waiting and waiting then we'll be waiting forever. We're ready NOW dammit!!!! :-)

We got nuthin'.
Well, we'd like to put new flooring on the lower level of the house, but we should be able to do that soon.
Wine- I was in Japan in 1998 to watch the Olympics. It's a really neat country! We were in Tokyo for a night, then drove up to Nagano (well, we stayed in the mountains somewhere near Nagano).

Oh I'm so excited. It just looks so beautiful, and clean, and unique. We're doing Tokyo, Kyoto area, and a mountain onset ryokan kind of deal.
Where the heck in Tokyo did you stay?? I keep reading about Shijuku and Shibuya being best.

I have no clue . My dad got the trip through work (he owned a business that used advertising), and I guess we were sort of like guests of CBS. So we flew into Tokyo (non-stop from NY) and stayed at some fancy hotel downtown. Then they bused us up to our hotel near Nagano, which was like a resort in the mountains. Everyday we took a bus down to Nagano and hung out in the sponsor tent while we waited for our events to start. We went to a Buddist (?) temple one day that was pretty awesome, and we saw the opening ceremonies, and a few Olympic hockey games and speed skating.
The food was interesting- to my 18 year old self it was horrible! I ate a lot of Pocky- a Japanese chocolate covered breadstick candy. I remember at a rest stop people getting noodles out of a vending machine, and at the hockey games they sold seaweed and seafood (squid i think) at the concession stands.
We really have absolutely nothing! We are a couple that is always on the go, and realize this will likely slow down a bit, but we hope to continue being very social, just with a baby in tow! I would like DH to lose weight before we have baby, but he has not made any progress on that yet...
My husband is currently on furloughs - only working 75%. I'd love to see him get a new job, but even his current job at 100% would be good.
Other than that, we wanted to travel, and have been able to do a decent amount. I'd also like to get a new car, because both of our cars are small 2-doors.
