We leave for the Midwest on Friday!!!

I get to watch my best friend marry the man of her dreams this weekend and it couldn’t be more surreal to me. I guess once I get on the plane reality will hit me, maybe it’s because I’m 1500 miles away, or because my bridesmaid dress hasn’t been hanging in my closet for the past 6 months as it has with other weddings in the past. I believe it’s currently in Andrea’s closet actually!
Any ways, I am really getting excited to see my friends, I can’t believe when I de-board the plane on Friday, Liz and Heidi will be there with open arms! I can’t imagine I’ll sleep much this weekend, but I assure myself that it will all be worth it.
Sunday Morning we’re departing Omaha to see our family for a little while. We should arrive in Watertown in the afternoon and will be spending time with my immediate family! I have to send out an apology to those of you I will not get a chance to see, this trip is specifically to see Mom and spend time with Tony, Julie and Their boys & Shannon and Erica. Not to trek around the country side – we just don’t have the time for that this go-round. I think we’ll be in Watertown a Total of 28 hours.
However, it’s not too early to book your plane tickets to Seattle for 2010! Let us know – We’d be happy to put you up and show you around!
We have a great house / Aquaman & Gracie sitter and we’re leaving home feeling good about who’s watching it!
It’s going to be a great week! We’ll be super busy working & playing!
Can’t wait to share all my pictures when we return!
All my love,
Abby

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
