Molly

Molly died on Monday. Though I did not know her well, Molly the dog was as sweet and loving as any dog can be. She belonged to my sister-in-law and had recently been living with my in-laws. She became paralyzed suddenly and had to be put to sleep. Change (especially the sad kind) does not come easy to humans and when it is sudden it's even worse. My family is upset and grieving. Pets will do that to you. They are not human, but worm their way into your heart as if they were.

Little White House

Justin and I are in the process of buying a house! Three things I hate are involved: moving, money and madness...but we're doing it anyway. Pictures to come soon.

Reunion con las amigas

Last week I had the pleasure of eating dinner with some friends I haven't seen in awhile. Some live close, some far, but none the less it was fun! I wish I had documentation of it all, but my camera's rechargable batteries were not charged when I grabbed my camera as I headed out the door. I promised myself I would buy some more at Target on the way, but I was so charmed with all the other goodies at Target I forgot. Thus, no photos, but I know Alia took some, so I'm waiting so see hers online.

I saw friends who are in very different places in their lives. Maureen and David, who are new parents to Ava (truly a little angel). Maureen seemed so natural with Ava, not freaked out like I would imagine myself. Leah was also there with Sydni, who is also an angel, but bigger. I am amazed at what a great job Leah is at being a mom. I forget sometimes how different her life is from mine! Alia is about to become a mom and has already endured a lot, so I hope her boy is perfect. Sarah, Tricia, Courtney and I have not yet embarked on the child front, but we were making mental notes to save for later.

It was great to see everyone and amazing to see how we've changed and how we've stayed the same. I hope to see lots more people in October at our 10 year high school reunion.

Bread & Cup

I have heard many a delicious comments about Bread & Cup, a new restaurant in Lincoln. For months I had been dying to experience their simple food idea. Lucky for me I got to go there for my birthday with Justin. It was splendid and so was the cheesecake!

Here We Go!

I am going to put up the photos I have from the month of April. I now know I have 3 readers, Jessy, Katie and Cindy! To start out my blogging extravaganza, here is how I celebrated my 29th birthday. As my aunt Becky said, "You only turn 29 once...for real." We had a family brunch/lunch at my parents' house, which was fun. Sarah made the awesome dessert pizza with all my favorite fruit on it. She was kind and only put one candle to represent my years. Also note the "gift" from Sarah and Jordan. Luckily it was returnable (to Jordan's truck) as I already have one :)

I will I will I will POST

I love reading blogs. I check a few everyday. I love it when there are new posts, everyday. However, I am terrible about updating my own blog. I mean to amend this problem, staring now.

For Katie and Cindy

This post is for you two, my newest (maybe my only) readers.

I bought Starbucks coffee this weekend. It the cold bottled kind, for Justin, but I did buy it. So, I guess I'm not totally against it!

I also became hooked on coffee while I was in Portland. I had some this morning, but had to buy some more this afternoon to get through the day. It's been cloudy and raining, so that might be part of it.

We had our first thunderstorm of 2008 last night.

Cindy, I ordered an Ikea catalog from their website(it hasn't come yet). I'll send it to you when I'm done. Shipping is so expensive I'll probably have to wait to get anything else until I visit again.

The curtains (from Ikea) look great. I'll post a photo soon.

I miss you all!
