A Toast

1045044_595735103805207_1756247240_n

This evening was one of the best I have had in a very long time.  I am so far behind on blogging, it’s not even funny…but that’s life — and, who am I kidding, that’s one of the benefits of writing a blog without sponsors: no one gets mad if I just can’t blog for days or weeks.  I keep intending to catch up on everything that has been going on in our lives, but then more stuff keeps happening.  Eventually I’ll give up, and do a photo dump post and just throw it all in at once.  Until then, I wanted to pop in an say how incredible happy I am right at this moment.  I have two ridiculously adorable girls. I have an awesome husband.  And as of 4:45 today, we are officially homeowners.Zara helped us sign papers (mostly by chewing on pens and trying to eat everything in reach), while Nora hung out with Chris’ dad, and then we went out for a celebratory dinner at Chris’ restaurant with his dad, my step-mom, grandma, and one of my brothers.  We didn’t take a single picture (aside from one of Zara gumming on shrimp) because we were just having way too much fun enjoying food and wine and each other’s company.  After a three hour epic meal of awesomeness, we grabbed a bottle of our wedding champagne

(and our first goofy housewarming present) and headed over to our new house for a celebratory toast.

We ran all around our empty house, showing it off, and even managed to figure out how to work the timer on my camera.  It was amazing.

I can’t believe what a wonderful evening this turned out to be…and that six years into marriage, only five months into our life in Wyoming, we now own a house.  This chapter of our life is turning out to be pretty spectacular.  So, here’s to the high desert plains, where we never expected to end up, but where we have already found many amazing things including a home of our own.

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.

Yesterday we got our first taste of summer. It was warm enough that we got out the sprinkler in the afternoon. I worked most of the day but had a nice break for a couple hours in the afternoon during which I sat outside listening  to music and watching the 4 of them dance in the yard. I couldn't ask for much more on a Monday.
