With birthday money from my parents I bought the last two of our chairs!!! Yea! They were on backorder for a while and finally arrived last week. I am so excited to have all six. Our kitchen is now complete. Thanks Dad and Mom!
The funny part is Scott never realized they were there. Me sitting in the corner on one didn’t even help! I had to point them out to him!!
Thanks to John and Tere, Mom and I started a new tradition when we visit Abby. We are going to always stop by Great Harvest Bread Co. to pick up a loaf of bread to eat on the drive. This past visit we got peach cinnamon bread. That may not sound good, but it was delicious.
When we were in California John raved to us about this WONDERFUL bread store that he and Tere always go to on their way to Santa Barbara. So of course, on our way to Santa Barbara with John and Tere we went to the bread store. As we were pulling up to the store mom saw the sign and realized we have Great Harvest Bread Co. at home! It was pretty funny and became a joke for the rest of our visit. (It’s probably the kind of thing you have to be there for to really find funny!)
My mom, Aunt Jeanne, Grammy and I visited Abby yesterday! It was great to see her. It has been a year-in-a-half since I saw her last.
Abby looked wonderful. She still remembers me and loved getting a belly rub from me! It was a little bit hard to say goodbye. I know she is happy there, taken good care of and has lots of friends, but I still felt sad and miss her. I would love to have Abby, but we can’t in our town home.
We are so lucky to have found Sandy! She is an amazing lady and a blessing to us. Sandy works all day and then comes home to 174 pigs to take care of and 40 acres to keep clean. What a BIG job!!
I think Grammy and Aunt Jeanne were amazed with
all of the pigs. Everywhere they looked there was a pig or two!
The drive was around 8 to 9 hours total, which made it an all day event. We really had a great time talking in the car!
Today is my wonderful mom’s birthday!! I hope she had a great day. It was full of church and VBS with a little birthday cake thrown in there!! I love you Mom!! (I know that frame is a little out of control, but I couldn’t resist buying it for Bailey to give to her!! I know Bill Budro would think that frame was crazy!)
Matthew and Lindsay’s wedding was this past Sunday. It was a beautiful wedding and a very fun weekend. The wedding rehearsal was Saturday afternoon. After the rehearsal we ate at Brio on The Plaza.
The rest of the day Lindsay and the bridesmaids hung out. We stayed at the Fairmont Hotel and sat around Fairmont’s pool and talked for a long time. That was very nice and relaxing. After that we ate at California Pizza Kitchen, walked around The Plaza and then went back to our hotel and hung out some more! It was a great day and so much fun to hang out with friends!
Everything on Sunday went very smooth! Lindsay was a beautiful bride!! The wedding was wonderful and everything about it was perfect. The reception was in the hotel’s ballroom on the top floor. They had a dessert reception, which was awesome! There were all kinds of yummy sweets!
I was honored to be Lindsay’s matron of honor and excited for Scott to be the best man! I thought that was fun to be able to walk with him and be his partner in the group pictures! Scott and I feel so blessed to have such great friends. We always enjoy our time together with Lindsay and Matthew.
Scott and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary yesterday! To kick off the celebration we ate a piece of our wedding cake and watched part of the video from our wedding day. (We watched the “music videos†with clips from our wedding day on it!) I love watching our wedding video because it brings back the exciting feelings I had that day! I feel SO blessed to have Scott as my husband. He is perfect for me!
Today is Travis and Rachel’s 5th anniversary! Happy 5th Travis and Rachel!!!
Scott gave me these beautiful flowers!
