Whimsical September

Besides the fact that I didn’t go to bed until 5am central time, today is a fantastic day. Jamie and I hopped a plane in Huntsville around noon yesterday, and three flights, several delays, and 16 hours later landed in Oregon. First time to this fine state, and I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t enjoying see… Keep Reading

First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I truly hope that everyone reading this has had the opportunity to slow down and soak up time with those you love. I know I have, and that has been the best part of this Christmas season, hands down. My soon-to-be father-in-law is overseas in Kuwait for a year and I know how much his… Keep Reading

My dad and I usually make our lunches together and pick on a little breakfast every morning before we leave for work. We both usually leave the house around 7, so it’s been fun to hang out with him in the morning. This morning I came downstairs around the same time (darn natural alarm clock….!!!!), and talked with dad anyway…. Keep Reading

I cant believe we are just about down to five weeks. I feel like I’ve accomplished a good amount yesterday and today, so I figured… Keep Reading

Family pets bring so much joy for hopefully many years, but losing them really, really hurts. Today the Olsen family lost our baby girl Sandy. She’s the little girl in the background behind our other dog, Charlie. This is the most recent picture I have of her besides the one I took of her today short before she went to… Keep Reading

BUSY BUSY Saturday! Very productive though thanks to the help from two of my fantastic bridesmaids/best friends, Ashley and Amberlee. -I FINALLY finished registry stuff tonight. I thought I was done yesterday, but it was a mess. Now it is DONE.-Scoured two malls for department store bridesmaid dresses, which was a disaster. Finally found a great one online from Nordstorms….
