Hi all! Jenna and I enjoyed a lovely weekend up north! We hiked and drank coffee and cocktails and relaxed and read and enjoyed peace and quiet.
And meanwhile, Maya and G-ma worked on prepping her room to be repainted and then Chris took the girls and Alex to the Laufey concert at Target Center!
And this afternoon Maya and I joined Boom and Auntie Yoda at a concert at church. Our band director was one of the flutists!
It’s a short week this week! Looking forward to a long weekend.
Hi all! TGIF! Chris was gone all week, and then Maya got sick. And it was a full moon! We did cleaning, got a new robot vacuum, I gathered pens at the college fair, and I drove the girls around every which way after school.
I also went on my first run in weeks…and it wasn’t horrible!
I’m currently at Caribou about to read my book. I took today off awhile ago because I’m heading up north for the weekend with my friend Jenna! But first, a massage…
Have a good weekend!
Happy Sunday! We had 2 big events this weekend. The first one was a cider pressing party at our friend’s house. It was 80+ degrees in October, so that was annoying, but the party was fun and we got a jug of homemade cider!
Today was a lovely sunrise, and then we celebrated the life of Chris’ Aunt Jan, who passed away this past spring. It was a lovely memorial and fun to see cousins we haven’t seen in a long time.
Have a good week! I’m hoping for fall weather soon!!
Happy Friday! And happy TS12 to all who are excited about Taylor’s new album me!). But first, this:
I could not be more over 80+ degrees in October.
Pics from this week:
Stickers I got my team at work (can you tell how the school year is going?) and a freaking COYOTE in our backyard.
Maya and her BFF rock climbing!
And a snapshot of today with my teen:
Have a great weekend.
I remember this day from 13 years ago…it’s crazy how time flies!
And I also remember putting this baby Maya sleeping collage together as we were not getting any sleep and she was only sleeping on us!
Time. Flies.
Hi all! We had a very busy day yesterday…and a very relaxed day today. It’s all about balance, right?
The first big event of yesterday was our 25th high school reunion at Minnehaha. Dan and Hanna came with (we left 3 of 4 kids at our house with G-ma) and we had a great time catching up with friends we hadn’t seen in years (or decades)!
We took a tour of the building. In 2017 there was an explosion that basically demolished the building we knew, so everyone from our class who was there (about 35/100) was very interested in seeing the new space. It was beautiful! And they had a whole area dedicated to alumni artifacts, including old phone books and even a photo of Cathleen and her German teacher!
About halfway through our tour, we ran into our band director, Mrs. Hallberg, who is still there! She came to our wedding 20 years ago. And she was able to point to each of us from our group and name the instrument we each played…25 years ago. Amazing!
Then there was a rooftop happy hour where we mingled, looked at old photos, and enjoyed the lovely evening.
Before we had to head out, a few of my girlfriends from elementary school and I recreated a photo from our 6th grade Washington DC trip in what I think was 1993. The fashion was impeccable!
We then headed out to take photos of Callie for Homecoming!!! We met her group at Centennial Lakes to take pictures in their fancy clothes before the dance.
Her date is Alex…her boyfriend. :)
They had a blast at the dance, and she was tired today!
We just hung around at home and got some things done.
Everybody watch the Lynx at 7!!! They need all the positive vibes they can get. They need a win tonight to keep their season going. 💚💙🖤🤍
