summer dreaming..

finally, some warm weather out here in the pacific northwest! i had been wearing jeans and sweatshirts until the end of last week..unbelievable! don't get me wrong, i'm not in envy of the eastcoast blasting temps and that hot, humid air that doesn't move..but a day or two in shorts would be nice.

it hit 90 this weekend and luke and i played outside most of it. we made it down to lake washington two days in a row and watched as the kids ran into the water without hesitation and myself chicken out because i'm not used to water below about 75 degrees. ha! we also made it out to my good friend, chrissy's 29th birthday party and bbq--a great time full of burgers, mojitos, ladder ball (of which luke and i dominated!), bon fire and chrissy falling out of her lawn chair.

luke, payton and i are trying to get to florida this week! i can't tell you how excited i am! although stressed because standby travel can be frustrating. positive thoughts though and hopefully we'll make it to visit for a while. i can't wait to see all my family and for everyone to meet luke and p. it should be great fun!!

well, monday morning is calling my name too soon so off to la la land i go...to dream of tan lines and laughter...

Initiation into the Blog World..

So after multiple attempts to start a blog, I decided to go ahead and just do it. I didn't think I had that many exciting topics to post (and probably still don't), but what the heck. You don't HAVE to read it. ha! I have wonderful parents, brothers who are my best friends, an amazing job and a perfect boyfriend. And I would love to share what I think are inspiring and awesome stories about all these people and things with those who want to hear about them. I figured (or stole the idea from Jason) that it would be a good way to let family and friends across the country know what I am up to out here in Seattle...
