Home Sweet Home

Peace - that was the other name for home.

Greg has been busy working on a destination art piece for our new house. We are so close to actually moving in. Cross your fingers. He got the idea from this link:

Remodelaholic: Destination Art

Using stencils he painted all of the places we have lived both a part and together.

Thankful for Celebrations

Begin and end each day with an expression of gratitude -Wayne Dyer

This past week has been full of turkey, birthdays, shopping, and football! We are full of thanks and gratitude (and turkey!) for the many blessings we have in our lives.

After some early Black Friday shopping, we headed to Seattle and got to stay the night at the Sheraton. Here we are checking out the new Russell building.

Brrr!

Today I am thankful that my family is home safe or has made it to work safely.

Back to Bellingham

Last weekend, my mom and I took a trip to visit Mal and Chad in Bellingham. It was fun to be back. We enjoyed shopping, going out to eat, and making fall treats! We were also able to stop by Issaquah on our way back to visit Miranda and Jeff for yet another meal.

Trick or Treat

"Why do I have to say trick if I only want a treat?"

"I don't know. I just know what it takes to get a mini snickers."
