party time (next door)

we haven't met any of our neighbors, maybe because it's been so hot and no one really goes outside. anyway, we're pretty sure our neighbors were out tonight.


we weren't invited but are able to still enjoy the music and lights. yes, the party is still going full blast as I'm typing this... we'll see if we get to sleep tonight. sweet dreams!

We had a great trip to lake powell to finish off the summer. I look forward to this trip every year and was so excited to bring Rich along! I think he maybe married me so he could come on this trip! ;) Anyway, it was amazing as always!

trampoline time

speaking of the Vegas open house.. it was a lot of fun! fun to wear my dress again, fun to eat yummy food, fun to meet rich's Vegas people and fun to spend a beautiful evening outside. the best part was having my parents in town and a surprise appearance from these ladies! they even wore their purple dresses.. bridesmaid's until the end! love you B and Al!

pretty flower time

I put together some little flower arrangements from a giant arrangement leftover from our Vegas open house. Flowers make me happy so hopefully some pics make you happy too. happy monday. ok bye.
