Sunday nights...typically I am not a fan of them, but tonight I am pumped, ready for the week to start and proud. SMF and I have worked really hard these past couple weekends, and we are at the point now where it is starting to show. Not only that, but we have some exciting events coming up in the near future to look forward to. Family reunions, lake house trips, an open house and buying a new car all included; followed by more lake house weekends, more wedding showers (for my sis) and a wedding (hers, not ours :) ).
Friday started the weekend off on a great foot, SMF Mark and I drove to Ellensburg to meet up with a really fun girl whom had seen Mark's Xterra on Craigslist and was seriously considering buying it. An hour after we got there, we were back on the road as a temporary one car family. See ya later Nissan, hopefully I will be sharing photos of a new white Land Rover in a couple weeks...we just have to find it first!
Bright and early Saturday morning I drove out to meet my mom at a local (well, local to her, 40 mins away to me) hardware store with a great nursery to try and find the loch ness monster, I mean perennials that are colorful and grow in the shade, but really what is the difference?? We were pretty successful! Check out the photos below...
Who says you can't put much in a VW Beetle??
On Sunday, Mark and I, along with some family, volunteered at the Chron's and Colitis Foundation's "Take Steps Walk". We helped with setup, breakdown and ran a bake sale booth during the event itself. Walk teams were formed by people from around the area, many by C or C patients and their families and with light-hearted names like ":" or "Team Brown Shorts". It was great to see everyone out having a great time, supporting each other and raising much needed money to help find a cure. (We will have to rely on Momma Bear's photos, since I didn't get my camera out, I will try and get them from her soon)
