So I have been trying to decide what to say to keep all my loyal readers reading and I realized I can't choose one thing that stood out to me in the past week. It was a long week. A really long week and I have a feeling that this one isn't going to feel any shorter.
Last week we may or may not have done the following: owned a dog, put a palm through a window pane, spilled coffee on a silk curtain (seriously ON A CURTAIN! How does that happen?), gone to town 3 out of 4 weekend days, tried to have dinner and a drink (at the same time) in Silverton, enjoyed what will probably the last really warm day, had DVR installed, hysterically laughed AND cried while watching the Amazing Race, ate a really good dinner with friends, reawakened our love for bread machines, accidentally drove through a car wash, and found The Colonel's long lost collar (#1) laying on the front porch with a rusty bell like it had been there all along (creepy).
Also, my grandpa turned 94 on Saturday. 94. I missed having a birthday party for him and I will soon miss Thanksgiving. BUT we will be in Ohio for Christmas and can't wait to see our family. We are so lucky to be able to take a week and a half so as to see all family and even get some good friend time in. And by lucky I mean we made a point to take jobs that would allow us the freedom to travel and do things that are important to us. So it's really not luck at all.
