it's finally time!

Can't believe we are actually leaving for New Zealand (& Sydney) today!  Very excited to have this trip with my family <3

I plan on taking one billion photos :)

Update Nov 12:
So right when we arrived to the airport, they came out to tell us that in the sudden wind storm, the air bridge had swung into the side of our airplane, damaging it, so that it wouldn't be flying out.  Seriously.  We were sent home, and got them to re-book us for a connecting flight through SFO today.  Of course not an ideal way to start our trip, but if this is the worse that happens, I won't complain!  And now we have a funny story to tell.   

So now... can't believe we are (hopefully) actually leaving for New Zealand (& Sydney) today! ;)

broken.

It hurts a lot.  Just really... sad.

busy...

Get it?

So much going on and so much to do!  Vacation is coming up so quickly... stressed and excited!

craft room.

Ahh. Love love love this craft room, and all the creative things used to put it together.  So organized! 

I would love to have a craft room in my house someday.

emotionally...

... exhausted.

foo-gos.

Foo-gos - where a guy makes logos out of food.

I love watermelon and I love the Canucks... so how can I not like this?

turkey day.

Michael sent me a post from this blog and I absolutely love it - a dad "just trying to make some cool pancakes for [his] daughter". 

I remember the Sunday mornings with my mom, standing on a stool in front of the stove, looking into the frying pan, making blueberry pancakes - we got to drop the blueberries into the cooking batter to make faces.  When we got older we started making shapes like letters or Micky Mouse-es (mice?), or whatever we could think of with our imagination and the remaining pancake batter.  Good memories.

Happy turkey day.

"anniversary" brunch.

Brunch at Brown's (with a coupon)!  Eggs benny and waffles split into 1 for each of us :) 

Realized that it was our "1 year anniversary" of living together - very lucky to have such a good friend in my life.
