Euro2012

My most exciting news that has been keeping me super beyond preoccupied, is that I have been the biggest nerd and reading all my library books for our upcoming trip to Europe!!  

18 days, 5 countries to add to my visited list.

Yay, YAY, it can't be here soon enough, I'm ready!

Roll it!

THE look, I want next!

I love it and am on the hunt for a fab and inexpensive pair of casual jeans like these ...

Have you found a pair you LOVE??

Fragrance Lake Hike

Before the Seattle summer disappears right out from underneath me, Gabe and I made it a point to get a few more hikes under our belt as we all know that in a few more weeks ... Seattle will get a littler "damper!"  

I had seen pictures from Fragrance Lake, 

which is north of Seattle at the Larrabee State Park

and loaded my family in our Outback and we were off to explore!

This is a perfect way for me to spend a weekend:  getting exercise, hanging with my loved ones, taking pictures, and getting lots of fresh air.  One of my most favorite things about Seattle is the abundance of God's beauty right in my backyard!

Then, on the drive home we indulged in a Blooming Onion at Outback :)

Consumed all the calories back that I burned, lol.

The Immediate Fam

What better time to get family photos then at a wedding right?!

My family will soon be spread out ALL over the nation, so it's time like these that make you soak up every moment together.  

My brother just got his MBA and graduated from Cox School of Business at SMU (where I got my undergrad), and this new degree has given him an amazing opportunity to take his family to Atlanta.  With my parents in Dallas, us in Seattle, and now Jordan and Arrie moving to Atlanta ... we will be very spread out.

I cannot wait for their adventure ahead, and thank goodness for FaceTime so I can continue to see them and my precious niece and nephew.

I think there are a lot of positives with establishing yourself in a new city and figuring out things as one.  I still love that Gabe and I did that in Seattle!  So, I'm especially excited for their adventure to do the same, except I know it will be harder for them leaving both sets of parents.
