House Photos

Yep, we have a driveway now...

And cabinets...

And countertops!

... 8 more weeks til we move in.

Since my last post I have been super busy at work finishing up projects for the quarter - pricing proposals and product business plans. Feels like someone hit the fast-forward switch and the weeks are flying by lately. Ben and I saw the new Adam Sandler "Zohan" movie which was hillarious. We had a fun and delicious dessert girls night at Julias - why didn't we think of that idea sooner? And we had a very nice family BBQ for Father's Day with Colombes. My mom retired from work - what an amazing milestone. Now we'll have to see if she and my dad drive each other crazy or not :) This weekend I have a leadership retreat for Soroptimists - should be fun! And next week is a short week - I only work 3 days. Then Ben and I booked a few nights here in town at a resort to celebrate our 5th anniversary. How time flies...

This photo just makes me smile :)

The Audacity Of Now!!

"Change is building an economy that rewards not just wealth, but the work and workers who created it. It's understanding that the struggles facing working families can't be solved by spending billions of dollars on more tax breaks for big corporations and wealthy CEOs, but by giving a the middle-class a tax break, and investing in our crumbling infrastructure, and transforming how we use energy, and improving our schools, and renewing our commitment to science and innovation. It's understanding that fiscal responsibility and shared prosperity can go hand-in-hand.... America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love. The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment – this was the time – when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals."

Official moving date - August 27th

The house now has garage doors, a front door and inside doors. They will be painting this week. Shea called and we will get our keys on August 27th. Only 3 months away - crazy! We have a vacation scheduled for August 30th to go to North Carolina so it will be a busy couple days of moving and then lounging on the beach for a week.

The best part of this weekend was Sex and the City girls afternoon with the movie and cosmos and my favorite gals! I also enjoyed the 2 hour Lost finale, some yoga, a great visit with Julia (watching Randy mop) and a fabulous wine tasting at D-Vine.
