it's in the bag

i really like the whole idea of bringing your own bags when you go shopping at the grocery store, trader joe's, the local target, etc. but, i can never seem to remember to bring them with me. i think these could work though. and they're cute, which matt says is very important.

and i came across this blog today by emily, who i know from living in pittsburgh. i spent quite a lot of time looking over all her posts and found some fun and helpful things in it. check it out.

we just got back from vacation last night! we had a great time all together. and now starts 2 weeks of wedding celebrations. umatt gets married this weekend and a bunch of family is coming in for it. and then my dear sarah sharpie is getting married next weekend. and i can't wait to see my co MOH for it! so, vacation photos to come soon, but maybe not till the weddings are over. it will be BIG fun though!

hello and goodbye

welcome to the world aaron greenslade!!!


our dear friends isaac and sarah had their first son last week and we are so glad he's big and healthy! can't wait to see this little one grow up.

and we leave 8am sunday morning for vacation with the prater clan. we will be lounging all week in obx. matt is especially excited for tennis (he bought his own racquet this week) and paddle ball (if the harris teeter has it).


and if i don't get to the computer, happy birthday to my dear matty this sunday. love you so much. thank you for the most recent memory with you...benadryl nasal spray?
