Staight from the front page of Gourmet Magazine (April 2006).....our dinner! 

good morning!
ted, our resident fix-it guy, promptly arrived this morning at 8 am and is now busy cutting a giant whole in our ceiling above the vanity. he had the upstairs neighbor turn on their water for a bit and it just came pouring out. i think we may have an interesting day here:)

my other cutest little cousin 

Back by popular demand....

now that things have settled down around here and things are pretty much back to normal(?) i thought i would try to start writing regularly again. i just reread some of my early posts and was somewhat impressed with my writings! in the days since the wedding i have been picking up some of my old favorite activites like reading self help books, researching things like unicorns and lemons, and making messes. some of the newer activities i have picked up include expanding my cooking knowledge, "keeping house", and filling out financial goal setting worksheets! it all feels so grown up! i am really looking forward to the summer getting here and sticking around for awhile...i got a new bike with a basket for hitting the local farmers market and library and also for riding to the beach! plus the city is so fun in the summer, there is always something going on!.

that's it for now!

my cutest littlest cousin!
