Happy Cows and Kin

This weekend was another great one for the books

I danced crazy with Megan, surely getting funny looks.

We had wine so bad we actually trashed it

That never happens, so you know it was sh*%

On Saturday, the boy and I went around town

Searched fleamarkets for a thermos, and laid in the garden of the crowned.

We enjoyed the sun for as long as we could

And missed our chance again for smørrebrød.

I got to meet his sister and her man

They were such awesome people, a lovely clan.

His sister, was the epitome of cute

With her baby bump, chucks, and cute jumpsuit.

I finally got my fix of some delightful raw fish

Then we headed home early, as we all wished.

They also got to meet Mom, Liesl and Chris.

With Chris' rap and foot rash, they were acquainted quite quick.

I still regret missing a birthday and rugby.

I hope these friends will soon forgive me.

Sunday was the day for the happy bovines.

We drove to the country to see them align,

excited at the gates to be set free.

After the long winter, they had such glee.

After a perfect day with these cows of dairy

We headed to his Mom's for an afternoon so merry.

This was the first time I met his sweet mom

And his step dad who's famous for singing songs

I also got to meet Sune's nephew

He's a funny little one, almost two.

Three days filled with cows, laughs, and kin

I'd definitely do it all over again.

And here's the farm's video of the day!

2023 in Review (Plus 2020-2022, oops)

I am super bummed to realize that I haven't done a yearly review/highlights since 2019! That's FOUR YEARS ago! Pre covid, pre Oregon, pre master's degree, pre return to Florida, pre a million babies being born... So much has changed! It's always to nice to sit back and look at all that happens in a year too. It's now February. I started this post in December and was about to go and try to edit and make it all fancy with links to other posts and all kinds of cool things.... I'm sure there are some mistakes even with the years, things left out... but progress over perfection right? We're just going posting it in 3...2...1... Have fun! 2023 1. Bike bike biking everywhere. To the Grom for tasty lunch treats, Indian almost every week, grocery shopping, to the gym, just to bike around in the sun. It's been great! 2. All the babies came: Lowey-Balls, Krupkas, Bakers, neighbor friends x2, Sarkissians, and even more to come! 3. Finally got the best job wit...

Things I Learned This Weekend

1. Throwing away pictures quickly turns into hours of laughing at old selves and bringing back so many memories. High school friends and I have often wondered what we did in high school since we weren't the typical partying teens. After this picture raid, I realized... we took pictures. In dressing rooms, walmart, cars, kitchen islands... 2. My parents are awesome. I didn't learn this this weekend but it was definitely reinforced. They are just such dedicated, good people. We're also surrounded by some amazingly supportive friends. 3. My dad is so cool. I mean really... Cool guy on the right... Can he get any more awesome? Not to mention that crazy guy on the left, aka Uncle Dennis. I never did get a straight answer about whether he dressed like that on the reg or not. So was that a regular occurrence, Dennis?! ;) 4. Sleepy babies are one of the sweetest things to see. 5. Having adult conversations with toddlers is so amusing to me. Brooks and I d...

Opposite Ends (Atlantic to Pacific)

It's been over a year since being back in Florida. I started thinking of some of these comparisons shortly after returning, but now I have even more to add. And it's more comparing the Oregon Coast to this area, of course. If you're new here, we were in Pacific City, OR a little old town of ~1000 people. Now we're in Atlantic Beach, FL. 1. The amount of laundry. I'd say 3 shirts a day in the summer is typical for this Florida heat and humidity. Go for a morning walk, change shirts... Plant some flowers. Gotta change... Workout, definitely change. Shower, dog walk-- one more change before the night's done. 2. The bank and post office are open on Saturdays here! And restaurants don't close for the winter. 3. Florida neighborhood strolls: Seeing 10+ humans on every walk compared to often only 0. I love the community here! Lovely neighbors, gym rats, baristas. Even my parents! The Padres moved 40 minutes away vs 2.5! Yahoo! Pacific City was just so empty. On...

Where's Abby (+ Dylan and dogs)
