High Five for Friday

Happy Friday, all! Off to try to get myself a job so I can properly celebrate Labor Day Weekend. If not, I'll be celebrating taking off from job searching. For now, here are my high fives for this week!

 
  1. An incredible sight of fireflies in our front yard. If only a video or camera could do them justice. Just come on over and we'll sit on the porch and see em live!
2. Learning to play the piano again. Thanks, Dad for the lessons. Sorry, fam for the beginner's noises.
3. Getting back in touch with a friend from several years ago. We connected when we needed a buddy for our wild pups, now she got be back into yoga with plans of scalloping, kayaking, and being overall awesome. Her and fiancƩ are so cool. That's her
new pup, Brody in the picture.
4. My beautiful parents celebrating THIRTY SEVEN years of marriage this week. So amazing. And my dad wrote a lovely little song for her. 37 lines he's ever said to her with a lot of sweet and a little bit of funny. "We're having a baby! Three times." Perfect.
5. Labor Day weekeeend! As if I've been slaving away at my busy job, really needing a vaca. Nonetheless, I'm excited to see lots of friends and celebrate at the lake.
Then I'll get my job search on in Jacksonville next week! Bring it on... Again, Jax! 
And hopefully see some super missed friends!

I hope your weekend will be filled with friends, barbecue, and some kind of body of water as Labor Day should be! If not, I hope it's enjoyed anyway! :)

Linking up with Lauren for HF4F!

Tivoli and Rugby

         Adding another great week to the list for my time in Denmark. Last Tuesday, I went to an international gathering for students at DTU (Denmark Technical Institute) at the Cellar Bar. I met a couple cool people there from Belgium (Ruben), Canada, France, and Denmark and met back up with a couple of them on Friday night. We went to see one of their Spanish friends play a Latin set at a bar in the city. On our way there, we were a bit worried at how this place would be considering it was on the street well known for its... Services. But we got to the Luna Bar and it wound up being really fun. The band was actually excellent , and had everyone dancing. Ruben and his friends were a lot of fun to hang out with.          On Saturday, I went to Tivoli, the second oldest theme park, with the family and met Claus' parents and sister there. It's no wonder Tivoli inspired Walt Disney to do his own thing. It's a beautiful  amusement par...

Sunday Times {Plus a Quarterly Review}

A weekly update has now begun! If not for anything but to keep more of journal for ourselves to recap and think about each week. So much happens so quick I don't want to forget all the fun details! This week was my first full week to work with all the crew at my new job. Lots of planning with caseloads and meetings, and such. Excited to get working with the kids more in the next weeks. Dylan started his clinical this week too for his last semester of grad school! Woohoo! He's been killin' it and so close to graduating.  Monday was Labor Day and was a very cozy rainy Oregon day. It's been quite toasty lately, so this actually felt good. So we had a long walk to Peninsula Park for some roses and then hung around the casa making bags and relaxin.  Back to work on Tuesday for a good day and a rocking Crossfit after. I made some chicken tzatziki, a new fav.  Wednesday night we tried a Burmese place nearby after another very hot bike ride.  Thursday we actually went to a c...

Washington Birthday Round 3 {My 35th}

In pure Dylabby fashion, we had a very informal plan to head east to see the Painted Hills, John Day Fossil Beds, John Day River, and desert time, but then as we were packing up the car that morning, we changed our plans and decided to head north to Colchuck Lake in Washington. More chance for seeing the Northern Lights? Autumn colors? Less chance of rattlesnakes biting our dogs? Those were a few of the random reasons that were thrown out there.  We booked a hotel on the drive up for Wenatchee, WA near Leavenworth-- Leavenworth was crazy expensive, later to find out the Oktoberfest reason why. And booking camping in Washington is not fun. If anyone has tips that don’t involve having to book 6months (or even a month) in advance or having to do a whole lottery to get a permit, please let us last-minute travelers know. We did get a good stop in Leavenworth for some German beers, people watching, and a beautiful river walk right in town, and a lovely sunset dinner view.  The next ...
