Little Bit of Everything [Baseball, Water, Labor Day]

Happy 1st of September and Labor Day, friends! The last couple of weeks have been filled with greatness liiiike...

Lots of fun with this guy...

Two half days at work very well spent. On Wednesday, Nick and I had planned to paddle board but a date mix-up led us to a Fish ~~Fry~~ Grill with his team, hosted by his generous sponsor parents. They grilled up a portion of their 200lbs of personally caught Alaskan salmon and halibut. Fantastic. If only we hadn't just indulged in some deliciously filling MShack burgers, I would've enjoyed it even more! It was like an excited lightbulb went off in my stomach when I finally became hungry enough to eat it.

We spent the next day paddle boarding, Lemon Barring, and stumbling in on a Sam Hunt concert at Mavericks. The end of the night transformed from a unique situation into a fun, exciting and strangely romantic night.

An incredibly enjoyable time at a concert with Neighbor John and Leslie, cuttin a rug on the dance floor. Enjoyed several front porch chillin nights with the neighbs too. The guy's pretty rad.

Beach time and a farmers market pit stop to pick up this beaut. After Lola's demise, I did some research so hopefully I'll keep miss Dea (Dee-ah) alive.

A going away party for Kelly Dill that was appropriately filled with slip-n-slide flip cup, a redneck coozie (duct tape), a game we never really got the hang of, a soapy trampoline, fireball, and good peeps. Sad to see this girl go.

Wedding dress shopping with my brother's future bride! I was honored enough to be invited to this, and especially honored to be a bridesmaid! She's going to be one beautiful bride. It's a good problem to have when all the dresses look too good to decide.

A baseball game with miss Leslie and Dana...

Another baseball game with Miss Meryl!

And yet another game by myself last night. Gotta support this man!

Just finished off this weekend at an always fantastic lake party at Lake Weir. Got to bring Meryl along too to meet some of the bests. Cannon balls off the jet skis, Trudy's ridiculous smorgasbords of goodies and catching up with these friends was much appreciated. Just what I needed.

Oh and heeey! Nick and the boys are going to playoffs!! Woop woop! So excited and proud of him and the team!

What greatness was your week/weekend/Labor Day filled with?!

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

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

Home

Home is where the heart is . Home is wherever I'm with you . Home is where you are . Home is where I wanna be. Home is inside you . Now for the good news I postponed from the previous post for a combination of organization, suspense, and getting the chance to use another cliche... After my travels so far, my original thinking that I would be so likely to stay in Europe have changed a little. As I began to realize during my American road trip, and I think I mentioned in my posts about it, it's really important to me to stay close to my family, especially when I have one of my own. So I started thinking that maybe the best thing would be to go and live abroad and explore until wanting to settle down with a family and all. Now these thoughts have become even more clear. Being so far from home has made me realize just how much I love and miss my family, and how I don't want to miss much more of their lives. It's been interesting too

Where's Abby (+ Dylan and dogs)
