High five for Friday

Happy Friday, Friends! I hope everyone enjoys their weekends and starts gettin those bellies ready for Thanksgiving! I know I'm more stoked than ever for this Thanksgiving. I get to meet my precious niece and see my brother and sis I haven't seen in over TWO YEARS.

Talk about too long. These are some of the highlights from my week.

1. A week full of amazing nanny times. Walks with this precious angel baby, sharing the love of flowers, the beach and music made for a lovely Sunday. Stopping to enjoy the musicians on the street was beyond worth it, watching her little legs bouncin and shoulders swaying (link to video of the cuteness).The lady even let her pluck her (probably) first violin. Another enjoyed night watching three great girls last night. From 2 years old to 15, these girls all have an amazing sense of humor, sweetness, and character. Their whole family makes me excited about family life.

2. Bringing these two beauts home. Meet Buttercup and Cornflake. I went in for a window screen and came home with these guys. "Priorities," as Les agreed. Also, loved my interactions and conversations with the lady at Home Depot. We shared a love for plants and referring to them as people. She said she may have loved her succulent more than the guy that gave it to her. Oh, Lynn from Home Depot. I'll visit you again.

3. Snugs with these guys

...And many more lovely times with this handsome man. More adventures to be shared on here soon. Maybe. If I feel like sharing our sappy stories. ;)

4. The cool weather coming, leaving some of us unprepared, but making coffee and cozy beds even more appreciated.

5. My giving, wonderful, helpful friend Leslie lettin me move on into her casa. And our brief, but much needed catching up yesterday after a month PLUS away. Too. Long.

Linking up with Lauren with high five for Friday!

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...

Hej fra Danmark!

So I've finally arrived in Denmark and all settled in already. It's awesome in every way so far; the parents are so friendly and cool, the kids are adorable, the weather is amazing (I'm the only one walking around in shorts, a T-shirt and sandals, of course), the house is a beautiful, cozy home built around 1921, I just got done with a little explorative walk and the neighborhood/area is picturesque with flowers everywhere, adorable homes, and a lake nearby... It's just wonderful. Yesterday, after a little confusion about where to meet up, using a stranger's phone (as always), and wandering around a bit, Lotte and one of the kids picked me up from the airport greeting me with the sign shown below. We made it back to the house after a little detour (I guess Lotte gets distracted driving too!), and we had coffee. We had breads and cake they got from the bakery for me to try, and they were all delicious. ...

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...

Where's Abby (+ Dylan and dogs)
