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...

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)
