Our going away party was yesterday as most of you know. Our crazy week of working the week before pretty much left us unprepared for the going away party. Our house was just trashed. So we spent much of yesterday morning straightening and cleaning in preparation for the party. N insisted that we go for […]

Count down 8 days to go…
Today is our going away party/ potluck. N is making a pasta salad from scratch and I am making pioneer woman’s cinnamon rolls from scratch, mmmm. We are going to eat, drink and hang out with people, this is our last chance to before we leave Arizona. Choreographing routines and working band camps has ended […]
Am I crazy? Probably!
First I should update you all on how the weekend of N’s work parties went huh? The station closing down party was sad and weird at the same time. We said goodbye to many really great people and were also creeped out by others. Channel 2 is officially off the air and now N is […]
Tonight one door is closing…
The last newscast is tonight. N will anchor it with several of his other coworkers. This will be the sign-off broadcast for the station, can you believe it? This particular chapter in our lives is very nearly over, it is very surreal. We are obviously happy and excited for our new opportunities despite the inevitable […]
We've got 12 feet of space, can we make our house fit?
The moving company was booked and now we are doing a “semi test run” to see if we can make all our belongings fit into a 12 foot long, 8 foot wide and 9 foot tall area cause that is all the space we booked through the moving company. Yep, we are loading the truck […]
My eyes are leaking! Help…
I am not a crier, many of you already know this. I have never been an overly emotional girl, I grew up the oldest with two younger brothers. Being girly hasn’t ever been my thing. I preferred to play in the mud and fist fight. I have been known to cry at some funerals, during […]
The Celebrity Ads, what are your thoughts?
It seems everyone but Britney Spears has responded to McCain’s petty celebrity ad! When Paris Hilton responded it was funny but now that Obama has responded I am not sure what I think. I mean there are too many other important issues to focus on right now and all we can dwell on is the […]
My creativity is sucked dry but we are making progress!
I cannot believe there is only 1 week of broadcast time left for the station! N and I are doing just fine in light of the news. Things just worked out for us it seems but we are still in shock about it all happening so fast. He will still be working until 8/26 so […]

My tear jerking song…
This is for Teeni! The tear jerker song I want to share is My Wish by Rascal Flatts. It’s a “family bond” song that my mom said “explained her wish for us”. Tag, you are it! Now post yours! Here is a video I found: My next post is going to be password protected for […]
House floods and hair dye…
I am one of those 20somethings who already has gray hairs, yep it is true! Actually it is a chunk of gray hairs, kind of a streak on my right side right near my hair line. I usually dye my hair with the intent of covering the gray I have tons of hair so I […]
Don't hesitate to finger your flowers or shake them! Ha…
I know, strange headline huh? It’s for real though, I have tomatoes growing inside my home. They are in a window box and are a result of some cuttings we took. The tomato plants began flowering and we would “finger the flowers” or gently shake them to pollinate them since bees and humming birds are […]

Wordless Wednesday & Wilted Asparagus Tip.
Got Wilted Asparagus? If you buy fresh asparagus you have probably experienced asparagus wilt after the bunch has been in the fridge for a while. You know it gets all droopy, soft and looks like it needs to be tossed out… I was surprised to learn how many people don’t know that the limp asparagus […]
Whew, it is OVER!
You asked for it! Here is the scoop on the yard sale weekend complete with photos. My brother, mother and niece came to spend the weekend with us, to help and add to the excitement. My niece, Hazel was teething so she was tired and semi-cranky. Here is a photo to illustrate her mood: We […]
Woho, got a house and some travel ideas…
After weeks of excessively emailing property management companies, banging my head against the wall when they don’t respond and after much hair pulling it appears we have found ourselves a house! I posted a few “housing wanted” ads on craigslist and several property owners responded to me. After viewing photos of homes we have found […]

Thoughts on struggle and peaceful garden photos
To me the hardest thing is to watch a loved one go through trying times and to not be able to help them. My brother is dealing with some heavy stuff right now. He had a child with a girlfriend and they have just come to terms with the idea that they can’t be together […]
Amazing weather rocks! People who don't respond to inquiries from their site suck.
We have had cool, humid, rainy weather this whole week and I am loving it! Sure the humid weather makes my hair go nutty but it makes my skin so happy and it is cooler than normal when it rains! Besides stormy weather just calms me. On stormy days I may even curl up with […]
I feel good! Are we ahead of the game?
Well, we spent the weekend dealing with yard sale crap and we even devised a little marketing ploy for our sale. N made up a nifty flier and I just posted it all over the internets this morning! We are fleeing poverty with a view! A well known Flagstaff personality is leaving Arizona… Come buy […]
Beer fest in flagstaff and the regular domestic disaster before moving
N got tickets to beer fest through his work and was super excited to go. He is afterall a beer lover/ homebrewer so this event was right up his alley. Me, I am not a fan of beer but I figured getting out of the house and having some alcohol might not be a bad […]
