boston

were back and all survived.

i can say that im really glad to be home, i was really starting to miss my yard, bed, diet, and routine. we did all kinds of really awesome stuff. swam in the ocean, saw the uss constitution, saw the 1 if by land and 2 if by sea church, walked the freedom trail, ate lots of great food, went on the subway, went on boat rides, went to the aquarium, played in fountains, went to fenway park, saw the mayflower and plymouth rock, drank a cold sam adams across the street from a cold sam adams, saw the cheers bar, played on the make way for ducks, all while pushing strollers for miles. the reason for the trip was scotts brothers wedding. absolutely beautiful. the church was huge, old and HOT. the reception was at the omni parker house on the top floor ballroom. quite exquisite! the drive home was over 13 hours. and yes it was with all 4 kids in the truck.

we really had a great time thanks to barb, jack, chris and lindsay. thank you all!

and welcome to the fam lindsay!!!!!...although youve been around about three times longer than me.

were back

from the cabins...just long enough to
unpack,
do laundry,
and pack for boston.
this summer is just flying by
and i love every minute of it!

i like a lot of things.

really i do.

clothes shopping is not one of my likes.

actually i hate it.

well, i have a fancy wedding to go to this summer in boston. my hubbys older brother is finally marrying his long time girlfriend. its an evening wedding. bottom line, i need a new dress.

last night my shopaholic cousin sara took me to lohmans. i tried on about 20 dresses when i found the perfect dress. its a $175 dress, i got it for $23. yes $23 thats not a typo and it is including tax. it does need to be hemmed, dry cleaned and pressed. perfect. done. or so i thought.

sara then drug me to the mall to try on about 200 shirts and 30 pair of jeans from the limited (clothing store). apparently i NEED new clothes for this week long trip. apparently my holy jeans and old shirts arent good enough. ok fine. so i let her buy me 2 new shirts. they are very nice. one is black and one is purple. and they were both marked down to about $10 each. not too bad i guess. i was able to talk her out of buying me new jeans. i will go to this resale shop soon to buy a new pair. i promise. fancy shoes and pants.

p.s. i still love you sara beth!
