good things come to those who wait

My dear blog readers (all nine of you :), I know you all are dying to know what has happened in my life this week that has kept me from my religious blogging. Well have no fear, a plethora of posts is near. And just to tide you over, this adorable picture of Pace. He just keeps gettin cuter!

Is it just me?

Or did JCrew become AMAZING all of a sudden?! Check out their fall line here. Also I think I have a preoccupation with yellow. (I blame you Nikki : )

A chance to help

I am starting to believe that there is no such thing as tragedy. There is only opportunity for growth, and should you accept it, the reward overcomes the sailing of the hardship. -cjane
For those of you who have not heard, Stephanie Clark Nielson and her husband were in a terrible plane accident and are hospitalized. I have been following the news on Stephanie's sisters blog cjanerun ever since my mom told me the news. Please go and read all about it on cjane, her posts about her sister are poignant and moving. Whether you know this dear family or not, this is a wonderful chance to help another human being. Please donate to Nie recovery and send along your thoughts and prayers.

A day off

Luke and I had a day off together which lately have been few and far between, so we headed up to SLC. We had a lovely lunch at ACME Burger (veggie burger is amazing thanks Nicci for recommending) which was indeed anything but ordinary and quite tasty as well. We walked around Temple Square around sunset it was gorgeous and hardly anyone was there, it was a great afternoon.

Happy Birthday to our Favorite Sister!

Happy Happy Birthday Megann dear! We love you!

Oh Linds

I was sorting through pictures and came across this gem. Me and Lindsey at the shower she threw for me almost 31/2 years ago, where does the time go?

Weekend Weddings

2 weekends, 2 weddings; Thanks Gillian & Nikki for letting us be a part of your day. Both weddings were lovely and Allison & I are going to take a nice break in September, unless of course any of you are in need of two fantastic florists! And just in case you are nottinggatefloral.blogspot.com got itself a well needed facelift, go see for yourself.

...with a little help from my friends

It's amazing what you miss when you don't go to the movies very often. Steve & Allison had to expose us to the greatness that is Across The Universe! We loved it, and are kicking ourselves for not seeing it in the theaters. So if your like us and missed the boat on this one, go rent it immediately.
