Lots of News~

We have a lot happening all of a sudden here. Most exciting, is that I just got a job with the Idaho Foodbank as their Events Manager. I am VERY excited to get back in the fundraising business and can't wait to get started working for this very worthy cause. Idaho Foodbank. My first event is November 28, so stay tuned!

Next, Chris & I will be moving into a house in November! Of course we were hoping to BUY a house, but the lay off and the economy changed those plans a bit. Instead, we are going to be leasing my best of friend's Liz's home (formerly the home of the Anderson's). The house is making the rounds in our circle of friends, but its a beautiful home and I can't wait to move and get out of this apartment. Its served me well, but with a fiance and puppy in here, we are started to feel a little cramped. Fergie will be excited for a yard and has already spent many days over there. I'm excited that Chris & I will be able to collect our belongings from family members homes all over town and have everything in one place!

FAAN Walk

Saturday morning was the FAAN walk for food allergies...walking towards a cure. We proudly went out to support our friends the Kearney's (Sarah did a FANTASTIC job organizing the first year event) It was a brisk morning, but perfect for the 1.5 mile walk. Of course we brought Fergie.

It was a rough morning, so daddy & Fergie needed a nap when we got home.

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

One of the advantages to being temporarily unemployed is that I get to do stuff I wouldn't normally be able to do...like chaperone Zane and his daycare mates to the Pumpkin Patch!

The perfect pumpkin

New Wedding Website

We now have a wedding website, in addition to the blog (I'm loving all this free time!)

Check it out here.

another baby on the way...

But not mine! My cousin Corie recently announced her new little bun in her oven, or "baby appleseed" as its been dubbed since its roughly that size now. I couldn't be more excited - this baby will be the first for our generation and sure to be spoiled tons :-) Corie and I are 18 months apart and grew up like sisters, so I am hoping that our kids will do the same.

Pendleton Balloon Bash

Another trip to Pendleton has made it in to the record books. We were lucky to be able to fly every morning, but it was COLD - although it didn't snow like it did here in Boise. No balloon pictures yet, but the scaled down party room this year still lived up to its reputation.This will only make sense to a handul of people...but we had a backrub count of FOUR!

The economy hits home

I was laid off on Monday...what a surreal feeling. I haven't been unemployed since I was 17! I'm only two days in to it and already bored. Fergie is getting constant walks, I've ran some errands for Junior League, applied for a few jobs already. I'm fortunate to be in the position where I can take some time to find the job I REALLY want, not just the first one that comes along, but its still a strange feeling. So keep your ears open for anyone needing an event planning nazi!

October 4, 2008

We had a busy Saturday this weekend - starting off with See Spot Walk. It was chaotic, but fun. We couldn't believe that people were actually lining the streets to watch everyone go by with their dogs...I'm pretty sure the crowd thought our dog was the cutest.




That night we went to Josh & Miranda's 2nd Annual Hippie & Hookah party - it also wound up being a poker and Guitar Hero party too! Thanks for the great time guys, peace!
