Baby Shower for Jen Ryan!





Over Easter weekend a few of us had a mini-shower and farewell luncheon for my friend Jen Ryan, who recently moved to Dallas, TX. We met at CRAVE for a yummy lunch and some dangerously good chocolate turtle cupcakes from the Franklin Street Bakery (BTW: I highly recommend this awesome Minneapolis bakery!). What fun it was to hear about Jen's plans as she and Scott prepare for Baby Ryan's arrival while also getting settled in their new home. We are all going to miss Jen a lot, but are very excited for Baby Ryan's arrival in just a couple of weeks!

The Wigwam Resort and Spa




It is not too often that my weekly work travels allow me to stay at places "worth writing home about," but this week I am in Phoenix staying at the Wigwam Resort and Spa. My camera phone does not really do it justice, but the resort is quite quaint and I have the cutest little individual casita to stay in. The resort also has great paths to walk along while soaking up the heat and beautiful flowers and an Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa. Now...if I just had time to lay by the pool all day with a margarita in hand it would be a perfect week! ;-)

Ok, so I've been slow to update the blog these past couple of weeks! We had a great time last weekend at the Junior League Transfer wine tasting event. About 40 people attended this year and it is a good thing we decided to have it at the home of our friends Leslie and David Niemoeller rather than our house because their home is much bigger, and better suited to entertaining that many guests! We had so much fun, I got distracted and unfortunately did not take any pictures--big bummer. Last Sunday we celebrated with Paul's family with a nice lunch for his dad's 74th birthday!! (Pics to be posted soon). This weekend, we took Spenser and Abbie to the 2nd annual Jr. League Bunny Brunch and had a great time. (Pics to be posted soon)

A Little Bit About Me.

In an effort to stay better connected with friends and family near and far I have decided to begin this blog to share the happenings and highlights which make up the days of our lives...I hope you enjoy!
