where to begin… May happened… then june… then we moved, yup moved… yeah, i have no idea how this has all gone by so fast or what exactly we got to where we are now.
I’ll just let the mass back up of pictures do most of the talking…

May – spring came around. prepped for an event at work. went to a schwanky bike event. got ready for my first (and hopefully last) trip to las vegas.

June – vegas work trip.

my 34th birthday.

one of many friend visits over the summer.


began exploring a new-ish part of town for us, NW and the pearl, due to a couple errands taking us over that way.

visited our friends in their tiny house. helped out at the disaster relief trials. began to consider moving as our apartment needed some MAJOR foundation and structural repairs that we (and the kitties) were not too keen on putting up with all summer. wrote our rental company to see what all they had available coming up in the next few months (throwing in half jokingly we’d especially love a gas cook stove and claw foot tub…). They wrote back and asked how we felt about NW 21st… went to look at an apartment…


July – two weeks after looking at the apartment, we were in. yes, 2 weeks. i’m amazed we both made it through with no major breakdowns. downsized belongings again. hired movers due to no transfer fees or new deposits, yippee! will never move without them again. went to see Fiona Apple preform (she’s wonderful)

August – settling in. decorating. exploring our new part of town. saw Sigur Ros at the Edgefield amphitheater. taught my first class on tea at work. said goodbye to some dear friends.

September – said hello to more visiting friends.

had our 10th wedding anniversary. had a lovely vacation.

wow i love this handsome boy!

Whew! how is it already autumn!?!?!
