Ten years ago today I bought my condo!

Ten years ago today I bought my condo and I have felt lucky to live here every day since!  It's amazing space that used to be the auditorium in a school.  Photo cred to Shelby Osmond for capturing the uniqueness of my space.

So long, Portland

Sunday drive

We drove to/through the Gorge and enjoyed lunch at Skamania Lodge.  The PNW is beautiful.

The closest World Market to me is 5 hours away in New Jersey.  The closets World Market to my parents is 5 miles away.  #noexplanationneeded

My friend Mary

Mary and her mom Jane gave one of the workshops at the Let Your Light Shine women's conference Saturday.  It was called "Celebratory Parenting: How One Family Found Joy in Mothering Young Children and Shared it Across Generations".  It was very inspiring.

Let Your Light Shine

This is a BAD picture of a very GOOD women's conference.  That's Jeff Holland (surprise speaker!) on the left and Stephanie Nielson third from the right on the front row.  It was a very inspiring day.

Jen Thomas is awesome!  #letyourlightshine2015

Industrial stool

This industrial stool spoke to me when I was antiquing recently (and it was on sale!).  It's a nice addition to my collection of mis-matched chairs.

TBT: The cousins (minus Chuck) at Disneyland

Typewriters

If I didn't already have a dozen typewriters in my collection I would have bought this beauty.

Chairs at Harvard

Getting ready for the Commencement festivities.

Memorial Day

I will miss all these Pattersons

Rambling and antiquing

I had a good day rambling and antiquing around Massachusetts.  I came home with a few treasures.

#thisis30

My good friend Aimee turns 30 today.  It was fun to celebrate with her and sing Happy Birthday to her at midnight!

TBT: Happy Birthday to them

I remember thinking it was cool that my niece Adrienne was born on (her dad) Robes' birthday.  She was 2 in this photo and he was 38 +40 pounds from steroids after his brain tumor diagnosis.  I hope Adrienne got my birthday package and has a good first missionary birthday.  #pattonmemories

My friend Amy

Amy has a 22 month old little boy and by the end of next week will add a set of twin boys to their family!  #36weeks #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever
