Meet Suzie...

....my newest greatest and latest addiction. Her name "SUZIE" comes from my mamacita, b/c every time I sit at her, I hear her my mamacita's voice. I think I caught a bug or something...aghhh! (or my real mom is unavailable to answer my phone calls b/c she's hidden in the mountains for girls camp) I turn to suzie, the sewing machine, for solace....

look at my latest creations:

Saundra Visits!

Wooo Wee, we were sure stoked to have our VERY FIRST houseguest. Thanks Saundra for flying the trek to get to us, we enjoyed having you here.

on her visit, we experienced...

boston trains, boston walking...and walking...and walking, chipotle(it doesn't matter where you are it's a must), Nahant Beach sun bathing, Sailing the Boston Harbor, decorating our picture-less walls, visit to Joanns fabrics, sewing fun clutches (oddly turning into our parents), scarfing down delicious greasy pizza, Temple trip to Boston Temple, church in our family ward, and sunday dinners. Good times...

See pics below of our adventures!

The week of remembering our blessings...

WOW...

what a week. While most were bbq-ing and watching fireworks, devin and I woke up mid day (we're on night shifts) to this surprise... Apparently it was from two floors up and coming through the walls of our new remodeled apt. Best part, the maintenance man lied and said he had checked it out...by the looks and sounds of it....it was far from being "checked out"...

It was finally attended to and didn't ruin THAT much in our apt except three rolls of toilet paper, and the baseboard in the bathroom.

Then to top the week off, I went out to gina and found her with out two of her shoe's. WHA?? yea, gina was robbed and violated. sad sad day just ask my mom who had to listen to me.

On a positive note:

we received our fabulous sofa....

Fantastic co-workers from the hop came up to visit :)

we still have one another....

and we have the weekend off :)

We are blessed!
