wil and kris (and gracie and ava)

it’s been some time since a post…well it’s been some time since i’ve actually had a chance to sit down for more than a few minutes. i can’t believe it’s already october (ok, almost). upon walking into kroger last night, wil and i saw a huge display of christmas. what?! but more so, i just can’t believe it’s already saturday. this week has flown by- it seems like i was just having dinner with mom.

we had a great weekend- i loved having mom here, and even though we didn’t do anything too touristy or out of the ordinary, it was so nice that she just lived our daily life with us a for a while. having our good friends cassie and mike over, shopping, sitting out with gracie at starbucks, taking a walk to the dog park, going to church, and meeting our community group, among other things. mom- i am so glad you hopped out here for a bit. i loved ‘hosting’ you (even if gracie had to be your roommate) and had a wonderful time!

one day while mom, gracie and i brought dinner to wil at work, a dog on a motorcycle pulled up to the light where we were sitting…ok there was a man on that motorcycle as well, but it was hard to not laugh and gasp at this sight- a dog, with goggles, balancing without a belt or seat, looking at us as her owner sped away. we found out as they waited she’s traveled 16000 miles, at only a year and a half old! i’d say you had to be there- but alas, she has her own website. it was too unique of a sight to not tell anyone.
anyways, once a guest leaves, it’s nice to have a day or two to get things back to normal- do some dishes, put the house back in place, follow up on some laundry, etc. i feel like i am just now able to do that this weekend- with a few days in a row where i was out the door at 9 and not home till 10. on top of my full days, wil worked a few nights in a row, leaving gracie at home to entertain herself. finally last night wil and i got to relax and enjoy the evening in the kitchen, baking,- all the while gracie kept looking at us like, “you’re finally home again?”

and now, as gracie sleeps, exhausted from playing at the dog park to immediately being thrown in the tub, i am making my to do list for the rest of the afternoon. laundry, picking up the house, and a bit of homework seem to be the major things. oh what an exciting weekend.

p.s. our new windows are in! well, all but the sliding door, and they also have to be finished out on the outside, but otherwise they are fantastic!
