My weekend was lovely. After a horrible scare with Pancho on Thursday night {which I’ll blog about later this week} & spending most of Friday morning at the vet, I was in need of some fun sister time.
Friday night: Michael, Katherine, & I went for a run/bike ride {I almost died}, then out for mexican food & margaritas. Katherine & Michael get along so well; Katherine insists he is her in male form, & she’s convinced that’s why I married him.
Saturday we went to the Farmers Market & on a huge thrifting trip which lasted a few hours. Lots of new stuff to be blogged for A Year of Thrift in August! It should also be noted I was haunted by owls all day. It started when I bought a peacock-colored owl brooch at the first place we stopped. Then, at a tiny antique store, I found a set of ceramic owls & knew I had to have them for my kitchen windowsill. Next, at Goodwill, I saw owl after owl, including this guy. I’m kind of sorry I didn’t buy him, honestly.
The rest of Saturday was spent painting cabinets at the new rental, eating hot dogs & homemade hot fudge sundaes, & watching movies. Bridget Jones 2 may or may not have made an appearance.
Sunday we tried another church & were given adorable little jars of homemade jam for being first time visitors {which pushed that church squarely in the lead… I mean, come on, free jam!}. We went back to the new house for a little while, then bummed around & went for another bike ride. That night, we had a big steak & potato dinner, paired with a bottle of wine I had bought for Katherine in Napa. We also made the most delicious Caprese salad appetizers with our fresh Farmers Market bounty: tomatoes, basil, & mozzarella {with salt & pepper, of course}. DELICIOUS.
A wonderful weekend with two of my favorite people in the world. I was so sad to see it end.
This week, I’ll be packing up for our third move in 2.5 months. I’m not prepared {in any way, especially mentally} for another move, but I know it’s for the better. This will hopefully be the last time we move for a good two years, so that is a comfort, as is the fact that we’re moving to a bigger, safer, more beautiful home. I suppose I am excited, after all.
What did you do over the weekend?

From osarah:
I’m sorry about the scare with Pancho, and I hope everything is all right now.
As for our weekend, we didn’t do anything nearly as exciting as you. Mostly, I just slept. I took Friday off and it was glorious. Sunday we drove to a town about an hour away to have Chili’s. We’re really living it up… :)
From Erin:
GAH! I need that owl!
From Katherine:
You forgot to put what Michael thought of the free jam! lolololol I had fun, cant wait til next time. I love you!
From Kyla Roma:
Good luck with this move, you’re going to be an old pro after this one! :) Can’t wait to hear about how much you love the new place. And I love the little owl!! What a cute find :)
From Stef:
I LOVE owls! I’m obsessed with them. We did not have any plans this weekend, which was SO nice. We saw Dinner for Schmucks, went to the gym, hung out with friends, and went out for fajitas on Sunday. Oh and I accidentally slept till noon on Saturday. Apparently, I was tired but I felt like I wasted my day away.
From Nora:
I love that little owl! So cute! Too bad we can’t all descend on your town to help you move. Surely that would make it easier =)
I’m now craving hot dogs & homemade sundaes…
From deiala:
I spent the weekend getting stuff for the apartment on Saturday.
On Sunday I went out for a long breakfast with my BFF from elementary school we hadn’t seen each other for months and it was sooo good to talk again. In the afternoon I packed some boxes for the move next week…
Pretty busy and a lot more boring than your weekend, it seems to me.
From Heather:
Gosh you 2 are pretty…
I tagged you on my blog. Please do not feel obligated to do it!!
From Liz:
Oh my goodness that little owly is so cute! As are you. Duh.
From san:
You and your sister don’t look alike at all… heh.
From Thea:
Ack, I hate moving too! But, it sounds like it is definitely going to be for the best – Good Luck :)
On another note, I wonder if church jam has any special properties … maybe if you have a PB&J with church jam your move will be easier?
From Courtney:
Ahhhh…I LOVE Turnbull’s Old Bull wine! My parents are members of their wine club, so we went to one of their barrel tastings as a family last year. So fun! And such a pretty winery. Sorry about the pup problems, I feel your pain though having gone though it recently with my doggy too.
From Kaci Johanna:
We went camping for my boyfriend’s family reunion! Too much fun, too much sun. :)
Hope Pancho is doing okay!
From Suburban Sweetheart:
…what color is peacock color?!
