Plan B

On Time!! Oh well! I couldn't let the opportunity pass to wish Amy B. happy birthday!! Amy is truly one of my very favorite people! She is sarcastic and witty, generous and kind. She has truly been an angel in my life on numerous occasions. She is one of the very few people I would let into my ever-so-messy bedroom (i must love her)! When I first met Amy (aka aimee, ami, however she chooses to spell it this week, ha, ha!), I was doing therapy on her foster son Coty.
They lived in Copper Creek and we were just building our home out here. I remember Ryan saying how cool that would be to move in and already have a friend there, I remember replying that I think we could be good friends with Dave (Amy's other half), but I was pretty sure Amy did not like me!! So funny to think about now! We have been through a lot together and I treasure our friendship!

I remember one experience 6 years ago, I was pregnant with Gracie and Ryan was self employed. Amy got on this frozen dinner kick and was trying several recipes a week, she kept sending down dinner for us to "try"! She was an answer to prayer, Ry had not collected a paycheck for several months, things were really tight and we didn't have money for groceries! Literally, I think she fed us for 3 weeks!! Then after the baby was born she fed us again and ended up purchasing the majority of Gracie's wardrobe (Oh and she has GREAT taste)!

I could post a novel about the many kind and generous things she and dave have done for us and it still would not do them justice! I love you Amy, happy belated b-day!

Ok so I have some VERY CUTE 7 for all mankind jeans that I just posted on KSL. I thought i would post it here in case anyone is interested. They are not new but in excellent condition. They do fit all the authenticity requirements as outlined on ebay. They are size 28. Pink stitching on all pockets and rhinestones/jewels around pockets, very cute !!! I am asking $60. Let me know if you are interested! (I'll post a picture as soon as I get my camera back!)

I have so much to catch up on I'm not sure where to start! The most important event of this past month was the celebration of Gracie and Hallee's birthdays! I have been waiting to post my message to them until I was able to post their b-day pics, so hopefully I'll have those up by the end of the week!

The overnighter was "Fabulous"! The bed and breakfast was delightful, Ryan thought it was funny that I took pics of our room and our breakfast, but what can I say I have to take enough pics to make up for the last 1400+ photos I lost!! We cannot say thank you enough to my "Fabulous" friends!!


Ryan and I heading off for our little retreat!!


Breakfast was delivered to our room at our designated time, yummy!


This is the Parrish Bed and Breakfast, we just received an email stating that they will be featured on House Hunters on HGTV 12/19-21, I'll have to check it out! They were a darling young couple (she was from Sweden adn tipped us off to some yummy sparkling apple cider sold at non other than my heart-be-still, IKEA)! I'm definitely picking some up for Christmas Eve!

Last week I had a fun little get together with some girlfriends. We came here, each of us brought yummy food (I'll post 2 of the recipes below)and then worked on addressing our Christmas Cards, I do not have mine done (because I can't make up my mind - yikes!) so I finished up some of my neighbor gifts. I was pleased with how they turned out, however I bought the 10% bonus size and so my wraps didn't fit quite as well, oh well!!


(post note, it is now a week later before I finally post this entry, the breakfast was fabulous! Jaimie hosted in her beautiful new home, she is kind and gracious, always assuming the best of others - she's a doll! Anyway, we did our gratitude items, I cried as always (really I'm such a boob it's embarrassing), it was a wonderful morning (I did get a ticket on the way up for an expired registration - yikes!). A full and fun week! I am so blessed!

Check us out!!!
