camera dump

a dump of pictures from my camera and phone, what blogs are for right?
Dallas was the spacation that we needed! All we did was sleep, eat, spa, eat, spa, sleep!
St. Patricks - friends, river, lunch at David Burkes, Elaines house, Wrigleyville, Lincoln Park, taking care of Robyn, cabs, cabs
apparently religion has everything to do with how well you do in poker!
someday Erika is going to be famous!
our new road trip guilty pleasure, Cracker Barrel!
Oskie is keeping it real, he got a major haircut this weekend and now actually looks like a westie and not a wolf!

so far so good


People universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck or something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather. That's not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it.
(Elizabeth Gilbert)

-one of my 2009 feelin' fine motto's

final answer..


We thought a lot about Arizona, we thought about Colorado (sorry Amy), we thought a little about Austin, Texas; and we always said well if we don't like where we move we can always move to Utah. We have reservations about moving back to Zion, but we have been talking about it for a week now and it just feels right. We have talked to the court and the bank about our landlord foreclosing and we should be able to stay in our condo until our lease is up June 30th. Ironically, being able to choose where ever you want to live is very stressful. Reminds me of the book Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely.

*now I need to start working on getting a Trader Joes in UT! I will not be ok without their gluten free goodness and I will not seem like such a good wife without their cheater dinners! Caitlin are you with me?

chi-vegas

We have been going through the Zagat resturaunt guide with David and Elaine trying a new place every Friday and Saturday...I need to be better at taking pictures.

Last Friday we ventured to Chicago's own Vegas, Alhambra Palace with David and Elaine and some other couples. Zagat gave it a 13 so we didn't have the greatest expectations, we went for the experience, it was ok, we give it about a 17, and a 15 for the genuine blonde belly dancers!

Afterwards, we went to the terrace of the Dana Hotel, unfortunately no VH1 reality TV shows were taping there that night.
