Some flickr favorites to start the summer. Green grass, flowers, sunny skies, soft winds, picnics, late dusk, laziness, water and carnivals.

Dave and I are going to work on a vinyl wall design for Marly and Erich’s baby-to-be so I’ve been looking for inspiration (also getting inspired for things for our own walls).

This is a delayed post, but last weekend we took our first (mini) road trip with Indie. Marly joined us too and we cruised up to check out Dave’s show in Virginia. Unfortunately, I missed the opening reception because it was only a week after Indira was born but I’m so glad I finally got to see the show in person. Wow. It was amazing! I was really blown away. Dave’s art has evolved so much and this show was just so impressive and cohesive and beautiful and captivating. I was so proud when he sent me a photo as he was working on it and seeing it in person really did blow me away. I wish I had more time to just sit and enjoy it but lately there’s no extra “sitting and enjoying” time. There will be again one day though.

Okay, so I’m actually pretty anti-gun, but that is totally beside the point. Oh, and no, my kids cannot play with guns. Wait, missing the point again, and I don’t have kids. Well, I have one – is it actually a kid yet or is it still considered a fetus until it’s out of the womb and breathing? That’s probably a question for science and religion to duke out. I digress. I did wake up about ten minutes ago from a very long and deep sleep nap (okay, kids, I drooled! I don’t drool!) so that’s my excuse. And wait, why wasn’t I taking naps throughout the whole pregnancy?! I thought I disliked them but that felt absolutely incredible.

Back to my point. I have been given a happy award (thanks, Candice!) by someone who I grew up with and went to slumber parties with and embraced the wonderful 80s with! We went our separate ways at some point during the tumultuous period of junior high (my guess? is that right?) and completely lost touch years and years ago. This makes it that much cooler that in the past few months we have reconnected as adults (as two adult women who are both about to making the life-altering shift to motherhood).

The rule after receiving this award is to list 10 things that make you happy and pass the award to 10 other people. Hmmmm. I may only award one or two. We’ll see.

1. First day of spring weather (short sleeves, sun, windows open)
2. Spending a full day with Dave with no distractions (yes, these will be few and far between in a few days)
3. Finishing a project and actually loving it
4. Anticipating time as our new family of three
5. Chilling with Darwin, the wonder dog (yes, I’m biased)
6. Waking up to the sound of crickets on hot, sultry summer days where the only thing on the agenda is lazing
7. Cold beer and a plate of fries after a long, hard hike
8. Girls nights with ice cold martinis and great conversation
9. Reading a great book, the kind that you can’t put down, the kind that you stay up reading until 1am even though you have to work in the morning
10. Summer days and nights complete with grilling and time outside – porch time makes it perfect

I could keep going, but I’m stopping at 10 because I love following the rules (okay, no, not really). And I’m passing this on to Kerilyn.

Night out.
Did you have a night out with friends or a loved one that rocked your world? Who was there? What was the highlight of the night?

Wow, so I am completely stuck on this one. I know I had fun nights out (and nights in) but for some reason they are completely escaping me and time flies so I may be confusing 2008 with 2009. Will return to this one… Sorry, folks.

This has been a Best of 2009 Blog Challenge moment.
