2nd half of Summer

August flew by! We had playdates, trips to the beach, parks with friends, visit to my grandparents cabin in Cle Elum, visit to the West Side to hang out with family, and lots of packing in between. We sold our house and will be moving right about the same time that school starts (not stressful at all starting the school year and packing up and moving to a house that needs updated with a 3 and 1 year old). We are so excited to move to our new home. Will post pictures of the new house soon.  Here are a few pictures over the month of August.

Reese loved sitting on this chair while we walked in our old neighborhood

My Sweet Sweet Friend

On September 3, 2015 I received a text and a phone call letting me know that my dear friend Karen had passed away. She had a rough 6 weeks fighting an infection and her body was just not strong enough to fight any longer.

I will be forever grateful for you Karen. You were always the life of the party and encouraged me to love me and not be so concerned with my body image =). I loved you for that. We had many late night text chats, date nights after closing at starbucks, sushi dates, being your eye at school for you to watch out for Matty, guy talk, and just crazy girl nights with lots of laughs. I miss you like crazy and have so many time picked up my phone to text ya and realize you would not be there to respond. Instead I just talk to you while I am driving, getting ready, or whenever I just want to say hi.

I am so happy that your body is out of pain and you are in a much better place, until we meet again sweet friend. God Bless!
