Water Taxi

I love taking the boat home, especially on a sunny Friday afternoon! Kenzie and i try to do this as much as possible and will miss it when we move! Of course then we will be learning about that light rail coming to MLK though! That'll be fun too!

Watching the boats!

In progress. . .

Wedding planning is no joke. . .looking forward to going out to dinner with some new been there done that friends. . .

Playing with Loki

Today we spent time at the place where Geoff and I will be getting married in seven short weeks. . Kenzie loves both throwing the ball as she is doing in this picture, or letting G throw it into the water and watching Loki swim out to get it.

Dunn Bro's

I was missing my french press morning routine and was pleasantly surprised when i say this.

Hope

I was happy to see this. . .good to know he's got some support out here. It made that long long walk back from the Triple Rock to the Depot much easier.

Saw this on wednesday night when we were on our way to bacon night at Triple Rock

Refreshing

I love to look at my blog and see pictures again...it was so upsetting for my phone (camera) to be broken for so long, I'm glad it's back, (I love you phone!). I'm very happy today because I'm marrying someone who is a great father figure and who I will be proud to have kids with someday, and Father's Day is very meaningful today for that reason.

"Real" dads...are really great people who love, guide and care for their kids & family, (doesn't have much to do with donating sperm). I'll never forget for instance when I was 17...and I got CAUGHT. I was staying with family that was a little more distant in relation, but who I consider to be some of the closest family I have...and I lied. I told house 1 I'd be at house 2, house 2 I'd be at house 3, and house 3 I'd be at house 1...I thought I was being brilliant! Silly me...they communicated and were pretty quick to figure out what happened, and that I spent the night at some guys place. Instead of yelling at me or just sending me back to my parents...the father figure dealing with the situation pulled me aside so we could take a 'walk'. This was a new foreign concept to me, and a little scary! I didn't know if he was going to slap me, yell at me, or what. He sat me down at a little bench by some water, (pond? river? don't remember...), and he talked to me like a human being. He explained to me what my actions did to the family, he explained why it wasn't okay, what the consequences would be...and he talked about having more respect for myself. I'll never forget this exposure I had to this kind of parenting and I will always refer back to this/you as an example of the way that things should be.

To all the dad's that take the time to be a real part of their children's lives and to guide, advise and love them throughout their lives...Thank you. You are making society a better place than it was.

Sunny day. . .

Such a seattle girl in her pretty dress and rainboots. . .

Tornadoes

I like the sign in Kansas City better that the one in Denver for tornado safe spots :-)

Made it!

About to crash in bed. . .just got checked in and in my room. . .it is 345am.

At least. .

They are giving us water. . Even if it was only about half a glass. I've been reading a wedding mag and am missing my loves Kenzie and Geoff. . . I will be back late tomorrow night though, assuming i make it to KC tonight. Then minneapolis next week!

Delays in Denver

I saw this sign outside the ladies room at the Denver airport while i was looking for unique things to take pictures of. Right now I am on a plane that is having technical issues worked on. . .while we are all sitting on the plane. Delays delays. .

Fiance

He's pricing out the cost of fixing up his house to make it safe for us to move in as soon as we can after the wedding. . . I love you Geoff!
