Hello Friends,

I have to admit one of the reasons I am so bad about posting is because I don't pull out my computer often enough.  Since I have graduated I pretty much always use my IPad. I have my computer out so I can finish writing the Thank you notes that I typed up a few days after graduation but am only now actually getting them hand written on the postcards that I made. Hope they will all go out tomorrow. Anyway, I started writing a post last week that hopefully will post this week. It has been a week since school would have started. My nights of no homework have been oh so Lovely. I don't really know what to talk about. I have been working over time at work on some drawings for this Amazing project that I am so lucky to have the opportunity to work on. It's called MONC for short. It is a museum. I have loved every minute I have spent working on getting drawings ready for Bid. The end of last week things slowed down. I am now working on a LEED education board for a different project. Anyway, I couldn't be happier.

Weekend Recap,

I want to make sure that I document this past weekend. I went to my coworkers baby shower. It was so fun. She is the cutest little pregnant lady. I am so excited for her.

Things I loved about the baby shower.

1. It was outside in her beautiful backyard and super chill.
2. It was co ed, Dugan didn't go with me but I really hope that i have a coed shower someday (if you took that wrong get your mind out of the gutter : ) )
3. It was all their friends. I love that it wasn't just work people or life people or whatever type of people you have. It was all of them together at one party to celebrate. I met some really fun and great people.
4. AMAZING food. Some of it was made by very talented women and some of it was Catered. All super yummy
5. I would say the wine, but since I have never had a sip of alcohol in my life the wine didn't really do me any good.
6. Watching her open her sweet presents. It is so fun to see the tiny cloths, the beautiful blankets and to know that there are some wonderful contemporary/modern things out there for babies.
7. Watching her open a gift from the old school of arch dean. It was a black turtleneck onesie. (Sorry if you aren't in the architecture world you may not get this)
8. Seeing a house that is more minimalist then my own.
9.  Seeing some of my professors from school.
10. Celebrating such a wonderful time with such an awesome women. Having her like the gift I gave her. I got her swaddle blankets from Pottery Barn Kids, Binkies, a chocolate bar for her to take to the hospital with her, and a pink baby onesie that said, "My mommy's an Architect"

After the shower I headed to a ballet workshop. It wasn't what I had expected but dancing for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon is always fun.

Headed home to be with my hubby and make mango chutney chicken with jasmine rice before go to get ice cream with our friends Matt and Amanda and their super cute boys.

Sunday was nice but came and went much to fast.
