trip to the big city

Phil & I made the long journey to Boston yesterday. And then kept going. We went through the infamous "Big Dig" and over the really awesome bridge there (that I didn't manage to get a picture of :o( ) And on the other side we saw this sight ::



Very cool to see a giant windmill in the middle of a city.


Our final destination was Stoughton, Mass, home to Ikea!



I just love that place! We went with the hopes of finding the rest of our wedding decorations. And boy were we successful. We only have a few more items to get and we are done! YAY!

After waiting in traffic for a few minutets, we realized that we weren't going to find any parking where we were headed. So to roof we went. There was a ton of parking up there, but Phil chose this of all spots. Very funny, dear.... How about we wait until AFTER the wedding ??

our little tv watcher

Phil & I typically watch one of two channels when we watch tv: the history channel and the discovery channel. tonight's choice was discovery. they were showing part of a series that shows what happens after humans. In the pictures above, you can see boz watching tv with daddy. they are both very hard to distract when this happens. below, though, you'll see what happens when an animal of any kind comes on... I hope you get as big a kick out of it as we do.

Yesterday was the first day spent entirely at home in months! There was a lot of sewing, laundry, and invitation making happening. The pattern for the shirt comes from Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross. I am totally loving this book right now! You can see, as usual, how helpful Boz was. I couldn't seem to get a picture of my new shirt without him in it.

The invitations are the second round. We got half of them printed and our computer crashed. I've been trying for two weeks to get the old ones back but with no luck. So I finally had to go ahead and redo each page. The majority are ready to send out today. The rest will go out tomorrow. So, if you know an invite is on its way but you haven't seen it yet ... no worries. It's coming!

I also found the time yesterday to go on a nice long walk. It was absolutely beautiful out! Today it's back to nothing but rain ... makes for a good excuse to spend another wonderful day at home doesn't it? I'm sure the day will be filled with more sewing and invitations. And maybe some housework and cooking, too ?...
