I'm in need of some new inspiration. I love looking at unique blogs and finding a whole new world of design, fashion, and creativity. I love looking at places like here, here, and here but I am looking to expand the horizon. Where do you find really unique ideas? Where do you find your creativity and inspiration? Don't be shy now...

goodbyes

I haven't blogged in a little while because there hasn't been too much going on other than a few random things. I should have blogged about saying goodbye to some of our best friends, the Millers and Wilsons, but I'm still bitter about them leaving. On Saturday we helped the Millers move and then saw The Time Traveler's Wife. The movie is sad from start to finish and then right after we watched them drive away in their moving van. Bad idea.We also saw Julie & Julia this weekend. Amy Adams and Meryl Streep were so good in the movie and I couldn't picture anyone else playing the part. We liked it but we had really high expectations, and I thought it was going to be better than it was.Matt finished his summer semester last week and now he only has TWO more semesters until he's done! I think they should give him a hard hat when he's done since he's graduating in Construction Management. They give doctors and dentists white coats when they graduate...just a thought. Next week we are jetting off to vacation destination, Muncie, IN where my parents now live. We'll spend a few days with them and then go see the Wheelers in NYC who also abandoned us last year. Can you tell we're still bitter towards those who have left us? :)

This past weekend Matt and I had a lot of family come to town. One of my sisters came in to town for a family reunion on her in-law side and stayed with us for a few days before the reunion. All her two boys wanted to do was to wrestle with Uncle Matt, watch Home Alone, and go to a pool. So that's just what we did. Talmage's new thing is to make funny faces whenever a camera is brought out. I love it.
On Sunday we went to see my Grandma at her house and play with the boys for a bit. When we got there Talmage (age 4) ran up to my Grandma and gave her a big hug but then backed away with a confused look on his face and asked, "Um, hey, didn't you die like 4 years ago?" In the meantime Hunter (age 3) strokes her hand and looks up at her and asks, "You're dead?" Luckily, she didn't hear but that has become one of our new favorite phrases!

Thanks Jill and the boys for coming to see us! We can't wait to see you soon!
