First Stop
March 26th, 2008 | Posted by Nichole | Category: LifeNo Comments
No pictures yet. Yesterday my parents, myself, and my brother Jonny left at 3:30 a.m. and headed out. We made it to Omaha, NE by 7:30 a.m. for my mom’s dentist appointment. (Yes, we go all the way to Omaha for a dentist). Then we hit the road heading for Denver, CO. Lot’s of driving across flat Nebraska. I didn’t have to drive at all on this trip. My dad and Jonny drove the entire way. I don’t think I will be so lucky again though. We had a picnic along the way of ham sandwiches and salad and got to Denver around 7:00pm our time 6:00pm because of the time change. It took us a little time to find the hotel we were meeting my grandparents and sisters at but found it eventually. We moved in and then headed out to find somewhere to eat. Qdoba is really good if you like Mexican food. Back to the hotel for swimming and then hitting the hay. Now it is 8:00am and we will be eating some grapefruit for breakfast and then hitting the road. I love road trips!
San Diego Here We Come
March 25th, 2008 | Posted by Nichole | Category: LifeNo Comments
We are heading to San Diego today! My brother Andrew’s marine boot camp graduation is April 4. We will be taking our time heading to San Diego making stops in Denver, the Grand Canyon, and Hoover Dam. My grandparents are coming with and we will have tons of fun on this trip. And we get to see Andrew again! The above picture is from his platoon video. We are pretty sure this is Andrew. It is hard to tell. They all look the same!
I will hopefully be able to post some pictures of our trip along the way. I have some posts set up already (Saturday Links, Quizzes) and am hoping to fill everything else in with what we are doing on this vacation. Yay for vacations!
What Color Is Your Psyche?
March 24th, 2008 | Posted by Nichole | Category: QuizzesNo Comments
 You are spiritual, intuitive, and serene. People trust you to rescue them from bad situations, and you usually come through. While you are quite enlightened, you find that your path is very lonely. When you are too violet: you can’t connect to ordinary life or ordinary people. When you don’t have enough violet: you lack wisdom and can’t learn from the past. |
Happy Easter

This button wreath looks like so much fun to make! Too bad I don’t have a pile of buttons lying around. I love the colors of this one. They are very Eastery.

This Couture Style dress pattern would make a great spring dress. Especially with some pretty flowery fabric.

This is such a great idea for a baby gift. Crochet around the edge of a fleece blanket. So neat!

Another easy baby gift would be these burp cloths. Love them!
