In my life...
"There are places I remember. All my life though some have changed. Some forever not for better. Some have gone and some remain."
My blog is a place for me to document the things "in my life". I love writing, dancing, music, the Beatles, everything about the 90's, old school rap, paper, crafts, day planners, girlfriends, the Cougs, Marcus Trufant, shopping, Euro travel, Barcelona, budgeting, healthy living, and rose wine (among other things). I want to highlight the delicate balance between being a domestic B-ham wife and a jet-setting fashionista - all at the same time!

Even though I won’t be attending a game this year until November and the Cougs are not looking too promising, I can’t help getting excited for football season and all the fun memories. Go Cougs!
Big Sare turns 30!
I have a habit of going all out for my b-day parties and turning 30 was no exception. This year we hired Fiamma di Mamma to cater with their mobile wood fired pizza operation. To accomodate for their big set up, the boys simple tore down a few fence panels and we were in business!
We also had JOAT make some delicious cupcakes and had a 3 piece Beatles cover band - all in our backyard! The weather turned out perfect and almost all of my friends were able to make the trip. Enjoy some photo and video documentation of the event!
The live music was a huge addition to the party and everyone was shocked at how good this young band was. I discovered them downtown and found out at the party that they are only 17! The Fanatics are seriously talented and they sing Beatles music!!
The first person to wish me a happy b-day online was Butch T. Cougar! Yeah!
Crab, Boating and Bridges in LaConner
We were invited to a friends cabin for the weekend but could only go for a few hours since my birthday party fell during the same time. This cabin (beach house) is right on the water near LaConner. We sipped on coronas, ate tons of fresh crab and took a boat ride under the Deception Pass bridge. A great way to kick off the weekend!
And just like that…August is half over!
I love August for many reasons. This is the best chance all year for great weather. My swimsuit drawer actually sees some action and of course, I get to celebrate my birthday!
This August, I am especially excited about visits from 2 out of state friends, visiting from New York and Cleveland and hosting a backyard blow-out in honor of my 30th!
A perfect summer evening - August 13
If you are a girl who loves the Beatles, outdoor music, and hot summer nights, then you also would have had a perfect summer evening with me. My favorite Beatles cover band, Creme Tangerine made it all the way to Anacortes this summer. Last summer, they traveled to Arlington. I put these concerts close to home on my calendar months in advance!
(I have this poster of the boys hanging in my office…)
Look at all the fun we had!
Upcoming winter travel
Alaska Airlines just announced round trip, direct flights from Bellingham to Honolulu (aka where 2 of our friends just moved). They also put the first flights on special for $149 each way staring in January.
What else was there to do besides book a trip? We are traveling with the Koehlers and Stroyans and visiting Trevor and Alison of course. This will be my first trip to Hawaii and I can’t wait!
Plus, Alison got us a killer deal at her new hotel, Edition, which hasn’t even opened yet. It is exclusive, expensive and caters towards celebs so of course, I LOVE IT!
Yeah for winter vacation!!
