The Perfect Sunday


Today was the perfect Sunday.
I:
-took a sleeping pill last night and slept in until 9:45a. New record.
-watched last weeks episode of Glee with Sten while drinking our morning coffee out of our favorite mugs.
-started my "Sunday Lunch" which included Carmelized onion, pear and goat cheese focaccia, simple green salad and 3 cheese stuffed shells.
-started a blog!

I have been very inspired lately by a few bloggers. I am obsessed with "Pioneer Woman" and have been making a lot of her recipes and oooing and ahhing over her photography. I have also been following a co-workers wife's blog http://alwaysseekingbalance.blogspot.com/ Sue is always positive and whenever I read her blog I hope to enjoy my time with family as much as she does.

I was totally in my element today and the whole time I was just thinking, 'this is the perfect day, I don't want it to end!' Sten was in the living room watching the Daytona 500 and every now and again would pop in the kitchen and give me a kiss and tell me how great it smelled in our little apartment (I love him for that). I love cooking for him and I love being his wife. I love lazy Sunday's and I hope our life continues to center around our zest for God, each other, good conversation, new food and red wine.

Dan and Pam +

 One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go.  This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time.  Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom!  Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂  Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha  The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop.  Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...

Wolfpack.

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04.  Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another.  Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals.     Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂  As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing.  Memories upon memories with this crew.  xo. edc.

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today.  My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there.  Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...
