We finished the office. FINALLY. After issues with the furniture, Stefan's dislike at first for the color on the walls, and finally getting the chairs. It's pretty much done. Now we just have to put a few more things on the walls to try and distract Stefan from the color.
I've been VERY busy with Stella & Dot (which I LOVE!) I've been doing so many little events here and there, combined with trunk shows galore! I'm having SO much fun and couldn't have asked for a better gig! I promoted to Senior Stylist in April and am hoping to promote to Star Stylist in the next couple months!
Lindsey and Bryce visited us in March... we watched the Huskies win two games in the Pac-10 tournament (WSU and U of A), went to a spring training game and enjoyed spending time with our good friends from WA!
Stefan's mom spent her 65th birthday with us the following weekend in March and we had so much fun shopping, wine tasting and exploring new places. We ate at this FABULOUS place called Cafe Monarch. It's one of those places where the owner is the chef, who is also the waiter, and also the dishwasher. It's a tiny little place in Old Town Scottsdale, no set menu, just whatever he feels like serving that day. I told him to surprise me, and just not to include any melons in my lunch because I'm allergic. The food was AMAZING!!!! And the restaurant is BYOB... so fun! We will definitely be going back again!!
Stefan got a new grill. Ever since we've been co-habitating, I think this is his 6th grill? I don't keep track any more, but I can't complain when the food is so delicious. :)
I went to Seattle the first weekend in April for some trunk shows and to visit family. I had so much fun seeing old friends and eating fabulous food. Lots and lots of seafood. Nothing like it. As my dad was going through some old boxes in their house, we found a giant box full of old notes from when I was in junior high and high school. Talk about hilarious! I found so many funny notes from my friends, I was able to share some of them at one of the trunk shows that weekend and we couldn't stop laughing. The things that were important to us back then: boys, who liked who, when we were going to get our FILM developed from the prior weekend, who was going with who to upcoming dances, and who was mad at who. SO funny.
We've got a busy summer ahead of us... hopefully this will make the hot months go by quickly and we won't even notice the 115 degree weather! Here's what the rest of the summer entails:
- Seattle next weekend for a wedding and graduation
- North Carolina for the Thorne family reunion towards the end of June
- San Francisco the first part of July for the annual Stella & Dot convention
- Montana in July to see my nieces's baby and a Stella & Dot trunk show at my cousin's boutique
- Colorado the last weekend in July for my nephew's wedding!
- Possible trip to Vegas in August
- Vegas the last weekend in September for a mini-family reunion and a wedding
