5 years and counting…

The Loft. Day 1.

Yep. Today marks our 5th anniversary! It has really gone by so quickly, and it’s been packed with tons of moving, crazy adventures and wonderful memories. I can’t wait to look back on the next 5 years. What did I do to celebrate you ask? I had some chocolate yogurt from pinkberry, and Skyped with my husband. Yep, that’s right, folks. We aren’t even together today. Boo! He’s off being a manly man for the Coast Guard right now up in Alaska. Talk about long distance! Could we be any farther apart? Sheesh! That said, we’ll be celebrating together this weekend. For now, life goes on as usual. Just Bonsai and me. We’re buddies like that.

I love you, Dustin. So happy we get to share in one another’s lives. It’s been real.

We have a home.

loft

We got the keys today for our very first loft! So exciting. Can’t wait to move our stuff in tomorrow, and share more photos with you of the space. The 38 foot wall of floor to ceiling windows is by far my favorite feature!

For now, we’re adjusting to life on the West Coast with much ease and happiness. Seriously, what’s not to like about this perfect San Diego weather? Not to mention having In-N-Out at our fingertips!

I have so much more I want to share with you, but we have a very loooooong day tomorrow. It’s bedtime. Nighty nite.

Be Back Soon!

Have a great week, and don’t forget to change your clocks this weekend!

Wildcard Wednesday :: Bonsai

Bonsai

Yes, I love my dog child. I am so happy he’s part of our lives. He makes me smile every day. Especially, when he tears off running in circles around the house… just like he is doing right now! Love him! And you should too!

These photos were taken in the bathtub… after a romping in the Hawaiian red, nasty mud. Too cute! Two of my all-time favorite pictures of him.

Bonsai’s Booties

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Our dog, Bonsai, enjoys the snow. However, with two blizzards in less than a week we’ve taken precautions to keep this little guy warm and safe. As you’ll see, he is not too thrilled to wear his booties. This morning he saw me grab his booties, and as I’m walking towards him he just flopped down and rolled over onto his back in submission. Silly Bonsai, don’t you know it’s for your own good? Hope you enjoy! **Don’t forget to watch the video!

Ready for Snow!

Wildcard Wednesday :: Snowmageddon 2010

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Maybe this post should be “Whiteout Wednesday” instead! I’m sure no matter where you live you’ve heard about our Snowstorms here in the D.C./Baltimore area. It’s almost unbelievable how much it has been snowing here since Friday afternoon. The roads and sidewalks were cleared just in time for this new blizzard today. As much as it disrupts the flow of day to day life, I wouldn’t change it! It’s so beautiful. Really, just lovely. These photos are from this past weekend where we accumulated around 26 inches of snow where we live. Photos start from Friday evening.

So far today, we have new snow of about 8-10 inches, and it won’t stop until this evening! Complete whiteout at times with wind gusts at 30-40+ mph. Amazing!

Apologies

Friday, February 5th, 2010

It seems my website was hacked. With the help of some of our friends and my super awesome husband, it looks as though the problem has been fixed. My apologies to anyone who tried to visit SewTrashy.com recently, and had difficulties. Hope no one  had any adverse experiences throughout the process. Thanks!

Trying something new…

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Starting January 18th I will be trying something new with SewTrashy. To keep my posts a bit more focused, I have decided to dedicate each day of the week to a different subject. Here’s the new format. What do you think?

Make it Mondays
Trashy Tuesdays
Where We Live Wednesdays
Thrifty Thursdays
Foodie Fridays

Hope you’ll tune in each day to see what’s in store!

Happy {long} Weekend!

2nd Annual Girls Trip to NYC, originally uploaded by sewtrashy.

This photo is from a street in New York City. I don’t recall the street, but I found it interesting. It has nothing to do with this post however.

Last night we arrived safely in El Paso, TX. We are here visiting my husband’s family and celebrating his Mom’s birthday. We are on our way to The Sushi Place to get their Mexican Roll which is quite tasty. (I’ll try to get a pic!)

While here we are going to try to make it out to Carlsbad Caverns. I’ve never been there, but I think it will be exciting!

Time for lunch. Have a great weekend!

Piggy- Rear view RSPCA Cupcake day, originally uploaded by Sugar Pot.

How adorable are these little Piggy bottoms from Sugar Pot? Way too cute. I’m sure it was quite a bit of work as well. I’d say it was worth it!!
