Ahh, I jinxed it! 101 degrees yesterday, just to spite me!

But today, today is Saturday and that means rummage sales and blueberries at the Farmers Market. (And when we get home, we’re making Strawberry-Blueberry waffles. Yummmm)

And todays weather forcast is much nicer than yesterday,

Cloudy 63 Degrees.

I can do that.

So there are alot to choose from so I will just pick a few of my favorites:

So I haven’t been the most exciting blogger as of late, and for that I am sorry. Let’s face it, I’ve never been a good blogger. (I initially wrote that as ‘blooger’ and almost left it because it looks so funny) anyhow, but just a quick update, we’ve just been settling in to the house, getting more things hung up around the apartment, many trips to Bed, Bath and Beyond, spending ridiculous amounts of money at the supermarket (yikes.), getting caught in rainstorms in the country, and just generally having a great time.

Settling into my new job…ish. We’re still on the fence, but for now it’s alright. I’m not entirely sure that it is the place for me right now, it’s a little high stress and my stomach ulcers have decided to resurface (and I just don’t dig that) so we will see, but for now I am just excited about going home next weekend and FAMILY REUNION! (You’re all jealous, I know. Except.. I think that 3/4 of the people reading this blog will be there anyway. Oh well.) Can’t miss that orthodontis appointment on Monday morning, either.

Paul has been taking me on drives around the Palouse, seeing some of the sights. There are so many cool farms around this area! All the pictures in this post were from our excursion on Saturday to Uniontown and Colton, about 30 minutes away. We had lunch in a little corner saloon and shopped at some antique stores.

In love that in Uniontown the Fire Station, Library and Townhall are all in one building!

If anyone is interested in seeing wedding pictures, they are located here, for your viewing pleasure.

Hello everyone! Sorry I’ve been silent, but you know, I did have an excuse. Also, we don’t have internet at home yet, so that’s my other excuse, other than just being married.

So things are getting set up nicely! We’re almost all the way unpacked and things are shaping up great. In other news….

I BOUGHT A GUITAR! I am so super excited about it and it’s sooo pretty. It’s a 3/4 size, so it fits my tiny hands just perfectly. I can already play a few chords, but my husband is doing a great job of teaching me all his tricks.

As soon as we get the internet hooked up at home (hopefully that’ll happen on Monday) I’ll post some pictures of the apartment, honeymoon and guitar.

With love from Moscow,
Ali

So this is one of the 5 (or is it six?!) blankets I’m working on at the moment. I just get bored with one, so I put it down, but then find another idea that I’m afraid I’ll forget about so I need to start it immediately. Then you end up with baskets full of unfinished crafts… sad, indeed.

It still hasn’t been pieced together (obviously), but I think it’ll be cute once I put a border on it, I was thinking a scalloped border might be fun, but this blanket is still small and I ran out of yarn… oops.

On another blanket note, Chuck’s baby blanket is coming along nicely! I am really pleased with it, and the ripple is so nice and fun to crochet. It just has a nice fluid motion to it. Definitely recommenced it for a crocheters first big project, super simple and easy to follow.

This is one of my favorite pictures that I took at the Imperial War Museum in London:
So keep knitting, ladies!

In case you didn’t get enough umbrella’s this past week…

So I am off to pack (In my awesome new orange suitcase!), enjoy the Puyallup Spring Fair, enjoying this awesome spring weather (finally!) then off to Moscow for the whole weekend!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

I was there. I am back. I will post more pictures soon.
