File: Suitcases

So, we've been traveling a lot. Last Friday, we flew to Florida for an extended weekend, celebrating my parents' 30th wedding anniversary. It was a blast.

Tomorrow, we're headed to Cincy for Matt's dad's 60th birthday party. We're packing a lot into the day. We're driving down, helping Heather with the decorations, having dinner, then going to see Nolan in a football game in a real stadium. (Wow!) Then, we're driving to Columbus to stay at Dave and Karen's (they're so good to us and don't mind us strolling in around midnight).

We'll leave mid-morning to spend time with Nanny and Papa (and the rest of the clan). Papa is currently in the hospital. I hope he gets out by the weekend.

On a lighter note, Julie had this fun quiz on her blog: what color are you? It turns out that I'm deep sky blue, a color I had not previously identified with myself. Here are my results:
"Your dominant hues are cyan and blue. You like people and enjoy making friends. You're conservative and like to make sure things make sense before you step into them, especially in relationships. You are curious but respected for your opinions by people who you sometimes wouldn't even suspect.

Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right.

Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation."

It's been one of those crazy weeks, packed full of things that make the heart beat faster.

File: Moldings!

Another of Matt's cool home improvement tricks. He cut, installed, and painted the moldings. Thanks to Pop Larsen for the design.
