planes, trains and automobiles

the main reason i detoured to kc was so i could work at my ex-job. i worked there full-time for two weeks training the new hire. it was great! not to boast, but i'm good at what i do did, i'm needed and appreciated. so i'll take it! but i didn't take a picture of the office *should have* so let's move on to things i do have pictures of!
homemade caramel apples with bev and aaron!

we met b & a when we were living in our loft in the river market. one of the first things i remember bev saying was, "i never wear shorter than a four-inch heel!" and it hurt my feet just hearing it. but she always looked smashing!

but then they got charlie who chewed all her heels.

so now she cooks!

natalie was in a food coma after all that yummy goodness.

back at the in-laws, natalie said she was pregnant.

i sure married into a fantastic family!
i don't know if this is the appropriate place to record this but natalie told nana her skin was wiggly.

this is natalie taking our picture:

natty and 90 year-old-granny

natty and 90 year-old-sammy (seriously he's like 17 or something crazy)

nat and evie. her kc bestie

FINALLY i am reunited with my hottie hubby for a date night!

five weeks is too gol dang long!

oysters at mccormick and schmick's!

we only ordered six but the executive chef hooked it up and we got the full platter - thanks nathan!

then the main course at capital grille - no offense, nathan!

and then all together, as a family of four (tinsley!), we drove back to minneapolis.
thus ending my days as a vagabond...
