Fishing and Sewing

California was great! I got to run along the beach, watch some awesome surfers and just relax while I read the next book in my favorite series, INFERNO by Dan Brown. The main character Robert Langdon never ceases to amaze me. I love how he thinks and puts all of the pieces of the puzzle together to solve the mystery. I also love reading about the art and history of Italy and other places in Europe. Stephen gave it to me for my birthday and I loved it! While we were in Cali we had really great pizza and some interesting Korean food (not really the high light of the trip for me, but Stephen seemed to like it) and we went deep sea fishing. No, I didn't catch anything grand, but it was still fun to catch some little Bass and a red poisonous fish (yeah, I don't know its real name). The boat crew were very helpful about getting snags out and helping  get the fish off the hook, especially the poisonous one! Stephen caught 7 and I caught 5. It was a blast!

We also found out that we will be staying on Colorado! I was ready to move back East, but I'm so grateful we get to stay by the beautiful mountains and be close to family. I'm also very grateful that I won't have to live in humidity. Even when we were in Cali my hair was frizzy and puffy the whole time. We don't know what town we will be living in yet, but we are very excited for Stephen to get his territory and not have to travel as much.
Finally, I finished my little sewing project that I, yes, copied from something I saw on Pinterest. I thought it was so dang cute that I just had to make one for us.

Love Birds!! I thought the fabric suited us well too. Stephen recently bought an orange dress shirt to wear to work. I didn't like it at first and made fun of him. But he wore it home one Friday and when I saw him in the Airport he looked quite dashing after all. So I decided to get orange for Stephen's bird and flowers for mine. This will always remind me of our wedding day and how we really are silly love birds :)
