congratulations!

So my brother,Josh, who I tend to like very much, usually, when he's not throwing things at me, like green beans and such, got engaged on Saturday. Stacy , his fiance (that's fun to write) we love and treat her as a member of this messed up family. (yes. she occasionally gets food thrown at her too--it's a rite of passage) The proposal was perfect and very Josh like. I was proud of him.

So congrats Josh & Stace, looking forward to the big day!
and lots of fun between now & the big day!

at Red Rock in Colorado. nice little Photo-op.

Hanging out in Colorado, aren't they a cute couple? I hate them for it. you should join me....

*this is Stace showing her enthusiasm for their new PS3. she was excited to loose him to the basement to yet another gaming system...oh, wait that is a grimace, maybe not excited???

Westin's new love

hello again...

I know I kinda fell off the face of the earth this summer. You 3 readers of mine, rest assured...I am here, and I am alive.

I am going to try to change the way I think about blogging. I've been thinking that I can only blog when I have something big or exciting to say. I am going to try to do more random, everyday blogging. and maybe get some bigger thoughts out there. we'll see. I'm not generally one to share deep big feelings, but we'll see.

So...here's to a new leaf, new school year, new me????

Isn't it ironic??

Last night at appoximately 1 am (that's 2am compliments of daylight saving. dangit!) I was laying in my king size bed alone (obviously) reading.....wait for it....

How to Sleep Alone in a King-Size Bed.

rest assured the irony was not lost on me.

happy face

I think Westin took this picture. She must have told a good joke before she snapped it.
