Who's next???

Who will be next to get married? Who will be the first to first to have kids? What will our next milestones be? I went home to NH the other weekend for Sabe and Tom's wedding. It was a solo weekend. So this is Adventures of Erin! Another close friend gets married. Another amazingly creative and beautiful wedding. I love how my friends and I seem to have been able to have some of the most beautiful, unique, traditional, non-traditional, and fun weddings that I have ever been to. I wonder what will be next.

It was my first time back in NH in the fall since I left in Sept. of '97. Nine years ago! The weekend was a perfect fall weekend. Bright blue skies, cold crisp air, warm days, brilliant colors, and good times. I felt more homesick for NH than I have for a very long time. And yet, I love where I live now. I felt the struggle with loving where you came from and loving where you have gone. I think I love the memories from home and I know that living in NH wouldn't bring back those memories. Memories of family and friends and fun times. My 10 year high school reunion is this spring. I think that Sabe and I will make the treks from the NW to NH to reminisce our high school glory days. Think of what we have done in the 10 years since. Adam and I just had our 9 year (dating) anniversary yesterday. Nine years I have lived out here. Crazy...anyways... I have some pictures from Sabe and Tom's wedding. Enjoy!

Don't they look dashing in their rehearsal dinner wear! And boy was it cold!

We spent a very cold night getting our beauty sleep in a cabin on some back road in Weare. Good question!

Sabe looked so gorgeous in her grandmother's 1950's ball gown! A blushing bride in RED!!!

The fall colors, red dress, green grass, and blue skies were such amazing combinations.

Don't my parents look cute! Dad I love the hat!

Our beautiful mothers! Wow!

Mother and daughter. An important day for both of them!

As I said in my toast, I feel responsible for Sabe and Tom getting back together for the final time. Sabe did move out to Bellingham to live with me and Tom just happened to live in Seattle :-)

What a view from the dance floor!

My dad and placed 3rd in a crazy game of croquet. Adam would have been proud!

High school buddies!

Check out those boots!

And last but not least the grade A tree in Andover. Pretty Amazing!

How can you resist that face?

Ahhh Brindzi...How can you resist that face? Yep. Life with Brindzi is good. She is adapting to our world quite well. We have taken her all kinds of places around Bham. And have been trying to introduce her to as many people and situations as we can. Little children seem quite drawn to her. They hang on her, pull her ears, give her hugs, and she happily obliges. Our friend recently asked if we thought people came up to her and asked to pet her more than other dogs. As a proud new parent, of course I wanted to say "yes!" because she is so beautiful and wonderful but I really didn't know. I have never owned a dog so I am not sure how many people come up and pet people with Dogs... I know they like puppies but she is almost out of her puppy phase. I like to think that Adam and I are just really good dog parents and picked the perfect , cutest , most well behaved dog out there...But who really knows.

Here are some pics of our new family member. I still think we took more of Gryffin when we got him but we didn't have a website back then to share with all...We just tortured friends and family with our Gryffin album. Adam says, I just tortured them :-)

Adam is almost ready to admit that he loves her...I think the just doesn't want to admit it. What do you think?

Brindzi love to play fetch...She just doesn't like to bring it back all the time or gets bored and we are left hanging.

Yum! Brindzi kisses...Even Adam isn't as adverse them now!

Lean and Tall. She has some really interesting coloring around her shoulders and rear area. Who knows where it came from... But people say its quite striking.
