Sugar Lake

by Meredith

Hope you had a great 4th of July!  Sorry I don't have a great post for today - I'm on vacation at Sugar Lake (near Annandale and Maple Lake, MN).  We have a family cabin there, and it's wonderful.  Probably my favorite place on earth.  Be back next week!

Warrior Dash

by Meredith 

This past weekend I ran in the Warrior Dash for my friend Kari's bachlorette party. (She ties the knot on July 21!) I've wanted to do this the past few years and now I finally did. It's a national obstacle 5K running event that takes place in different cities across the country.   I love running, but this 5Kwas out of my comfort zone, however completely awesome.  I totally recommend it.

Edible Arrangements

A friend of ours just sent us a gift from Edible Arrangements. It was absolutely delightful and a wonderful surprise. I'll definitely go to them next time I'm looking for a gift to send a friend.

Blue Man Group

by Meredith

My mom and I saw the Blue Man Group for the first time last week.  We had been wanting to see it and wondering what to expect since we first heard about them in Las Vegas a few years ago. This is a clip of the finale - just awesome. Next time Jesse has got to come.  It was completely up his alley.

Patches

by Meredith

Last week I made one of the most klutsy mistakes I have in a long time. I thought the cap of my black permanent marker was on, and it wasn't, and made two big marks on my brand new pants.  Now they are perfect, except for two large black dots.  Solution? Patches!  I know they sound somewhat childlike, but I found this beautiful one at Michael's last weekend. I think it will be perfect and still look stylish for a 20-something year old.

Here's the patch on the pants... what do you think?
