Spring Time and Fun Times in Pittsburgh

Zac and I have had an amazing week this week. I started my job and I am so optimistic about my future there at AE.
Thursday night we went to a KT Tunstall solo show in a convert music hall that was formally a church, you can imange the acoustics there were amazing. Her solo show consisted of her, her guitar or piano, and a loop machine. I am a huge fan of KT's music and she is so fun and witty everytime I see her in concert. You should remember her from her hit in 2006ish with Black Horse and Cherry Tree, but since then she has mainly stayed on the independent music scene. Here is a clip of that song from the show.

Saturday was a rainy spring day, so we ventured out to the suburbs to price shop IKEA furniture and to find some home decoration inspiration. We were able to leave with only purchasing a coke. However I was very temped to buy a small lamp and a plan for my work desk. That evening the weather cleared up, so we walked to neighborhood Mexican restaurant for some "happy food and margaritas."
Sunday we took a bike tour of the city between our new home and our new work. Spring is definitely blowing in, and I literally mean "blowing in." It was quite a windy day! But the sun was out and everything is starting to bloom. It am so exciting and I can't wait to move in and settle in here!

Over my shoulder is the AE Corporate office, notice the huge metal eagle on the side of the building.

The Weekend is Over

I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. I did, in-fact I have had a nice long weekend. A 44 day weekend to be exact. But that is coming to a close because tomorrow I start my new job. (More on that later!)

But I would rather reminisce on the fun I had this past weekend. Here are some shots from mine and Zac's day at the Pittsburgh Pirates ball game.


The view of the field and the city from our seats.

A hot day calls for a cool treat. :)

I hope everyone has a great week!

Final Weant Wedding

With in 10 months and 4 days my brother, sister and I were all wed.
I know, I know, my poor parents.

This past weekend my sister married the love of her life, David. It was at our home church and the reception was held at a nearby park. The weather was warm and beautiful. The dogwood trees and azaleas were in full bloom and thankfully for the spring showers earlier that week the pollen was washed away (Yea! no need for Zyrtec).
I was Morgan's Matron of Honor (yeish, that makes me sound old). Jeremy and Abbi were a groomsman and a bridesmaid and Zac was an usher.

Here are some favorite videos from the wedding.
~ There are several more videos on YouTube. Click here for all of the videos that I have uploaded.~

The morning of the wedding we had a Bridal Breakfast at the the Maid of Honor's lake house. So we arrived by boat.

Morgan's friends all helped to make a scrapbook of fun time they had with Morgan. Judith Anne wrote an awesome rap on her page. I love it!

David isn't a huge fan of cake, so they decided to serve Banana Pudding instead. As you can see, David is a fan of pudding!

My 3rd cousin Lucian is such a ham! He gets out on the dance floor and puts on a show at every wedding. David thought that he could hang with him, but I think Lucian has him beat.

Happy wishes to the newly-wed couple! We love you both.
