Our House (Updated May 18th). First visitors of 2012: Billy and Jordan. Billy and Jordan drove down for the weekend to have a mini-vacation from Chicago. Since I am an over-planner,. We went and hit up a lot of sites around town and had a great time. We started out with lunch at Morgan Street Brewery, then headed over to Budweiser for the Brewery Tour. They got to try Budweiser Platinum before it officially came out to the general public so that was pretty fun. So unfortunate, I felt awful. I'm trying to...

Our House (Updated May 18th). Yardsale of the Century! Not my quote, but from a friend mocking our yard sale goal this weekend. Turns out, it was a pretty hoppin', well beyond our expectations for success, out with the old and in with the new kind of good time. Well, Terry says there was no good time about that, but I choose to look at the half full glass. This is the only picture I took the whole day. It was during the only time in the day that there weren't people and I could snap a photo). I had no id...

Our House (Updated May 18th). A much needed vacation and celebration. I haven't been on a vacation since December with Allison. And chaos is very quickly about to ensue in the Gibbons/Stamps household. What better time to get away! Actually, I've had this trip back to Delaware planned for a while now, because Kristen is going to be graduating high school! So excited for her, and wouldn't miss being there to support her! Kristen at her Senior Prom. Wish I could have been there. She looked stunning! LOTS o...

Our House (Updated May 18th). Vacation Part 3: Las Vegas. Our very first stop driving into the city was at Pawn Stars location. Of course. Because we love that show! The guys weren't in that day, which I wasn't surprised by. It was really cool though seeing all the places that they are during the show but in real life. After we got settled in, we were out on the town! He has a restaurant in St Louis, and I've actually met him. Twice, so I thought it was a good idea to visit his restaurant while we were i...

Still enjoying those milkshakes! Always so much fun with this girl! I've lear...

Our House (Updated May 18th). Mid-chaos Vacation Part I: San Diego and Laguna Beach. They had a cute market area with art galleries and boutique shops that we wandered through a bit. Then we started driving down the coast to Imperial Beach. Full disclosure, we drove there because I wanted to go to the most Southwestern part of the US without being in Mexico (nerd flag flying and I don't even care), and Terry found reviews for a fresh seafood restaurant out on a pier (done and done! I'm a lucky girl.

Our House (Updated May 18th). Vacation Part II: Visiting the Family at Grampa's house. Grampa lives just outside of Los Angeles in a town called Oxnard. It was a very scenic drive up along the coastline from San Diego to get to his house, and it's always so wonderful getting to spend time with family. With the seafood that we picked up in most amazing market ever in Santa Monica, we put together a homemade dinner for them that A) mom didn't have to cook and that B)we could have more time to spend together.
