random inspiration

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Rob and I had a great weekend, even productive actually! The highlights: finally agreeing on where to place our new kitchen cabinet knobs (thank you, Crystal, for being "Switzerland"), hanging the framed paper I made last week, dinner with Brent and Kristi (they prepared Kung Pao chicken for us, it was delicious), watching a Flight of the Conchords episode (this show is hysterical!), 2 good workouts and some more wedding picture perusal (oy...I'm kinda getting sick of looking at us). On Friday I also caught up with Mimi. We grabbed a bite to eat and then hit up Loehmann's, Banana Republic and Gap. We both ended up with the basic black pant, but we saw lots of other cute things - can't wait for the sales in a few weeks!

I've been listening to the India Arie album lately and I'm so inspired by one of her songs...There's Hope...it's beautiful and every time I hear it I get chills and am reminded to thank God for all the blessings in my life.



Another fun song that oddly inspires me, perhaps because of the high energy, is a song from Legally Blond: The Musical (Legally Blonde is definitely my favorite movie).



I must find a way to get to New York to see this musical!

Finally, a couple wedding photos to share.

The excited bride

The nervous groom

Side note: I actually don't think Rob was that nervous (that's what he tells me anyhow), it was chilly...but it's a funny quintessential groom shot.

This entire week is "New Teacher Institute". I am mostly looking forward to it...but also know that the end of summer vacation is quickly approaching. But when I listen to "There's Hope," I'm eager to get back in the classroom!

Happy Monday!
