About June and July ... we've been up, down, and all around. Design school is almost done, the pink house (see exact color) looks great in my head and hopefully will translate well into the final project on July 29th. Finding fabrics with this color was difficult to say the least, but the challenge was interesting and hilarious for me. I enjoyed creating the client who would want me to do their house in pink. She is basically Bella in 30 years, if Bella became a practicing lawyer. Hey, it could happen.
Trevor is on his second to last class. We will most likely have a party for his graduation in December when he actually walks. His summer activities include one day trips to Vegas with his great friends, the Larson boys. No money was won but they had a wonderful time.
My company's summer picnic was at the Santa Monica Pier which Trevor and I had never been to before. All the rides and food places were open only for us for most of the day. It was so hot that day. There was no breeze, so I went on every ride just to feel the wind. A trivia fact about Trevor, now that he is older, he does not like rides nearly as much as he used to. He did not ride one while we were there. Despite riding rides sans my husband, we had a great day.
Those are the ups of the roller coaster ride.
The down of this ride has been that my parents are moving to Chicago. It is an up too, since the reason they are moving is my dad was promoted to the job of his dreams and will be doing exactly what he's wanted to do for years. We are so proud of him and all that he has worked for. We are completely mixed with happiness, sadness and fearing the unknown of them being so far away. They will be selling their more-then-perfect house in the next few weeks, a place were we've built many many memories. More to come on this topic, but still in shock a little bit.

I can relate on so many levels concerning your parents' move. It is not easy to say goodbye to certain things that were the same for so long. I admire your positive outlook...
Hey! Thanks for the update, by the way. Tori and I were just wondering why in the world you are doing a pink house? Don't I remember that pink flowers were picked out of your wedding cake before the reception started because you don't like pink...at all? And alas, you remain a mystery to me... That's one of the many reasons we love you.
Ok, I admit I was thinking the same thing about the pink design. Have you changed your mind about pink, or did you simply do it for the challenge?
The pink was given to me randomly by the teacher at the begining of the class. Everyone got a color and I was the girl they all said, "at least I did not get 'love letter' pink. I did not pick it, for sure. The other part of this was I had to make up a client profile and it was so hard to envision a lady who wanted a two bedroom house done in pink. Seriously it was interesting because I think no other client will want this in my entire career.
Sorry about your parents' move, but we loved living outside of Chicago many years ago. It's a happening city for young people (you and Trevor will love to visit), and there is so much to like about Chicago-- art, architecture, major sporting events, the lake. Plus the midwesterners are genuinely nice people!
