a condensed version of my weekend

a condensed version of my weekend

Not all of this happened over the weekend, but it still kind-of counts. So last week Brand started dental school -more on that, of course, later- and I ventured onto campus and into the sim lab to take his first day pictures -as is protocol for the first day. He showed me some of his tools and this crazy dental “dummy” that sits under his desk.. I forget what they call him, but he’s creepy. Later on in the week it was national dog day, I’m still surprised how many different “national days” there are,… Read More

#dawsonstakerussia: Kaluga

One of my favorite parts about our vacation to Russia was visiting the cities that Brand served in. Our first destination (of the cities Brand served) was Kaluga -his favorite city. We took a two and a half hour train ride from Moscow to Kaluga and it was my first time on a train, do they only have these in Europe anymore?! I loved Kaluga because it was a quiet, relaxed area with loads of big shade trees.  Before we left on the train Brand got his traditional meats and cheeses – something he said… Read More

Best frozen food with Bold Chili’s at Home

One of my least favorite questions of all times is “what’s for dinner?”  Maybe it’s because I would always hear it when I was coming home from a long day of work, or maybe it’s because I really didn’t want to go home a cook a whole meal after such a long day.

awkward and awesome, the Russian way

dress: sela (russia), bracelet and shoes: St. Petersburg, Russia watch: Michael Kors (gifted) Awkward – Russians don’t understand the concept of a line, so if you are “waiting your turn” in Russia we found it best to put your hands on your hips -so your elbows stick out and so no one can cut you.  – Before we went to Russia I knew how to say “I don’t speak Russian” in Russian, and I thought I had it covered.  I’m walking in payless looking at baby shoes and a lady comes up to me and… Read More

Dawson, party of three!

Dawson, party of three!

When we came back from Russia it was a Tuesday night and it was late, late at night. Wednesday was a day we left wide open, free of anything to do because we figured we would be sleeping all day.  But, jet lag kicked in and we were wide awake by 7 that morning.  Maybe it was jet lag or maybe it was the excitement for the next day. The day that we would forever remember because we would find out if we were having a boy or a girl. But really, it was the… Read More
