Thanksgiving Recap

My friends I had not meant to be away from this space for so long.  I've been so busy with work and not really doing anything else that I haven't had anything to share with all of you.  Here are some of pictures from our feast yesterday.

Finishing up the last of the meal!

Pumpkin Carving

Alex and I spent the day with his new law school friends...

Carving Pumpkins!

Happy Friday!

Life has a way of running away from you.  We've been in Portland for two months now.  I've been working non-stop and so has Alex I've had little time for this space and that makes me a little sad.  Though I've started instagraming.  This is a new development in my life and I'm still getting to know my new apple product!

Here are some snipets of my life.

Getting back to normal

The apartment is almost done.  Just a few little things still need to be taken care of, but for the most part everything has a place and it feels like a home.  Even the kitties are getting back to their normal selves.

On the Last day of the Congress

Emily and I went to the deepest underground train stop in North America.  

There they had a core sample and a time line.

 

Montessori International Congress 2013

At the end of July we headed up to Portland.  I attended the Montessori Congress and we found a place to live.  Here are some of the highlights...

Tulsa, OK or the day Alex hung out with Boomer the Cat

We made it to...

Early in the morning we left New Orleans.

Graduation

Well my friends I'm officially a Montessori teacher.  

Here are some photos from the diploma ceremony yesterday.

Wordless Wednesday

Birthday

Today is my birthday.

And I'm missing my Grandma 

Here we are together when I was very young.  

Brunch in DC

It's been four and a half years and many miles since I last saw my dear friend Sierra.  

Am I in Tennessee yet?

Since today was our shortest drive we got to sleep in a little bit, up at 6:45 am (4:45 for my California friends!)  and Mel made us Cinnamon rolls and packed us a lunch.  I was so happy that we were able to visit with her.  I hope I get to see her again soon (in person!).

Good Morning Alex from Margo!

Oklahoma or Bust

We left New Mexico around 6:30 (local time, for you Californians that would be 5:30 am) in the morning.  The day was spectacular, but as per Alex's and I driving arrangements I always drive first so no good pictures of the glorious morning.

Going Away

We are leaving... All too soon... But the great thing about leaving is people give you wonderful gifts to remember them by. Here is what we have received of late (of course they have to come with us on our journey)

 

Okay, Really Saturday today.

Apparently I'm off a day.

With five days to go, we had friends and family over for a farewell BBQ

Here is my Niece

Harry Potter Day

On this random day in the beginning of summer some girlfriends of mine and I decided it was a good day to have a Harry potter marathon and make some things from The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook.

We made:

Molly's Meatballs with Onion Sauce (pg 83)

A trip to remember

Today, Alex and I traveled to our home town to attended a memorial service for a man who has been a very big help to us acquiring our goals.  Dale Boothby, will be missed by all who had the privileged to know this very kind soul.

   

BBQ and Brownies

Today my dear friend Steph and her husband hosted a BBQ.  If you don't know Steph here is a picture of her and her new Tatoo! Check out her Blog HERE.  She's really into different quilts right now and she talks about her cats like I do!
