Seven Months!

Ahhh, weekends. Today was "get out of town" day, and my husband and I drove 45 miles upriver to the tiny town of Salida, CO. It's strange to me that a town like Salida, which is pretty remote, can be so much cooler than my town. There are yoga studios (we have none), ethnic restaurants (we have Mexican and Chinese), artists' shops (we have perma-garage sales), and funky craft stores (we have one quilt shop).

It was fun to peruse the downtown area and eat at a Cambodian cafe. I had the pho, which is pronounced "fuh" for those of you who are not in the know...as I was about five hours ago. It was delicious.

I'm wearing the same ol' stuff lately, and this is my favorite shirt and pair of pants. They fit well, show of my adorable (and very round) baby bump, and can be work for work or weekend. That's my idea of a "cute" outfit these days.

On the way home, we stopped to take a short hike to this super-cool (no pun intended) icefall. Ah, the joys of winter. Short, chilly, hikes and bowls of warm soy-infused soup. There's nothing better.

Beautiful Day

Happy day after Boxing Day! (Will the holidays just stretch on forever, please?) We had a beautiful day with friends today, and it was nice to actually get dressed up and get out of the house.

I am loving my new socks, this fab print dress that I got at the goodwill, and this belt that used to wrap 1.5 times around my waist, but now needed a new hole veeeerrrry close to the end. Also please notice my lovely 'B' necklace (a gift from my dear husband) from Two Little Doves - an etsy shop. I love it! (Thanks, Liz Lemmon for the idea.)

I'm Alive!

But burried under 5" of unexpected snow! Winter has been mild so far...in fact, we had temps up to 62 degrees yesterday. But, Colorado weather is a fickle friend, and we recieved a nice snow storm yesterday. How am I staying warm through all the snow and freezing temps? Layers and boots. Lots of layers and lots of boots. Hopefully, I'll even wear my new boots tomorrow and give you a peek at what Keen is offering this year - they are so nice.

As you can see, my most prominent "accessory" is getting bigger and bigger every week. We're now at 28, and I'm loving every day. I promise I've been wearing cute outfits (despite only about 1/10 of my wardrobe actually fitting me), but the lack of light has made taking photos virtually impossible. I know, I know... excuses.
