The Fourth!

We had Fourth of July.  In which I wished desperately we were at the beach in which we were not because I am a Registered Nurse in the State of North Carolina.  Which means, that in the State of North Carolina your nursing profession requires you to miss out on things you love and care about for the sake of the art and science of nursing.

 

So instead we went to a pool party after I worked and watched the fireworks from Dorothea Dix field.  Don't even get me started on the travesty that is the State of North Carolina not caring in the slightest for the mentally ill in relation to the State of Dorothea Dix.  By the way, how are we {the tax payers in the State of North Carolina-so no this question obviously does not apply to EVERYONE-} going to pay for the maintenance of a big beautiful park that I do not deny for one minute would add value and quality of life to the City of Raleigh?  I don't know abouchu:  But I like my money right where I can see it.  On my pay stub.  Not paying the lawn maintenance crews.  If so, I will hire them.  For my yard.  It's entirely too big.  That's what you get when you marry a self-proclaimed "Country Boy." 

A "yard." Ugh.  Smack me with a  Pick Ax.  Yes I now know what that is. 

 

 

Back to us having a great time at Dorothea Dix field.  Here we are loving fireworks and Raleigh and nice nights out with friends!  Ye haw. 

 

 

PS Please forgive me for that earlier rant.  Sometimes you just have to say how you feel in order to move forward.

Err.

Hello audience.  I keep disappearing.  Not because I am noncommittal rather just busy.  Ok I lied.  I'm not that busy I have been feeling a bit...errr..under the weather.  Urnder ther wearther.  I mean I've been DOING STUFF I just haven't had the energy to TALK ABOUT IT.  Imagine that.  First time in my life.

Herrr's Serme Urrpderrtes.

We had Faerrther's Derr.

Complete with all of the Faerther's Favorites.  Banana Pancakes.  A child at Pullen Park, {in case you didn't know, the train says, "choo choo" complete with hand motions.} Chicken Stuffed Pastries.  Yes I said that.  Then I slapped your grandmaw.   And Banana Pancake Nutella Snack Samich's.

Are you hanging on the edge of your seat for more?  Stay tuned!

The Merrimon-Wynne House

So now then are any of you sweet cheeks planning on getting married any time soon?  Feel Free.  Because now Downtown Raleigh can accommodate your celebrations.

 

The Merrimon Wynne House

 

 

This week was Jodi's Ground Breaking Ceremony and while the invitation was actually meant for Josh who is involved as a participant in the renovation of this beautiful historical property {as opposed to myself: the observant} I have only minor qualms pretending as though I am a "part."  Because I love Jodi and I've got nothing better to do.  And can I just take this moment to say, that this is exactly what Josh and I were looking for when we got married however unfortunately Raleigh was not yet prepared to deliver.  Needless to say, momma {myself: the observant} is super proud.  Get it girl.  And ps can we have our friend group Christmas party there this year before you officially open?  And New Years?

 

In the meantime, feel free to educate yourselves in a little bittle of Raleigh's history:

Not going to lie.  Sometimes I have to put this on repeat to myself.

Summer Pahties.

Oh you planned on throwing a soiree this summer?  I don't know that I will be, but I am accepting invitations.

Too Bad.
