Happy Friday!

Well, I’ve had a bit of a week here. On Tuesday, I got to put together a little something special for Baltimore Bride magazine. I’m so excited about how it all turned out. The magazine won’t publish until January 2013 though. I’m going to have a hard time waiting to see it in print!
Next week, I’m supposed to visit the…wait for it…Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Headquarters. I don’t think I can breathe! I mean, it’s like, the Martha lair! I’m going for the Altitude Summit Design Conference. I’m sure my phone’s camera is going to get a serious workout. If you want, you can follow along on instagram. I’m classic_play.
The kids had a big week as well. It started off with Dave’s mom coming over and playing lego and several rounds of uno with them. As the week progressed, they went roller skating and played over at friends’ houses. Today they’re off to Dutch Wonderland with my parents. My dad told the kids they have a high dive show. The youngest couldn’t wait to tell me about it, “THEY HAVE A HIGH DIVE SHOW! No, really. They have a guy who jumps off the side of a building into some water. It’s sooooooo cooooool!” I’m sure they’ll have a blast.
I hope you and the family have something fun planned for this weekend yourselves!

I may pass out from hyperventilating! I’ll probably be the only one there carrying a big brown bag to breathe into.
