Kendra's Favorite Things

So the move is over, well at least all the stuff is in our new place. Everything is coming together but it is interesting how things seemed to have come out of the woodwork during this move. I guess because I had been in my last place for almost 4 years, but man, oh man do I have some clothes. In all reality I do not need to go shopping for a LONG time. I have enough shoes, dresses, and handbags to last a lifetime. It was  good reminder at how fortunate I really am, and that there is no need for me to go out and buy anything new... there's just simply no room in the new place!

Kiki was out and about today and sent me this photo... she said she found it at a store... I might need to find out exactly where and purchase it... too cute!

Too many people are searching. Searching for each other. Searching for their selves. Searching for something lost, in hopes of getting it back again. And many are searching for happiness. What I say is that whatever your searching for, don’t. Chances are it’s gonna come back to you on it’s own. If it really belonged to you, it will come back. Fate has it’s way in the oddest places.

So the big move will take place this weekend, and in the middle of trying to go through clothes, furniture, etc. etc. I found a box of cards that has been under my bed for oooohhhh 3 years. Yikes! Looking through the cards from friends, family etc. allowed to take some time and reflect on how much I've grown over the past couple years, and how fortunate I am to have the wonderful people that surround me in my life. I looked through and read cards that made me smile, laugh and one (from my Grandmother) that even made me cry. Gosh I miss her! Through it all I've grown up and become a better and stronger person and I owe much of that to the people who sent me those cards. And, yes I do have a pink vacum, thank you very much!

Growing up I always wanted a sister but I got stuck with just my brother (I can't even say that half seriously since he is my BEST FRIEND). While Lindsay and I may have had a few "sisterly quarrels" over the years, I truly feel completely blessed to have her in our family. She makes my brother happy and she does a darn good job of taking care of him, even when he's being a little pill! My favorite thing about Lindsay is that she is always doing something crafty or creative for other people. Whether it's making a "coffee coozie" or planning a bridal shower, she gives everything her all and makes it look easy. She's also a fellow Sun Devil, so it made it extra easy to love her. I can't wait for them to start having kids, because I know that Lindsay will be an amazing mother. JD and Lindsay have been married for almost 4 years and I've never been happier for them. We're so lucky to have you Linds!! Love you always & forever- Ken

Anyone who knows me well knows that St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite days of the year, and it is just one short week away. This year I'll be celebrating with some friends at a small bar in Mission Beach. I just love to wear my "Kiss me I'm Irish" pin and drink Guiness and not feel guilty about it. So very excited.

"She’s not the type of girl to wait by the phone, she won’t cry, she knows it’ll get her nowhere, she’ll laugh a lot and often, and she will live her own life. She would like you to be a part of it, but she will do just fine without you."

Tonight I watched my friend Bridy's daughter Vivienne for a few hours. She is just the most precious thing ever and we had so much fun. She's probably the happiest baby I've ever met and I just can't wait to see her again soon. She was giggling and smiling until the second she zonked out.... what a perfect little girl!
