breakfast with katie

My niece, Katie, is staying with me this weekend. We attended a Breakfast at Tiffany's themed bridal shower on Saturday morning, and I had a great time dressing her all up. Katie has this awesome vintage look about her, and the cool outfit makes her look like an old movie star.

No, not the beer! The faceless man sitting across from me at a microbrewery last night.

Could it be???? Yes, it's true! I am no longer single. Just when I had given up (most) hope and decided I'd be going into my 40's single, and was finally completely fine with that, BAM! Some coworkers at work played matchmaker and set us up. Many emails and a meeting later, we totally hit it off and have been seeing each other ever since.

I'm not giving many details at this point, since he doesn't yet know that I even have a blog. But let's just say: it's been about six weeks, he's fantastic, and I'm having so much fun!

My niece, Ellen, stayed with me for four days last weekend. High on her list of activities was to meet my little neighbor, so we invited her over to run through the sprinklers on a very hot, muggy day. The two of them had a blast together, and I got to shoot some fun photos. Please excuse the embarrassingly long grass in my yard - I haven't been home very much this summer and it shows!
