Post title courtesy of David After Dentist, who also led me to this video. So cute! Now where was I? Oh yeah. A funny thing happened last night! One minute I was at the Bender home, minding my own business, and the next I was in an office with Bobby and a notary, walking through […]

Homecoming
**Thinking of everyone affected by Sandy on the East coast and hoping you and yours stay safe.** This past weekend, Bobby and I traveled to a very familiar city. It felt good to be back in Chicago! I don’t think enough time has passed for it to feel different. Other than the fact that we drove […]
Taste of Cave Creek
Late last week, we had ourselves a Taste of Cave Creek…and it tasted good. Cave Creek calls itself “True Arizona.” Driving through, you can definitely get a sense of what it must have been like in the old mining towns, minus the modern-era roads and electricity. You may even spot a fellow citizen on horseback […]
Viva Las Vegas!
TGIM! You know things are crazy when you spend the majority of your Tuesday thinking it’s still Monday. Maybe I should blame it on Vegas? 😉 Nah. We had an awesome anniversary trip that was very different from our “grand” adventure last year. For one thing, there were a few more lights! We stayed at […]
Pane e Vino
Thank you for the anniversary wishes yesterday! We had a wonderful night of celebrating and your sweet comments made it extra special. That, and an excellent restaurant recommendation from Mama Bender, who knows her way around the Arizona eatery world better than we do (for now). 🙂 After a brief furniture adventure, Bobby and I […]
A Ghirardelli Intense Dark Experience
This weekend was amazing. We traveled to Minnesota to watch two high school friends tie the knot. Including the bride and groom, we were one of three high school sweetheart turned married couples in attendance. There must have been something in the water at Benilde-St. Margaret’s. 😉 But more on that in my next post. […]
Arizona Restaurant Week: Cheuvront
The Arizona Restaurant Week adventures continued last Friday with a trip to Cheuvront. After meeting Nicole for coffee earlier in the week, she was sweet enough to invite me to an Arizona blogger group dinner. I was so excited to meet new people while trying out a delicious meal that I quickly said yes. The […]
Birthday Boy
Although we broke the tradition of visiting McCormick & Schmick’s for Karen’s Bobby’s birthday this year, we still managed to have an amazing celebration. Easy for me to say since Mama Bender and I are the ones who planned it, but Bobby also agreed. 😉 When Bobby requested that we stay in to watch the […]
