Baby Byrd

This past weekend, I experienced my first baby shower! Clair, one of my college roommates and friends, is expecting Baby Will Byrd in December. I must say, we did a great job throwing our first baby shower, complete with a "Byrd" theme :)

Minneapolis

Since I am, we will call it "blessed", to travel with my job, Watson sometimes joins me in such locations. Back in the summer, I started traveling to Minneapolis, MN. I really wasn't sure where that was exactly but I have come to learn the area real quick! A couple of weekends ago, Watson flew up to meet me and we, of course, had to hit up the Mall of America along with a Twins Baseball game!

We're Moving...

Ha! Not really BUT if I could move here and not feel homesick or have to work, blah, blah, blah, I would!

ITALY is where we're "moving" to. We just got back, in September, from an amazing, dream trip to several regions/towns in Italy and already want to go back. We visited Rome, Cinque Terre, Pisa, Tuscany Region (Siena, Florence & Chianti) and Venice. As always, we packed a lot of sightseeing during our trip and were exhausted when we left but wouldn't have done it any other way!

Of course, we took hundreds of pictures so there's no way to post them all. Here are a few of our favorites :)
