Well, hello again...

WOW.  It's been a loooong time since I've written.  My brother guilts reminds me of this every other email.

The Robbinses have been busy.  Since my last post, we have:


Been to Brazil to visit Mary:

Bought a house!

 

Packed and moved into new house (before and afters of the old apt....sayanora, 702 sq feet!  We are heading to Capitol Hill!

Learned that we are going to be Aunt Keenan and Uncle Rick in March!!!!!  Katie and Bob are having a baby!  

 (ok, so it's not this baby, but when I searched "cute baby", he appeared.  )

Been back to Lexington, VA for the first time since Katie & Bob's wedding...SO much has changed.

Celebrated our first year of marriage!

Saw President Obama speak at the DAR Constitution Hall:

Tried my first Lobster Roll (and LOVED it):

Visited Katie & Bob in Atlanta.

Family weekend trip at Pawleys.

Bought a new bed.

Eaten Taylor sandwiches 3x weekly since we moved into our new house.

Ok, I think that's about enough.  We've had great fun over the past few months, and are so excited to learn more about our new neighborhood.  We welcome any and all visitors!  I'll be posting more pics of the new house soon.

Tonight is Halloween, and I can't wait to see how many trick or treaters we get.  What is the rule on handing out candy to those not in costume?  I fear an egged house if we don't, but we'll just see how it goes.

Happy Halloween!

A little secret

The Man's Guide To Love #124 from themansguidetolove on Vimeo.

I think he's got it about right.   money doesn’t mean a thing…if you can make somebody happy…that means more than money.

Still guessing?

Can you tell what this is?

Can you?  Hint:  I'm going to be there for my birthday in a few weeks!

Thanks Cally for sending.

What were you doing when you were 11?

Trip to Brazil means TWO redeyes

We are heading to Brazil on Monday - woo hoo! Only downside to what is sure to be an amazing trip is that we take a redeye to get there and another one to get home. Oh well. Hope the Capoiera and Caiparinhas will be worth it!

The Overnight Flight is one of the few things I don't miss about life in San Francisco and Seattle. Love this hilarious sketch about the necessary evil of the redeye flight.
