Frith O’Steen

Two bits of fun news from friends and family:

My very good friend Kay is pregnant! I talked to her last night and she and her husband Thor are expecting in February. Of course, true to form they let us know through a hilarious short movie trailer that Thor put together, and when I watched it I started shrieking when I realized what it was! (Glad I was here alone - well, Decker was here, but he can’t tell anyone how silly I looked). I am SO excited for them. Their child is going to be absolutely crazy (in a good way) - there’s no way you could combine Kay and Thor and get anything else! :)   I am so psyched for them and this new chapter - it’s going to be busy but wonderful.

And…my brother-in-law Ryan got engaged to his girlfriend Amanda over the weekend! They are a really fun couple and seem so perfect for each other - looking forward to the wedding in the coming months!

Decker and I took Katil to the airport this morning to drop her off for her business trip to NY. Boy, she’s traveled a lot this year! She spent Jan-May in NY filling in for someone in the east coast office, and then got promoted and now has subsequently traveled all around Asia and now back to NY for 10 days. It’s a good thing I like her, because the farthest my job ever sent me was Arizona. Afterwards we went and met up with Sean at his new office, and went to 4th St for coffee and juice. I felt like we were playing hooky, even though I don’t technically “work” (as in no official paycheck) anymore, but being out in the middle of the morning getting a treat felt indulgent all the same! Sean’s new space is very cool, and I’m happy he has somewhere to get away from us.
