The First Supper

After a delicious meal of quinoa pasta and zucchini, fresh Parmesan and savory sausage we shared a pitcher of mojitos for old times sake and discussed the future for Babs. Things on the agenda this month.... Seats are coming out, a cleaning party and a glitter floor (blue bird blue of course!)

Journey Home

My Hubby and his brother negotiated the drive home - it only took us 1/2 hour to figure out the reason the air brakes weren't disengaging was because the emergency release lever on the door was open. The things you learn when you own a bus.... after that she drove like a dream. (the reflection of my bangs cracks me up and I love that Liam postponed his nap to join in on the adventure)

Babs at her old home - how do you like that Colorado sky in the background!

Babs driving down the 402 - she's not the speedy type, prefers to take in the mountain scene and get bad gas......mileage.

fall streets of Loveland

yeah!! here is me and Babs. Can't wait to get a picture with Carrie too! (I am both excited and totally freaked out at how huge she really is.... but the girl is a dream come true and fits nicely in the driveway)

Today is not the first day...

"BABS" 10/12/2011
Today is not the first day that we have talked about an idea like this;  my dear friend Carrie is constantly inspiring me to think outside the box. 

Today is not the first day that we have giggled in excitement over a success or dream come true;  Carrie was also there there to help me paint my first home and peeked her head into the hospital room the day I had both my boys.  

Today IS the first day, however, that we took a plunge together and decided to buy an old Blue Bird Bus and turn her into our Bluebird "Idea Generator, ~LIVE, LOVE, CREATE~, Epic Adventure, NO Regrets, Community Creator" Art BUS Studio!!! (a.k.a. BABS)

So there you have it.  We did it. We love her and the ideas for her. We may be crazy or we may be brilliant. What I do know, it that I couldn't have picked a better person to be crazy and brilliant with.  With our super supportive husbands and our amazing, patched together, non-traditional - sometimes dysfunctional, family by our side- we step into our new adventure with open hearts and open minds.

Dream Catcher

Dreaming about a bus can be constant. Time to create I say and dream away. This dream catcher represents the need to hold on to all my ideas and let the good ones slip down the feathers and into fruition. On Tuesday we will know for sure if the bus is coming home to us. In the mean time I sit on the edge of my seat, with a giant ball of excitement in my chest. Could this really happen? Only 4 more days await and the epic adventure will begin.
