Part of what I love about the girls' names is that they were both popular 100 years ago and many people with those names are now great-grandmas. Both names evoke a vision for me of sweet old ladies rocking away together on a porch. I pray Ella and Sadie will live meaningful lives full of love and will be enjoying each other on a front porch somewhere many years from now.

Bromo Seltzer date night!

A few weeks ago Chris and his ability to find SUPER random things online scored us an AMAZING date!  We got to go into the Bromo-Selter clock tower for a special anniversary event! We got a tour of the clock tower on the top, access to dozens of artists studios/galleries on the 15 floors before you get to the clock, live music, and wine, cheese, appetizers...FOR FREE!  We had such a good time perusing the art, chatting with artists, sipping some wine, riding in the original (and super scary) elevator, and getting some awesome views of the city.  This date was a surprise so I didn't know to bring my camera so sadly, all the pics are from my phone but glad I documented it nonetheless.  We capped off the evening with dinner at one of our favorite restaurants nearby. Love date nights :-)

The stairwells in there were intsense!  You could see all the way down 15 floors.
