And other things.
Happy (Almost) New Year!! Enjoying these last hours of 2014 by sitting and thinking about what’s most important to me. I was able to spend much of the holidays with family this year, and it’s only when the house is empty again that I realize how much they mean to me. Feeling extremely blessed and …
It’s no big secret that we love going to Mexico. Even when we lived in Seattle it seemed we were always heading south of the border for our annual anniversary trips. We visited Cancun in 2011, Puerto Vallarta in 2012, and spent our first weekend as newlyweds (our “mini-moon”) in Valle de Guadalupe in the …
People. It’s been over two years since we moved to San Diego! TWO YEARS! I can’t even… time just races by and doesn’t even stop long enough for us to wave hello before it’s gone. Even still, I feel so fortunate for our time here. Some of the most momentous occasions have happened in this city and though it …
Hey there! I know I owe some photos of my latest and greatest cooking attempts, but I won’t lie, I haven’t been thrilled with a lot of what we’ve tried lately (or the photos I took). Instead I’ll share some simple, healthy snacks and meals that have been my go-to for the last few months. …
Hello!! I guess I needed a little break to settle back into normal life after the wedding. Aside from the fact that I couldn’t remember what I talked and wrote about before the last year! It really is incredible how much planning a wedding can take over your life and you don’t even realize it …
Not long after I said “YES” to Michael’s proposal, the wedding planning wheels started turning in my head. I am a self-described “girly girl”, but believe it or not I had no preconceived notions about my own wedding. I would drool over other people’s engagement and wedding photos, but never gave much thought to what …
After a year of planning, we’re finally MARRIED!! Thank goodness! This past year has been the craziest, happiest, most stressful times of my life, but it was all worth it when the 22nd arrived. Even this last week has been a whirlwind with the last of friends and family departing, cleaning house, and leaving for …
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Hope you and yours are having a great holiday season xo We had a fairly quiet and very relaxing first Christmas in California this year. Saving for a wedding keeps the budget pretty tight, but we’ll see our loved ones very soon! Almost two months to the day. And a …
Hello hello! I know, it’s been a reeeallly long time since my last blog post. It seems to be harder and harder to find time these days. We’re now into December and the holidays! My favorite time of year. Though sunny days and shorts after Thanksgiving are still an adjustment (I know, even after a …
It’s now Fall and I still haven’t quite adjusted to 80F in September. Not that I’m complaining AT ALL, but the change of seasons definitely has me missing Seattle lately. Not all parts Seattle… e.g. the rain, cold, icy roads, traffic. You get the gist. I miss my old neighborhoods, familiar streets, wearing sweaters and …
