Hello Friends!
My life has gotten a little more grown up lately... New forever love of my life, new house, new job and officially a honeymooner Mrs.! Everything is a shiny adventure and untrodden territory. Follow along as I navigate the world of being a grown up!
Josh and I hosted a fun, Halloween party last Saturday! It's true, I wanted a reason to use my wedding presents and was so entertained with the idea of entertaining.
The menu was: mac & cheese bites, mini pigs-in-a-blanket, sweet-ish meatball, chex mix, chips and guac, caramel apples and jell-o "dirt" cups. My parents came over early and helped us get things set up. My mom and I carved pumpkins. There were so many creative costumes! Part of the fun was seeing what everyone dressed up as... We had a bat pinata for the little kids (they were probably still too little for it, but it was fun) and hung out around the fire pit late into the evening.
As always, here are some photos...

I can't believe that it is almost August! All of my teacher friends are going back to school and the monsoon season has finally kicked in.
Josh and I spent a week in San Diego with my family! We had a wonderful time relaxing and doing a little bit of nothing. Here are some pictures from our trip...

I had the best time at my bridal shower! Melissa, MacKenzie and Lindsay did a great job planning it! Aunties Adrienne and Renee and my mom all brought yummy food. There were pretty decorations and monogrammed cupcakes! We played fun games and we had a great turn out of my friends and family! I have completed half of my thank you cards, so my apologies if you have not received yours yet. Thank you to all my friends and family for making my shower so special!
Here are some pictures from the fun!
