Summer Wedding

9:00:00 AM


Last weekend was stocked full of fun and excitement. 
After rolling out of bed at 4 on Saturday morning, slowly getting dressed, munching on a Blueberry Clif Bar (my fave) and going off to work, it was time to come home at 11 and get ready for a wedding.  My step-cousin was getting married. 
I hadn't been to a wedding in a long time and I was pretty excited that two of my friends were going to be at the dinner after the ceremony! 
I was feeling a bit anxious, I could probably blame it on the 24 ounce iced coffee I had, but once I was seated with my friends, I felt much better. 
The reception was set in a medium sized room, the decorations were so nice. I always like to look at them, and of course the plates had a little candy set on them! 

We spent the time talking and wondering how the caterers knew which plate everyone was going to get, which we discovered it was our name tags on the table that gave it away. 
The food was great, the dessert afterwords was amazing...who doesn't like mini cheesecakes? Three different flavors? I'm in! 
I had Chicken Cordon Bleu (left photo), and mini cheesecakes (chocolate, turtle and lemon!) I did sneak one of my friends who wasn't at the wedding two of the little desserts to work with me the next day...as I had been standing at the table for a bit charging my phone. 
The night was spent watching the younger kids take over the dance floor, and even some of the older people got in on the fun as well. 
Over all, it was really nice spending time outside of work with my friends as we don't really get the chance to do that often. It's always fun getting to see family members, and sometimes realizing that you wish you'd stay in touch more often. 
I did not drink coffee the next day, as after the one I had had me feeling like my bones inside my body were vibrating. I think I'll stick to my raspberry ice tea, two sweet n'lows and maybe a shot of blueberry flavor to go with it...if I feel adventurous! 
Thanks for reading! 
What's your favorite part of going to a wedding?

Autumn Stroll

I know this post might seem a bit late into the season already, but hey I've been busy! 
I love this time of year. The weather usually isn't too hot and it isn't too cold! I can bring out my comfy sweatshirts and big scarves. 
The leaves look so pretty with their orange, red and yellow colors. 
This being said, I decided that I needed a break from taking almost twenty pages of notes and I had to get out of the house. 
I hadn't gotten to use my nice camera in awhile and this was the perfect opportunity! 
I got into my car, and headed off to a spot where I have gone to twice since Sadie passed.
It's peaceful there and I've always liked being by the water. 






I hope you don't mind that this post is a little more picture-esque! I'm really happy with how these all turned out! 
I didn't take too many as I thought the trail I was on, was a bit longer than it actually was. I didn't mind spending time wandering around a bit though. 
Being out and taking the sights in was really stress-relieving and felt really good. 
Though walking about by myself made me kind of lonely, and part of me wanted to invite someone along but the other part of me enjoyed my little alone time. 

I hope you all are having a great season so far! Remember to follow me on twitter, instagram, bloglovin and pinterest! 

Also!!!!! 
I'm thinking about doing christmas cards this year and maybe opening a PO box, so if you think it'd be fun to exchange cards let me know! I love hearing from you!
