Lately

I got to go home this past weekend to attend this little angel's Baptism.

Did I tell y'all I'm the Godmother?

Cartwheels ensued over that one.

Her nickname is Doodie Doodie Doodie.

 I'm obsessed with her.

While at home, I also got to see this one. You know her. I'm obsessed with her as well.

(Brother was there too, but that's a whole other post on his big kayaking tour)

 

We currently have no power again due to Frankenstorm....

Hmm this feels familiar.

It was the same weekend last year we had no power due to the October snow storm.

Why did I leave the South again?

Below is the Hub's Hurricane Supply.

Roses to the fact that he purchased not one but two boxes of Peanut Butter Captain Crunch

(that boy truly loves me as he knows PBCC is my kryptonite)
Thorns to the fact that most of the food he bought requires electrical appliances such as a stove.

But let's revert back to the fact that I have two boxes of PB Captain Crunch to eat and all is right again.

 

October 11th

(the hubs and i doing our best 'Zoolander' )

 today happens to be my 4th wedding anniversary

i think i'd like to go back in time and pat myself on the back and whisper,

 'nice job, well done'

and let myself know:

this handsome fella is going to crack you up every.single.day.

he's going to bring you flowers at work for no reason at all

he's going to cook you dinner, like all the time

he's going to let you make the house an obscene temperature of cold so you don't get hot at night and he has to sleep under 8 blankets

he's not going to give you crap about shopping too much

he's going to be willing to go on fun adventures with you, try new places and new things

 he's going to give you that big hug you need at the end of the day

or your space if you need it

he's going to go on ice cream runs at 9:30 at night because you have a sweet tooth

he's going to be your biggest cheerleader and your most fierce protector

he's going to let you be silly and ridiculous and love you for it

he's going to do everything he possibly can to make you HAPPY

and you are going to experience a love like you never thought possible

Happy Anniversary Daniel James,

you have exceeded my expectations in every possible way

Loving you,

Bee

She's Here

Cool evenings with the windows open, snuggling under blankets

Crackling fires

Yummy colored leaves changing on every tree

Pumpkin - everything! Coffee, recipes, scents,

 Boots, scarves and sweaters

The apple fritter stand

Good tv back on (finally!)

 Holidays peeking around the corner

 White Pumpkins decorating my house

(I'm clearly OD-ing on pumpkins)

 I heart fall.

Nothing

Like a photo booth to liven up a party.

Happy

Guess whose visiting me this week?

Can you see those two little noggins in the photo?

We visited the Mystic Aquarium on Wednesday and met this White Beluga Whale that seemed to be just as interested in us as we were with him.

Those cute little faces even make sea creatures smile.

Thoughts from the Weekend

Seeing the groom's face when his bride walks down the aisle still gets me.every.time.

I got over my spanx phobia. I get it now, I really do.

Martha's Vineyard is the Charleston of the North.

I need to own a house in one of these locations. I'm not picky, I'll take either.

The Hub's gives amazing best man speeches. The boy KILLED it.

Late night sliders and french fries are the new wedding trend and I'm loving it, even if my waistline isn't.

One day, I will get the lesson through my head that dancing while holding champagne do not mix. Just ask the front of my dress.

I still get wedding envy, like I want to redo it again and again.

All brides whose wedding was pre-pinterest, should get a do-over.

Whose with me?!

It's in the air

This labor day weekend is full of celebrations

Tomorrow I will be in one of my best friend's weddings here

(Harry Potter-ville, aka Hub's work place, aka Avon Old Farms School)

Then waking up at the crack of dawn to make it here

(2 hour car ride to make it to the 1 hour and half ferry ride)

for the hub's best friend's wedding in Martha's Vineyard.

So, yah, I'm going to be celebrating. A lot.

Manicure, pedicure, dress alterned, fake tan later, and I'm ready.

Let's do this!
