How in the world is it already November?? Seriously, it’s crazy! But I am very excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas…it’s my favorite time of the year. Plus, I’m actually okay with it getting cold this year because I just got two new coats!
This Week’s Favorites
- Even though this technically happened last Saturday I’m still including it! I seriously have the best friends and a few of us got together and went to James River Cellars and did a wine tasting! So much fun plus I now have another wine glass to add to my collection! Then for lunch we went to one of my favorite restaurants…Baker’s Crust. YUM!!!
- AND it gets better…I thought the birthday festivities were done but I got off late from work and more friends surprised me at my house! I had NO idea! It was hilarious and props to them for surprising me! My friends are the BEST and I love them all!
- My meeting with my designer was on Sunday. Originally we were going to meet in Fredericksburg but unfortunately Emily was sick so we had a phone meeting instead! This was great too…we chatted for a while and I am SO excited to move forward with my branding!
- I met with one of my 2013 brides this week! Plus we got to eat sushi…my favorite!!! Win-win!
- It was Halloween! And since we slacked on things this October…Mom and I decided to decorate, carve pumpkins, and bake/cook all on Halloween! Talk about a busy day! But it was a lot of fun and it was so great to be with family.
- I am almost done with my first wedding album! I am SO excited about this and I cannot wait to see the finished product. I will do a blog post on my wedding albums soon and I can’t wait to get my first sample album!
Fast Forwards
- I am upgrading my camera body…woot woot! The big purchase will be made this weekend!
- Get more work done! Yes, I know it’s the weekend but my list keeps getting bigger and bigger!!
- I don’t have a crazy weekend…and I’m okay with that!
Now for some photos from Halloween! Enjoy!

My first attempt at a pie! Apple hand pies with a cheddar crust! I slaved over these for 4 hours but it was worth it…they were delicious!!!
