Across the Map

It’s the Saturday before Halloween… and instead of going out to a costume party like every other person in the city, I’m stuck doing everything I should’ve done this entire week. Procrastination’s a real bitch sometimes.

I’ve been working all weekend on my first wedding project! I plan on hand making everything for this wedding, and while some would think that’s crazy, I couldn’t be more excited to do it. I’ve been putting together some bridesmaid’s kits to ask some of my favorite ladies to be a part of the big day!

A little sneak peak…

So… Mike’s leaving for tour in a couple days… and that normally means I mope around for a week before, complaining about how awful the next month will be (while planning all the complete girly girl stuff I’m going to do while he’s gone in the back of my head). But not this time! I’ll be tagging along with him on this next run selling merch for the band he’s been working for.

The way this tour is routed couldn’t of been any more perfect for me. I’ll be goin through Colorado so I’ll get to see Christi who I haven’t seen in years! Then we’ll be goin through Toledo, which means my parents can come out, and through Cincinnati where I’ll get to see all my friends from back home!

Can’t wait to see everybody!

Home is wherever I’m with you

This past Tuesday has easily made a name for itself as the best day of my life! (So far.)

I’m sure it’s pretty clear to everyone that Fall is my favorite time of year. And one of my favorite parts of fall is the hot drinks that come along with it. Last year during Fall/Winter, Mike and I made TONS of homemade cider. Since we will both be traveling for all of November, we made plans that one of the first things we’d do when we got back from Mexico was to go to an Orchard and pick some Apples so we could drink up as much Cider as we could make time for.

We ended up at Green Bluff, which is an area of about 40 small family farms that grow any fruit/vegetable imaginable. We decided we’d pick some apples first, then a few pumpkins from one of the pumpkin patches, and grab some cider and a slice of pie from one of the farms.

Once our box was almost completely filled with apples, Mike climbed up into one of the trees because he found the “Perfect One”. When he came down, it took me a second of looking at an apple that in my mind, was clearly not the perfect one, to realize he had a gorgeous diamond ring on the end of one of his fingers that was holding onto the apple.

And I of course, said Yes!
