September 2019 Review

This month I...

-Was a vendor at the Oddities & Curiosities Expo

(It was actually at the end of August, but, whatever.)
This went so well! I sold my target amount and received so many kind comments and even had people return to buy more! I'm looking forward to next year and hoping to maybe expand to a couple shows.

I was able to snag a couple amazing things while at the expo, including this adorable kitten!

-Started wedding planning

We booked our venue and found a photographer, both in our budget!

-Saw IT: Chapter 2
If it's September, I'm already watching scary movies. But that's true nearly year round.

September has flown by and I'm looking forward to fall weather in the coming month!

October 2019 Review

You guys! This month went by so quick! And since we got snow at the end of the month, it felt more like winter than fall. October, while busy, was a little more sedate, settling into work rhythms and taking some down time. This month I... -Turned 30 I celebrated with a little get together with friends indulging in pizza, apple pie, and games, I believe a pretty good time was had by all. I hope this year will be one of the best yet, I have lots planned and hope I don't let it overwhelm me, it's all about balance and growth. - Settled into a new church home Matt and I have been visiting a new church for several months now and we both feel like we're very welcomed and are excited to be part of this new community and beginnings of new friendships. - Hit up some amazing estate sales Seriously, it's one of our new favorite pastimes. We went to a sale in Atchison, MO, in a house built in the 1890's. We both fell in love with the house! So much charac...

Yellowstone Trip May 2019 - Part 1

Day 1 & 2 Yellowstone. Probably the most diverse scenery I've seen in the span of 2 weeks. I had planned on going to Yellowstone in 2018 with Samantha, on the way back from California, but ended up coming straight home from San Francisco. So, of course, I started planning for a trip specifically to see Yellowstone. I threw out the suggestion to my family that we should all go, and most of them agreed! Having 9 of us go introduced some difficulties but ultimately we got it all worked out and started planning what all we wanted to see along the way. The first day was just driving, we headed to Sioux Falls, SD. Day 2 was jam packed full of sights! The first stop being the Corn Palace. About half of us had been there before, but it never ceases to a-maize! (See what I did there? Eh? No? Too corny? Ahem...moving on.) Next was a ghost town in Okaton. Abandoned places isn't everybody's thing, I know, but since it was right off the highway, we stopped and...

California Adventure 2018 - Part 5

Day 6 One place I was super stoked to go to was the M*A*S*H filming site in Malibu Creek State Park. Neither Samantha or I are exactly in shape and hiking isn't something we do often. But I convinced her to go, begrudgingly so. It was about 10 miles round trip. Fortunately there was only a few places of steep inclines and it was paved for a good while, but about a 1/3 of the walk was very uneven ground with roots and rocks impeding our progress a bit. We went out early to get a jump on it, not knowing exactly how long it may take us. It was very pretty scenery and we only saw a handful of people the entire time we were there. We saw several lizards that skittered away and scared us every. Single. Time. Our first view of the filming site! This vehicle isn't originally from the show but most of the others were. It was so neat to be able to see where everything used to be and to actually sit and picnic where the ...
