between the bars.

Random thought... 

It's strange how much music can effect you in the most unexpectedly deep ways. I sat down tonight with a book and Elliott Smith in my headphones... I just had to stop and close my eyes and whisper the words. He is/was one of those artists that I can't listen to passively... The melody seeps into me and fills all the open space in my heart. It sounds a little silly to put it that way, but it's true! We humans are so lucky to be able to experience something so beautiful. Go evolution! (or Creation, if that's your dig.) 

Okay, so that was weirdly emotional! Ha! I haven't even blogged in almost a year.... Why not jump in head first?

halloween.

This was our first Halloween in the new place and it was magical! We basically have the cutest house ever.


Mandatory party photo: (I was a bumblebee and Scott was a party-pooper!)

first trip to the vet.

I was so sad to take Frankie to get her vaccinations... She seemed so scared to be there! She hides up behind my head when she's feeling threatened, so this was her perch before the doctor came:

 And she totally killed me with her little claws when the doctor came in:

  But she was alright when we got home and was so cute in her little bandana!

It was definitely a good lesson... but it'll be even more sad to take a little baby to the doctor some day! :( Good thing that won't happen for a long time.

photo life montage 10/17-10/24

Late again! Ha! It was kind of an un-epic week...

South Park mid-week bar run:

For some reason, Scott and I sat on opposite sides of the table at Alchemy, and Scott said Jorge and I look like a couple!

Furthering that image, we shared a drink.

The "couple" at the other side of the table.... :)

Girl Scout Camping:

Then, I went "camping" with Lynsey's Brownie troop that weekend. It was kind of yucky weather, so we ended up roughing it inside the leader's church in Ocean Beach.

Snack time!

 Hiking on the cliffs.

Quite a lovely week.

say yes to the dress.

Wedding dress is bought! Can I say "Hooray!" enough?

My "YES!!!" moment: (Cropped for obvious reasons.)

the week in photos.

Umm... Can I just hang a huge fail sign the whole "photo a day" idea? By day three I had already forgotten to take any pictures, mainly because the whole day was pretty much just WORK. So, time for a little edit, more of a highlights reel of the week. Works much better for me. 

Sunday Farmers Market:

My view on the way to the booth!

 Rae and her mom came to visit us! SO awesome. 

My work week: 

All she EVER does!

 Binder Check Fridays. My least favorite day of work.

Nicole's Birthday Party: (generally drama filled, as always!)

Sexy time?

 Cake! Super yummy red velvet bundt cake!

Shout House!

Success! <3

photo a day.

There is a puppy on my shoulder right now. More specifically, she is the adorable little love who joined our family today, Frankie. Short for Frankenstein of course... :) She does the weirdest things like grunting and breathing tiny little fast breathes, and of course crawling immediately to perch on your shoulder like a little bird. She is the cutest thing, and Fats is even more adorable because he comes to peek at her like a toddler does to a new baby. He is so excited!

Her arrival comes with a new little project I want to do.  Since I bought my camera, I have only used it a handful of times. Plus, I have my phone too... So I am going to take at least a photo a day, and post them on here in clumps. Kind of cheesy, and very overdone, but I think it will be fun, and this is going to be a very big year! So, here goes nothing:

Look how sad Fats looks with his cone! (and his serious lack of huevos.)

The new little sweetie sleeping.
