hello, are you still there? I'm back!

{our lovely photographer samantha kelly. check her out!}

well, hello.
it has been quite awhile, wouldn't you say?
so, so, so much has happened while i've been away.
big things and little things.
since my last post, here are the "top 10" since then.

1. i'm retired! i decided after much thought that it was time
to move on from the wonderful world of ballet.
it was the best chapter of my life. i will always be a ballerina at heart.

2. we made a quick move and lived in utah for a few months 
this summer while lovebird enjoyed a wonderful internship.

3. i chopped my hair. 
it's new, a change and something i have always wanted to do.
{not having to put my hair in a bun every day anymore, gave me the green light!}

4. baby stice will be joining us january 2014.
we couldn't be more excited.

5. this summer i did a bit of "local" traveling;
portland, island park, hawaii and west yellowstone.
it was a fun summer.

6. this summer, we lived with my parents.
it was a complete joy- family is one of my most important gems in life. 

7. we are back in california preparing for baby and lovebird's graduation.
california feels like home to me. we are oh-so-happy here.

8. mowgli turned one this month!
{happy birthday to our favorite pup}
we are kind of in shock that we have already had him for a whole year.
time needs to s l o w down.

9. our favorite things from summer:
fly fishing, frozen yogurt, camping in kauia, pickles,
hanging with old/best friends, salt lake restaurants, finding out about baby stice,
home cooked meals and the beauty of utah.

10. lovebird and i celebrated our 3rd year anniversary this summer.
time flies when you are in love-
and boy, am i in love. 

it's so good to be back.
i'll be here to stay for awhile.
happy holiday weekend.
xoxo

summertime is a busy time.

it's been a busy summer.
which is a complete understatement.

working like a crazy women.
road trips and visits home.
weddings galore.
  housesitting three houses at the same time.
lovebird's surgery, 'sytycd' parties, keeping up on cleaning.
days at the pool, dates with friends, and teaching piano.

which makes our long summer days seem short.
which makes our summer months pass by too quickly.
which also means fall is around the corner. literally.

lovebird and i went "home" to salt lake for a couple weeks.
we had a blast. enjoyed our visit with loved ones. and ate far too much.
here's to seeing those we miss and love...
cute cousin patsy.
isn't she adorable?
{and yes patsy, you made it on the blog ;)}

more pictures to come, as soon as i can run away from
the business of life and sit down with enough time to download photos
and write up a post to do our trip justice.

love you all. sorry for being too busy to neglect this blog world.

home at last

we're home.
finally. and i mean finally.
the normal ten hour drive turned into a 16.
oh well. no matter how long it takes to get home,
nothing is better than seeing the ones you love so dearly.
this thanksgiving will be a blast. scrumptious too. i'm beyond ready for it.
we both have missed dear utah, and it still feels like we belong. 
(which is comforting to me)
check out this gorgeous picture from our road trip...



p.s. my nails are painted red. bright and glossy red. 
supposedly, according to the fashion industry, red is the nail color for
the holiday season. so i am sticking to the trend.
