Updates?

Oh my goodness. There's so much to be updated now!

September and October were already shaping up to be busy months for us before summer even started. I think we had about half of the weekends planned already, but now all except 1 are busy busy busy!

I want to share about my first experience at a bridal show! It happened at the end of July, but it was so much fun helping out one of my friends and getting to interact with future brides. As some of you may know, I do design wedding paper products on the side. It is one thing I love to do and helping Danielle out with her shows gives me a chance to develop new designs and grow! (It's always easier to design for other people/events rather than for myself!)

I need/want to share our Cincinnati trip since it was a blast, an actual vacation, an airplane trip with a one year old, and fun times with Andrew's family.



The weekend following our return, we spent the night with my best friend and her family, I went to a bridal shower, the three of us went to a one year old's birthday party, and THEN we went to Disneyland!




Andrew was out of town this past week, from early Wednesday to Sunday morning. So Owen and I "roughed" it for a few days without him. We survived :)





And this past weekend one of our good family friend's daughters got married this past weekend and everything was absolutely GORGEOUS! And I helped out with the paper, so that made it even more special to me :) And I took about 200 pictures and video, so I'll have to upload that to the facebook sometime soon...



Plus we got to see the family pictures we took the day before our Cincinnati trip today! Gah, I love 8twenty8 Studios so so much. They did our engagement pictures, wedding pictures, newborn pictures, 6 month pictures, and now Owen's 1 year pictures. Needless to say, you become best friends with a photographer who was just starting out when you met and is now ROCKING it with weddings! :)

My bestfriend and her family came down on Monday and ended up spending the night and having breakfast with us on Tuesday! Andrew hung out with Owen and I (after not seeing us for awhile) and we got to go to the zoo! I love having "weekends" during the week. :)
