Yosemite

A while back my Dad came to visit and we went camping at Yosemite. I am more of a hotel girl than and camping girl but I went along to be a good sport.

We had some fun roasting (burning) marshmallows ...

we enjoyed nature ...

my dad hiked Half Dome ...

while Josh and I hung out at our campsite and watched the cute little rodents running around.



Then it rained really hard all night and my Dad's tent got soaked by a puddle that formed around it (see pic below) so he decided we should go home early. I tried really hard not to be excited that we were ending the camping trip early :-)

I took this overcast, dreary photo as we were leaving - unfortunately the beautiful mountains are covered by clouds.

Happy Halloween!

This is my darling Monkey in his Halloween costume. As you can see it doesn't quite fit. You would think that since I bought a dog costume in size small it would easily fit a cat. Not even close!

Long time no post ...

Is it wierd that I feel guilty about neglecting my blog? We've had a lot going on so unfortunately blogging went to the bottom of the priority list. Since the last post my dad came to visit from England, we got the keys to our house(!), quickly packed, moved our stuff into the house, and went to Philly for a week. Stayed tuned for pictures and more details.

Woohoo go Phillies!!!

One Year!

Today marks one year of marriage for Josh and I. It has been a great year - in fact it doesnt even feel like its been a year. I guess its true what they say: time flies when you're having fun!

Some wedding day favorites:

And a few from last night before dinner:

Farmers Market Loot

Organic deliciousness - Yum!

Reason #621 that Farmers Markets rule: The Heirloom tomatoes (my favorite) were only $2 per pound - much better than the $5.99 per pound I paid at Whole Foods a few weeks ago!

29

Dear Josh:

Happy 29th Birthday!!!

I'm so glad we're the same age again. Hurry up and come home from work so you can open your presents and we can start celebrating.

Love,

Laura

Guess what?

If all goes according to plan Josh and I will be home-owners soon!!!
We have been looking at homes for the past month and found out this past Tuesday that our offer on our number 1 choice was accepted. Inspection and appraisal are next week so please keep your fingers crossed that nothing big comes up. We are extremely excited but also nervous about this major purchase!
