lately in pictures.

already over it.

Last week I gave in to Nielsen's Frozen Custard. It was the first sweet I had in 6 months. It tasted so good, don't get me wrong, but left me with quite the belly ache. 

What I like the most about the outcome of my no sweets thing, is that it changed my lifestyle. I no longer even notice the candy isle at the gas station or am tempted to eat random junk just because it's in front of me. There are so many alternatives that make my body feel so much better! 

I feel like this has really stuck and I hope I continue to be strong! For me, it is a much much better way to live.

11 days until one year of marriage.

I'm thinking a engagement/wedding/reception recap is in order soon, like my sister did here. There were so many details that I don't want to forget! It was certainly the best decision I have ever made.

we like to go to breakfast on saturdays. i had to introduce josh to blue plate. of course.

Nora the protector

Yesterday morning I decided to take Nora to the dog park to let her run around. We go to the Tanner Park one, so it is basically a hiking trail. Usually Josh and I go together and Nora runs wild. This time, since it was just her and I, she wouldn't leave my sight. She would run ahead, look back at me and wait until I caught up with her. I felt like she was protecting me, since I was alone. She was being so sweet…it just made me love her more. She is the best dog. We seriously lucked out. 

Halloween Party

Josh and I decided to host a Halloween party at our house this year. We loved seeing all the creative costumes our friends came up with. 

I didn't do a good job of taking pictures of the food and decorations, but thank you to everyone who brought cute Halloween inspired appetizer. Everyone seemed to have a blast playing the classic games such as pin the wart on the witch, candy corn toss, bobbing for apples, and donuts on a string. 

We love our friends and it was fun to mix both Josh's and mine. Everyone was so sweet.
