25 Different Ways to Wear a Scarf

Me: "I think for the first time in my life, I am actually excited about winter!"
Bryan: "Could this be because you have new boots and scarves?"

He knows me too well.

I'm more of a summer girl than a winter one. I need lots of daylight and sunshine to live. But this clever video makes me look forward to my cozy winter scarves. 


I'm a big fan of the waterfall and braid. How bout you?




Apple Hill!

There is this magical place called Apple Hill that is open all year around, but October is when it become especially magical. Apples are ready for pickin', pie is ready for bakin', and Fall is here! It's like a Disneyland made to celebrate Fall and all it's goodness! If you are in the NorCal area, please go. It's a bunch of farms that have pumpkin patches, apple picking, breweries, live music, and booths. You just hop in your car and rotate through all the farms.

Cindy, it took so much strength, hard work, and heart to accomplish what you did.
Love, Bryan & Sam

This is what happens when a boy doesn't have a garage

Congratulations!

 
See the beautiful woman on the right?
She is Bryan's mama and tonight she is graduating as a R.N.
We couldn't be more proud!
Can't wait to see her! 

Update via Instagram

Life has been crazy for the both of us lately. From September to Thanksgiving, we have almost every moment packed. This might explain my lack of posting =) Anyways, here is a little update for you all according to instagram.

It's been rainy here in Davis...

But that's brought beautiful skies.

When it hasn't been raining, it's like it's summer again. 
We've been trying to get as many bike rides and picnics in before rainy skies stay.

With all the college kids moving, there is so many good thrifts.
Husband found an awesome vest for winter.

I've found more vintage sheets to make dresses out of...
Photobucket
And we got a new couch!!!! 
One we actually like to sit on!

 I also got my first college swag. 
Figured I should since I'm graduating come December. 
My last semester has been anything, but easy. 
I'm really looking forward to December. 
Seriously.
 Photobucket When I'm not studying and studying and writing papers.
I've been painting to relax.
Here is the first one.

And here's the second...still in progress.Photobucket
Hot air balloons have been floating romantically over the farm early in the morning. Husband has been sending me picture of them each morning, knowing that I love them. Never been in one, but someday that will change =)

Bryan is still busy finishing up harvest.
And because of an overload of these...

We've been making breaded eggplant...

Covering them with Ricotta...

 And topping them with our homemade Tomato Sauce and Pesto.
Bake for a bit and Yum!
 Photobucket On a grosser note: (I really should not put this after the delicious food we just went over)our neighbors got kicked out of their apartment because they were so messy. Apparently, their apartment had some critters, so as precaution our property manager sprayed our kitchen. Ew. That means moving everything out of our bathroom and kitchen and being homeless for a day.
Thanks, neighbors!

After camping out at the farm for a night, 
we cleaned the apartment and got everything 
in order just in time to study for a midterm.

Stressful situations like the one above has led us to good cups of tea 
together every morning and evening. 
There is always a pot of tea on the stove ready to go. 
It has been a saving grace.
Photobucket That's pretty much all the time I have for an update!
Leaving you with a beautiful picture of my family. 
I love them.
